Dreamboat -- I spent years drinkin', even though I shouldn't have As a character trait, I think, was that good or bad? Well, without it I probably wouldn't have The focus that I have to truly live 'cause I was good as dead So, I wrote, and then I wrote again, I had to Think what wasn't quoted yet, by Any other person, who ever had to go through that I hadn't even told my story yet, but I Felt like everybody heard it, or like the whole world had I'm just another white rapper, lookin' at his wrist watch Watchin' time go by while Mack goes platinum off of Thrift Shop And I think, I started out with that dude And then I think again, damn, my time must be past due I feel like, what worm hole did I just pass through? It's like the timeline my life was on just went as-kew Shit, this is what my life has amassed-to? Starting over at 29, trying to push my tracks through? Some people call that laughable, and that it's unimaginable I'd have to be a fool to think that I can do what rappers do But I can, 'cause it ain't the skill of the man it's the will of the man with a Helluva plan, to build up n' stand on top the product he built with his hands See, the best part about me Is that I'm all about seeing...and reaching for the hologram things That which can't be touched by this olive drabbed me I'm a soldier, in the trenches of my dream scape Crawling through the gunfire, 'cause I gotta keep pace Time is not a luxury, I gotta stay alive because I'm Fighting with myself to never see my vision die I feel like I've gotta catch up, but I'm stuck up in slow motion Grindin' all this rust off, I'm cussin', there's no motion I just wanna blast off, and justify this whole thing Take my boat and cast off, sailing on my own dream And now, I can teach others who don't believe To hop on my boat, grab an oar and row with me I don't take kindly to those like, "woe is me..." Or words like "maybe", "we'll see", or "hopefully" "Hopefully" is for the skeptical, "maybe's" for the unsure "We'll see" is for the wary, and all have only one cure Which is to put the work in like you're training for Olympics Put all of the doubt and all the pain up in this instant It's nobody but you, so all the haters get a digit The middle one, 'cause no one's gonna stop this train n' engine But if I can make a difference, breathe the life back in a ghost See, it started with this phantom, if I can be that little hope That little light that little glimmer, in the middle of the winter That froze over someone's soul and then just livin' turned 'em bitter Then I did my part, I brought 'em up out the ice age I thawed 'em from the inside, and I got 'em back to life, rain Smiles, came, bright, unstrained, price...less...man (main) So I'm sittin' on my dream boat, once it was a raft And then a skiff, and then a sloop, soon a yacht and then a ship You can hop up on my boat, because I need a crew of dreamers You can navigate with me while we achieve a new demeanor And it's a gonna be a struggle, through the sea and through the storm The structure just might buckle, while we teeter through the course That we have set to reach our destination, yes, there is no going back Yes, this is a test of patience, will you go on knowing that? And now the question raises, do you have the will to do this? Do you have the fight within to do this 'til it kills you?  Prove it! So I'm just sitting on my dream boat, floating towards the sunset Forever chasing dreams until I'm down to only...one...breath...

Verse 1-- I, I got the past behind me, got me lookin' at that shit up in the rear view, not Every little granule of dust has settled, but, lookin' to the future gotta clear view And I'm only askin' where to, got the open road in front of me, n' a tank of gas All cylinders burnin' me externally, internally, and I'm only letting up if my ankle snaps My foot'll take a nap, on the pedal, then I sped up n' I'm blazin' past And you know that I be murderin' the beat, and I do it in a mothafuckin' Jason mask See I betcha everybody remembers, when I was drinking my face off, the Bottle was tethered, to my hand, never sober I was modeling when a Problem's obviously turned to a deadily venom But, this about erasing, chasing Things up ahead you know are waiting, pacing Around the room gotta stop debating, take things Why the fuck we waiting? There ain't a cure for aging I ain't doin' maybes, money over ladies After I get paid they're the ones who be chasing Runnin' after me try'na get up in the mercedes Let's mothafuckin' live like they did in the eighties Man, I got my eyes face front Drivin' like you would up in a ar-cade-son Try'na make this my occ u pa tion, lookin' Forward to the day my fuckin' star-date-comes 'Til then I'm gonna gun-it I'm comin'-runnin' the colors Together I'm fuckin' thunderin, son-of-bitch is punchin' it- Comin' quick, a hund-a-red plus, go Runnin' for coverage you ain't fuckin' wit us! Verse 2-- There ain't no goin' back then...nah, there isn't Why the hell would I go back there? I'm on a mission Tired lookin' at these crack-heads, n' tweakers always itchin' Drugs takin' out my best friends, they drop off, invisi- -ble status, givin' into this habit, then they ghost out like phantoms Sat with a friend, up in a meetin', n' saw her leg kick n' spasm Asked her if she really wanted it, but then she didn't really want it- 'Cause she couldn't imagine Livin' her life without a needle in her arm, pushin' that H that magic- Intravenous, she sinkin' deeper, but she doesn't ever really wanna sober up Then she runs away, does anybody know where she is? Man, no-one does Just another one erased, without a soul, it got sold for drugs, it's so- Sad to see someone's baby-unaccounted for, 'cause she's gone for good Man, you think I wanna stick around, and live without goals bitchin' out? Watching everybody just stick it out, and settle for a life because they chickened out? Man, I'm gonna live without, fear or, wondering what if it's now, or- Never, there's never gonna be a better time to fuckin' get up n' get it ya gotta live for now!

