Still Dreaming - Funky DL

Still dreaming / No reason to still be dreaming

Verse One

Remember everything they told me while I’m smoking this «rollie» / I kick back

and note they tell me cos they can’t really show me / so once again I feel

lonely but they can’t throw me / if only the pages of my lyric textbook speak

for me / a demo gets cut, a record label calls me / they sign me then put the

record out and then they tour me / on stage they applaud me / shorties coming

to my dressing room to have an orgy / such a fabulous story / it’s the life of

an MC, successful paid but stressful / no longer have to live the life that the

rest do / God bless you, other rappers wanna pester you / the same people who

didn’t like you are standing next to you / but beware, fake nigga’s cut you

just like a vegetable / now you rocking hip-hop in heavy metal festivals / is

this the life of an unknown artist?

/ Trying his hardest to reach the dreams

that he started with?

Still dreaming of the record deals, fast life / money stacked up,

but it feels like your still dreaming / of the parties the females,

sign a contract screw the details / your still dreaming of the fame and

celebrity / you made it to the top so you could never be still dreaming / and

it seems like there’s no reason to still be dreaming

Verse Two

Studio schedule intense, making more money than sense / record label put your

best joints on the bench / need you more mainstream, now you second guessing

should have kept this as a daydream / plans ain’t coming together the way the

A-Team do / on one side it’s team record label, other side is team you / and

it’s not that clear, none of this is see through / got strangers trying to say

the best way to be you / creatively you ain’t get a look in / and record sales

dying so you ain’t getting bookings / and producers no longer wanna see what’s

cooking / and no more messages from Tokyo to Brooklyn / the game giving you the

cold shoulder / now a little older and refusing to believe that it’s over / is

this the life of an unknown artist?

/ Trying his hardest to reach the dreams

that he started with

Still dreaming of the record deals, fast life / money stacked up,

but it feels like your still dreaming / of the parties the females,

sign a contract screw the details / your still dreaming of the fame and

celebrity / you made it to the top so you could never be still dreaming / and

it seems like there’s no reason to still be dreaming

Verse Three

The game, lied it’s like it blindfolded my eyes / I learnt the hard way and

never had a pleasant surprise / so I can hardly recommend the stress and the

lies / it’s too ungodly, whatever made me think I’d be fine / bamboozled,

this ain’t what I’m used to / now I’m like a puppet doing all the things I’d

normally refuse to / screw loose, people in my ear like Bluetooth / new youth,

everybody talking «he the new truth» / sitting on the outside, thinking bout

the inside / regular nine to five job, I would have been fine / too late,

now I can’t be a Marty Mcfly / eighty eight MPH struggling to get by / still

rhyme but impossible to have the passion / cos even when you dope it seems they

put you out of fashion / is this the life of an unknown artist?

/ Trying his

hardest to reach the dreams that he started with?

Still dreaming of the record deals, fast life / money stacked up,

but it feels like your still dreaming / of the parties the females,

sign a contract screw the details / your still dreaming of the fame and

celebrity / you made it to the top so you could never be still dreaming / and

it seems like there’s no reason to still be dreaming
