Testo Dream While I'm Awake - Jelly Roll

Testo della canzone Dream While I'm Awake (Jelly Roll), tratta dall'album The Big Sal Story

What if Jesus Christ came back and he was homeless?

I wonder if any of us would even notice

Speak to him all the time, but really, we don't know him

And everything we owe him, we don't even show him

I finally got it right, so I said that it was overdue

Try to treat people right, 'cause that's the golden rule

They tell me, "Jelly, we ain't met nobody cold as you"

I tell 'em, "I remember having to eat moldy food"

I try to stay confident and humble, but that's a hard balance

'Cause in my life, I've probably slept on a hundred couches

I've been through so much, and now I tell the world about it

Can't believe I made it, I was so doubted

I went to jail for the pack that I pieced out

My people left me out to dry like a beach towel

I can see the stars, they in my reach now

I told my daddy he could finally sleep in peace now

How much can I take? Got my hands to the sky

I'm searching for a break, got my knees on the ground

My head up while I pray

I'm talking to the Lord, I need a better way

I only dream while I'm awake

I only dream while I'm awake

I only dream while I'm awake

I only dream while I'm awake

I only dream while I'm awake

There's two sorta dreams in life

The one you have while you're asleep

And the one that you stay awake just to chase

There's no telling how many miles you may

Or may not have to walk just to catch your dream

But always remember

Dream as if you'll live forever, and live as if you'll die today

Dreams are today's answers to tomorrow's questions

I always felt rejected, never accepted

Came in this game hoping they would make exceptions

Now I got these critics always dissecting

Every mixtape but I don't need they suggestions

This my direction, my own lane, my own thing

My own squad, Molly Gang, it's A game

When I started they told me that I would never budge

They said a white boy can't rap about selling drugs

They said that I was stupid, said I was actin' wild

But if that's all I know, what else could I rap about?

And if it wasn't for God and the fans

I'd probably still be somewhere weighing grams

And I know how a stick-up feels

And how it feels to go to Florida just to pick up pills

All the way in Cali 'bout to ship that kill

Ship that real, man I gotta get this deal

How much can I take? Got my hands to the sky

I'm searching for a break, got my knees on the ground

My head up while I pray

I'm talking to the Lord, I need a better way

I only dream while I'm awake

I only dream while I'm awake

I only dream while I'm awake

I only dream while I'm awake

I only dream while I'm awake

I'm still living in the moment

The money won't last, the reason why I blow it

I'm rapping my ass off, but critics don't hear it

Or they judging by the lyrics, or my appearance?

It's sad that this industry is all about the image now

You can only make it if you got a gimmick now

They told me they want me to change, man, that shit is wild

They said that I was too brash and I should simmer down

I said I'm really from the streets, bitch, I get around

Out of town, looking for someone to front me 50 pounds

This rap shit is cool, no denying it

I just pray I never take my skates out of retirement

How much can I take? Got my hands to the sky

I'm searching for a break, got my knees on the ground

My head up while I pray

I'm talking to the Lord, I need a better way

I only dream while I'm awake

I only dream while I'm awake

I only dream while I'm awake

I only dream while I'm awake

I only dream while I'm awake

How much can I take? Got my hands to the sky

I'm searching for a break, got my knees on the ground

My head up while I pray

I'm talking to the Lord, I need a better way

I only dream while I'm awake
