Lyrics

this is for the kids that want to make it to the top but the people that surround them tell them that they're gonna fall, you need to follow your heart instead of falling apart, i know what it's like to feel down, i've been where you at, but i'm here now, life's a struggle, older you get, more things to juggle, the whole time you trying to find where you fit into the puzzle, but you get stronger because of it, don't worry about the other shit, find what you want to do then do it for the love of it, have patience, don't worry if people say shit, 'cause they come back around like "hey, this is great shit!", you're thinking to yourself, "that's what i've been trying to tell you", but careful 'cause they secretly want you to be a failure, but be nice when they're on the bandwagon like "hell yeah i got another cd to sell ya", you get it?, you can't bring me, you can't bring me down, follow, follow my dream, follow my dream, follow, you can't bring me, you can't bring me down, follow, follow my dream, follow my dream, follow, i was working at subway thinking to myself that i got to make it someday, i just finished being homeless, my grandma took me in, having problems with the family and not too many friends, my girlfriend who just broke my heart, yeah the same one, no money, no car, man this ain't fun, but i was writing everyday, freestyling at the bus stop, my life's a joke and this must stop, broke as shit, how can i hope to get everyone open with my raps, i was focusing, i knew i had something, but no finances, starting selling weed, man, i'll take my chances, i had to make them rounds, flip them pounds, competition got big, i had to rip them down, or at least bring them down a couple pegs, if you don't come and work for me i'ma break your fucking legs!, scare tactics, but a couple of times where i had to crack kids and make them less attractive, follow, follow my dream, follow my dream, follow, you can't bring me, you can't take me down, follow, follow my dream, follow my dream, follow, now everybody wants to be my friend, while they hate my fucking guts, at least they don't pretend, i like that, there's nothing fake with my rapping, man, i'm talking 'bout making it happen, it's all about following your dream and sticking with it, the girl you couldn't get before, now you can hit it, become the person that you want to be, it's beautiful, don't have to be a pretty boy just to get the pretty girl, i'm okay looking but i'm not that cute, now they're throwing pussy at me 'cause i got that loot, plus it doesn't hurt to have your face pop up on the television, i got the secret to success, okay i'll tell you, listen, you've got to make a five year plan, you can make that shit happen in five years man, you can't expect nothing to happen overnight, overnight success? i've been rapping half my life, now take a real good, i mean a close look at me hard, if i can do it, you can do it, i'm a fucking retard, follow, follow my dream, follow my dream, follow, you can't bring me, you can't take me down, follow, follow my dream, follow my dream, follow
