[Trip Lee, Courtney Orlando, Sho Baraka - New Dreams lyrics]
I was told that living the good life
Meant getting everything I could but I've
Been shown a brand new picture of
The good life and it's glorious
Hey I was raised in that lone-star state
Where we go hard, can't do it small at all
Cause big things are at stake
My dreams as a buck was to make a large bank
Daddy told me the best
No one can tell me I can't
Be the best baller, or be the best rapper
Got a little older and went after the latter
Grind till' I shine trying
To climb that ladder
Grab a couple girls cause
Your boy look dapper
At a young age, I saw I had it wrong
Full of drive
But moving in reverse all along
Dreams full of pride, heart full of stone
You know I had to redefine what I grind on
Success is dangerous
If you don't do it right
He gave us everything for
Pointing to Him right so toast to the King
Who gave me some new dreams
Everything for his name
That's how I do things
Never knew how lost I was till' I found God
Then I couldn't hear His voice
It was drowned out
I was just chasing things, selfish dreams
Now I see what he has for me
It's the good life
Uh-Huh, I grew up with those
Dodgers and those angels
Where wings get mangled and they
Rock a broken halo
Success is an idol from Hollywood to Diego
No Hablo, if you don't speak with the pesos
And there favorite dollar sign is
Too much more green
More lust, more taste, more touch
I had an appetite that ate
From the Devil's power
At every bite to see the rise
I'm kissing my life goodbye
If I find I have a
Need this world cannot meet
Then I know this life is a place
Where my hope should not be
I've been chasing those things
That are real fake this is not a real place
This is a dream state
Functional saviors ain't hip
They're a real waste
What's the palace going to offer
That a manager can't
Pain, sorrow, and empty treasures
Spite the creator
And deem creation simply better
The world offers a lot of
Things but it's really lying
And to the Lord
The good life is really dying
I'm the Lord's possession so my
Heart's in the Heavens
True Religion in my jeans and stop guessing
Even the sun goes down, heroes die eventually
Great careers end in the industry
Empires implode, you may go down in history
But everything will go down eventually
Look, you could stack bread
But, you can't stop death
And there won't be any comfort
Offered you in that bed
All get laid out, the games get played out
In a maze headed to the grave
And there is no way out
You can't outlast life it fades out fast
Death is coming for us all
Everything gon' pass
So look at it from that angle dag
My dreams gotta' be bigger
And greater than that
How is it persecuted martyrs in Asia
Were living out there dreams
Though they was walking in danger
Their dreams are what lifted up
The heart of the Savior
And living in a way to show
That's what they wait for
They wasn't stackin' up the cake
But was walking in favor
Living a good life because they
Want with the maker my dreams are different
You know that I've been changed now
The good life is the life
That's been laid down
Meant getting everything I could but I've
Been shown a brand new picture of
The good life and it's glorious
Hey I was raised in that lone-star state
Where we go hard, can't do it small at all
Cause big things are at stake
My dreams as a buck was to make a large bank
Daddy told me the best
No one can tell me I can't
Be the best baller, or be the best rapper
Got a little older and went after the latter