I remember that day, was waiting for a cafe latte You were paying for a grande moche, but you were short on some change N' when you looked back to me, in the middle of askin' me, for a Dime or quarter, I caught a glimpse of us, together so happily I was lookin' in your eyes, and, you were lookin' in mine And right at that time, a song came on, it went, wouldn't it be nice to Live together, in a kind of world where we belong, remember that Night up in September, where we just danced along? Seemed like the night would last forever, and we were laughin' all, the way into The morning light at seven, you finally fell asleep inside my arms, and when I Opened my eyes, you kissed me, with my cheeks inside your palms She said, "I hope you missed me." Well, you were in my dreams so I propose, that we Stay in bed all day, we'll order in, you can Take a bath with rose pe-tals-babe, Imma Show you I love you in all the li-ttle-ways, from Winter to summer, and all the mi-ddle-days Just keep ya body next to mine, keep, ya skin on my skin all day, n' Keep ya lips locked to mine, 'cause, they're sweeter than a bag of, Ski-ttles-taste Now, let's fast forward, see champagne and hor d'oeuvres Well, that was what we ordered-was an elegant wedding, family, friends and more turned- Out to hear two words repeated, so it was really more like four words "I do" and "I do," now, kiss the bride that's knockout gor-geous And as we danced the floor turned, all eyes on us As I took her for-a-turn, everyone put their i-Phones up N' hit the video recorder, capture us as an item, just Us two, n' I'm drunk off her, I'm buzzed, like drinking from a styrofoam cup It's magical, I put her up on a pedestal N' she leads me to a steppin' stone, so we're equally incredible It's so effortless, what we have it's al- Most like dream, when it comes to ma wife and me, we're just symmetrical It's magical, I put her up on a pedestal N' she leads me to a steppin' stone, so we're equally incredible It's so effortless, what we have it's al- Most like dream, 'cause it is in my mind I'm dreamin', to reality I have to go BACK! Adjust my eyes, I'm standin' in amongst this line I'm lookin' at the girl in front of me, tear her purse apart, just to buy A grande mocha, but she's ten cents short So I dig into my pocket n' I realize the change I brought was ten cents more, than I Needed, n' she needs it more me, this feels repeated When I tap her on the shoulder to greet her and, give her my dime-I swear I've seen her Somewhere else, maybe in a past life, I don't know-resilience Has me askin' her, "Have we ever met before?...you look so familiar..."

You know I once heard a proverb that read: Yesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery And today is a gift, because it is the present... But I guess that's the struggle... Amidst all of grinding and hustling...I still gotta find time to breathe... Sometimes, I don't got time to think sometimes Go a whole damn week without an inkling I, know Who am, or know what's really on my mind All I can say is I get up to do it one more time See, for me it's my music, my self and my fam And I'm attached to my craft like an umbilical man If you don't like it there's no time to build up a plan Gotta keep my arrow pointed up like the symbol for man But amidst all of the hustlin' and makin' my goals It seems time doesn't have a way to place it on hold I see whole days slip through my fangas and go Down as days where I didn't have a break of my own Might've been a mistake of my own, this pursuit of my dreams While working two jobs that're just the root to a means To an end, and if I gotta sacrifice my minutes Then I will, hold on, I still got a bite to finish Hook-- I want to, be with you I know you, had dinner made to be...for two, sorry baby TIme is my friend, but really more like my enemy And the less that I have, I'm acting less like a gentleman More like an asshole, wish time had a capsule, that I can Sit and chill, that's probably why I can act so Stand offish, man conver-sation's so damn awkward You say you can offer, but I don't make plans off it I say with my hands stop it, this never will work, I swear I'm Cold as the body that's occupyin' a vamp's coffin My intentions are good, but, I'm pensive as hell Because time's too precious for me to spend it in jail Can't be a prisoner here, inside of my skin I gotta roam free baby, it's my right as a man, but if you're Ride or die, maybe we can modify, my Views on relationships, shit, all we got is time N' maybe it's time to make time insignificant The timing is perfect because I'd like to get intimate with you You know, we always act like we're too busy but...we're not lol. Hook-- I want to, be with you I'm gon do, the things, I said I would do... I won't screw, this up, just please, can you Guide me through, lead me, to you

