I USED TO DREAM

[Intro – soft / nostalgic / spoken]

(yeah… yeah… mmmm ..mmm. I'll nah nah...I'll nah nah,...)
Look…
Late nights… TV glow in the dark…
Dreamin’ bigger than the room I was in…
(uh…Follow your dream…)
I used to dream…

[Verse 1]

I remember back when I was younger
Wakin’ up, feelin’ that hunger
Watchin’ Yo! MTV Raps late night glow
Tellin’ myself, “one day that’s me for sure”
Seen my idols on the TV screen
Livin’ life like it’s all a dream
Told myself I won’t stay the same
I’ma make the world remember my name-OA- IN NEON LIGHTS .. (YEAHHH! Thats dope..)
Magazines on the bedroom wall
Cut ‘em out, yeah I kept ‘em all
Pages filled with the life I chased
Vision strong, I could feel my fate

[Pre-Chorus]

Back when nobody knew my name
Still had fire, still had flame
They ain’t see what I became
But I saw it every day

Hook / Chorus – mantra, catchy, hypnotic]

I used to dream about the limelight
I used to dream about the city lights
I used to dream about them fancy cars
I used to dream ‘bout livin’ large
I used to dream, now I see it clear
I used to dream, now I’m right here
I used to dream, turned pain to power
Now I’m livin’ ART...(art..art..art..)
A  canvas that's etched in your heart.
(I used to dream… dream… dream…)

[Verse 2-Rqp]

Grew up on Marvin Gaye, soul in my veins
John B. vibes runnin’ through my brain
Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G., yeah they spoke to me
Like their songs was written just to mold me
Snoop Dogg laid back, taught me game
Every verse hit deep, felt my pain
All them legends paved that road
Now I’m walkin’ paths they showed
They was talkin’, I was listenin’ close
Every lyric felt like hope
Like they tellin’ me “don’t stop now”
“Keep goin’, you gon’ make it out”

[Bridge – emotional / melodic lift]

(yeah… yeah… mmm..mmmmm.. I'll nah 
nah...I'll nah,nah..)
I remember reading vibe ,word up,and the source magazines
Now I’m answerin’ that call
(I used to dream…)

Hook / Chorus – mantra, catchy, hypnotic]

I used to dream about the limelight
I used to dream about the city lights
I used to dream about them fancy cars
I used to dream ‘bout livin’ large
I used to dream, now I see it clear
I used to dream, now I’m right here
I used to dream, turned pain to power
Now I’m livin’ ART...(art..art..art..)
A  canvas that's etched in your heart
(I used to dream… dream… dream…)

[Hook / Chorus – Bigger / final]

I used to dream about the limelight
I used to dream about the city lights
I used to dream about them fancy cars
I used to dream ‘bout livin’ large
I used to dream, now I see it clear
I used to dream, now I’m right here
I used to dream, turned pain to power
Now I’m livin’ ART...(art..art..art..)
A  canvas that's etched in your heart
(I used to dream… dream… dream…)

[Outro – reflective / spoken]

(yeah…)
Crazy how dreams turn real…
Used to watch it… now I’m in it…
(uh…mmmm.mmmm.)
From the wall posters…
To the spotlight…
Watch the whole world chant my name. OA forever in your soul
I used to dream… 
Dream ... dream.. dream
