"I knew a nigga who dreamed of flyin' boats; then he drowned in deep thought 'cause they made his hope float..."

lyrics

[Intro - Quentino]
Now I got somethin' to tell y'all, man:
Y'all gotta dream, bro?
You better get to it!
Live it out!
'Cause I'm tryna live out my dream, too!
Hear me out...


[Verse - Quentino]
From the beginning of time, yeah, I ain't gonna lie
I was too busy tryna make sure that I do this and that
Sometimes my dreams end up changin' on me
But I guess that's life
Because you know what, man? I have to think twice
Or three times, just before I could be able to make an action
And everything else that people be thinkin'---like a reaction
But I'm still gonna be able to do what I do best
But you end up thinkin' that you ain't ready for the test
But yet, even God will put you through a test
I ain't gonna lie to y'all people,
'Cause you know what, man? It's all true, to the eagles
Everytime that I be thinkin' 'bout it, man, I'm tryna be able to see Mars
Be able to reach for the stars
Sometimes I be thinkin' that that sky is the limit
But it ain't the limit for me...I'm goin' deep into the space
Yes indeed, you could say I'm outta this world, bro
'Cause I plan on bein' deep, outside of this world, bro!
Regardless of what they be thinkin'---boxin' me like styrofoam
Nowadays I be doin' things almost like an All-Star
But instead, you know what man? I'm makin' my own kind of records
Makin' sure that I do things in my profession like that level!
Even though I'm with different people
It's still ChromeOmega till the day that I'm gone
It's already in my veins, what you know isn't gone
And everything else that these people thinkin' of (my) tone
Yeah, my tone might be deep in the gutter
{Deep in the utter}
But y'all don't understand what it's like to be another
Person that's an outcast
Sometimes I be thinkin' that I'm an OutKast
But do I care if I'm known as the outcast?
Nah, I really doubt it
Rarely believe that at all 'cause y'know what, man?
This is my life that I'm livin'.
I'm hopin' to be able to reach that dream
That goal that I've been dreamin' of!
And if y'all think y'all can get in the way, try me!
But I doubt you'll be able to stand in the way--- why eh?
Ignorin' the way y'all thinkin' that I end up livin' my life,
Y'all too busy goin' after all these other Faymus rappers
You can't even give people from the underground a chance
And if you did you probably gave 'em, like, one chance
Yeah, I done seen it so many times
We barely get a chance to do anything with our lives
We too busy bein' judged, too busy bein' stereotyped
I done seen it so many times...
Man, I just respitted my line!
And every time that I think about it, I don't get it
Why do we speak of death, when we don't even know what happens?
I'm sick and tired of hearin' about death
I'm sick and tired of havin' this whole damn world on this chest!!!
Because you know what? This life that I'm living
Is full of the bullshit that niggas end up puttin' us in, and
Nowadays, that I think about it... shit,
We put ourselves up in this life... shit!
And this a damn shame, though
But I gotta get goin' till the day that I finally reach my main goal
Gotta keep on racin' to the finish line
Yeah it's a long way there, but I'm tryna be able to reach it
Regardless of what they think, regardless of what they say
Don't let nobody tell you that you can't reach your dreams, bro!
'Cause I'm reachin' for mines, too, and I'm hopin' that you reach for yours also! ...
