lyrics

I know we've all got dreams,
but some of them go to waste,
and yet I'm bursting at the seams,
but the future ain't a race, see,

I can taste it, you can't erase it,
I gotta face it, my dreams are based in,
a reality I haven't encountered yet,
all I can see, is try hard as an epithet,

Its a better bet, to keep your goals ahead,
or get a big head, fail to finish, and then you drop dead,
but when you're laid to bed, remember your potential,
its what makes you you, for humanity, essential,

Especially for artists who are starving on the streets,
Its just so easy, to give up, and call it defeat,
but with a beat in our head, and a pen in our hand,
Let me give you my hand, I understand



I can see my dreams so perfectly,
A future, where the master of me is me,
And yet I find it so hard, to believe,
Cause plans often turn out differently,

But that don't mean that imma be stagnant,
I'm a tidal wave, ain't no way that I be laggin,
I'm sorta like the hiphop frodo baggins,
I finish my quest, despite the trouble I'm attracting,

You say I've got delusions of grandeur,
But I can't just be another one of the gander,
So just come and take a gander,
I promise what you'll see will be grander,

So if you would, listen closely,
Cause I'm not often into boasting,
But in the future when it's me you're toasting,
Just remember that I haven't been coasting



We fight, we fight,
we dream, we dream,
we push, we push,
we scheme, we scheme,
to reach that above,
above,

So let this be the message,
we are the 99,
and let this be the message,
we're sick of working 9 to 5,
and let this be the message,
we'll scream, until the world hears our cry,
and let this be the message,
we'll do it, until we die