For the longest time, I was the nice guy I'd be the first to diffuse her low lights, with high fives Be the shoulder she could cry on, and as she dried her eyes On my shirt, she'd ask, "will I ever find the right guy?" Ouch, guess I was just a listener But when she said that, my heart got hella blisters, 'cause it Burned me, not first, second, but third degree, when I asked her "What about me?" It's like she'd never heard of me "You?" She said. But at that time, I never told her I had imagined us as newly-weds I never told her that every time her man fucked up, it was My words, that he said to you instead, of Me sayin' 'em, I always told her he was a stupid man Especially while I held her, when her soul feelin' was blue n' black I loved her, no matter what mood she was in But all she ever said to me was, "I love you too...as friends" Hook-- I, just wanna be that guy With the suit and with the neck tie The one that every girl likes And I, just wanna be the mack type He can always make 'em act right Isn't he lucky or am, I, blind? I look back at what I came from, and Realize that over the years I became numb I look at girls who love me, like they're the strange ones LIke why would you love a man, who's strayed so far away from, what he Used to be? I've loved women since, like, day one Maybe that's my flaw, I often get mistaken for a Free ride, a meal ticket, or a pay stub S'why gentlemen are dying...they just don't make us, like they Used to, but take away our make-up And you see the scarred tissue on us, from all the break ups All the tears we've cried, because we couldn't say what We felt, for years we've been taught it's not in our make-up Our peers jeer' callin' our tears "gay-stuff" So, the belts on our hearts we tighten, and our mouths we tape-shut Fuck with all this posturing, I just need a big hug I'm tired of being Superman, I'm hanging my cape-up I, just wanna be that guy With the suit and with the neck tie The one that every girl likes And I, just wanna be the mack type He can always make 'em act right Isn't he lucky or am, I, blind? So, what am I, 29, almost thirty? No prospects of love 'cause spelled backwards, the wording says it's Evol (evil), but I think I'm just afraid of people hurting Me, and every chance for love I keep diverting So I keep my distance, I should really seek assistance But, I vow to maintain and keep consistent I don't wanna love nobody, I just wanna meet some bitches No I don't, this isn't me, who is this speakin? This is Not what I was taught, gotta stop all of this pos-turin' and Ego driven, cockiness jus' talkin' up a cocks-man image 'Cause it's not me, nah... I just wanna go, back to the point, where I can give my heart's key To that special someone who wants half of every heart beat And then one day, we get to see our kid up in that car seat See, really I'm just a softy I don't wanna front no more, I just wanna rock me (For this game of sex & ego - used to have a set of box seats But I don't want 'em no more, here, you can cop these) I, don't wanna be that guy With the suit and with the neck tie The one that not every girl likes 'Cause I, looked at him under a blacklight And then I lit him with a back-light And then I realized he's got no heart

You should be by b.a....b.y. Never seen a better lookin' pair of...Levi's When you wear em man, I can't even...sleep nights How'd you get them hips wit a boom in that petite size? I admit that when I see ya ridin' solo It make me wanna kick it with ya like a dojo Baby girl always runnin' like Flo Jo If you're scared of goin' fast then we can go slow... Just put your hand inside my hand girl, we can Cross the country in a van or in a camper, lay under The stars, see all the planets in a pattern, Because the Universe is adamant we act first, And ask questions later, I don't even have doubts When go to bed exhausted and I pass out And wake up lookin' at you, all I do to act out Is kiss you on your lips and slowly move my hand south. I love when you kiss me I love when I know it's jus' Me and you this will go down in history As my sanctuary baby I could never picture you gone. Even when you miss me I'm out there on the road an', hittin' Motels, I know that you're with me All I gotta do is, just picture you and I'm home.
