Dreams Turned Nightmares by Antwon Vinnie Lyrics
[Intro]
Nous sommes réunis ici aujourd'hui
Pour pleurer la mort d'un rêve
Le rêve d'un jeune adulte qui n'a jamais trouvé son chemin
C'est dommage
Aucun rêve ne devrait vivre sans vie
Mais, comme il est avec nous tous
La fin d'une époque
Est inévitable
[Verse]
Feel Like I’m never gonna make it
I put my soul into these raps but everyone forsake it
For heavens sakes do I gotta fake it till I make it
Crack a smile even though I’m sad but still can’t escape it
I Wanna obtain it and take that shit in just like a vape hit
I used to see myself in this time making my eighth hit
I used too feel that life was pure but now it’s tainted
I wish that we could say goodbye to all these struggles we’ve acquainted
That bury our dreams six feet under
Cause I’m so caught up in this blunder
I used to hear the birds but now all I hear is thunder
My hunger for the words to blow me up just makes me wonder
That maybe it’s not meant to be
Cause life’s been throwing undodgable obstacles in my vicinity
I never realized what this meant to me
I’ll die trying until they bury me next to my symmetry
But lately I don't have the energy
This damn disease has got me feeling kinda elderly
They used to tell me life’s not fair, but that shit cruel and savage
Spent my school years so depressed
To find out that my brain is damaged
Living far below the average
Hardly lavish but somehow I manage up some cabbage
It reeks havoc on my neurons and makes me manic
I panic I can’t stand it cause it feels like Im sinking like the Titanic
Floating alone in open water as deep as the Atlantic
One of my many organic fears I’ve acquired over the years
Luck's to poker just like life is to tears
Cause it’s not because those born deaf didn’t have ears that they couldn’t hear
It just the hand that they were dealt
It’s all well and good when it don’t happen to yourself right?
You’ll get lost in obscurity if you don’t put up a fight
You’ll blend into the darkness if you don’t radiate light
You’ll be lonely forever if you don’t make people bright
Despite the truth for long enough your ass will soon feel the bite
Despite my fight for might I might ignite
I can’t unite the words I write
With ears alike because I’m white I feel contrite most every night
For what? For Being different
Feeling guilty about not fitting in cause I was too persistent
In chasing all of these wild dreams to fulfill my whole existence
But the instant I’m older I have to leave em in the distance!?
I was gifted with a passion to reach for the sky
Now I’m lifted so high that if I fall I may die
That I may die
Yeah
One day you gon' die
One day gon' die
And look back ask, why?
Did I let my dreams die before me?
