Dreams to Reality by SC Static Lyrics
(Verse 1)
All's I knew was that rappin' involved a pen and a pad
I tried to write but couldn't and I caught myself in a trap
But I would do anything it would cost to get on a track
So I studied some lyricists and taught myself how to rap
Back then seeing me without headphones was a rare find
Memorizing lyrics to my songs on my spare time
I would focus when I was about to practice a verse
Look in the mirror and try to get my mouth to match with the words
Because we all wanted to rap but we had to be fans then first
I didn't know any better was rappin' and saying "N" words
Changing the way I dressed wearing baggier pants and shirts
Lip sinking in the mirror and practicing hand gestures
I was stuck inside my room and everyday I was dreaming
I had to use my imagination creating and scheming
My bed turned into a stage the lamp was raying and gleaming
Drawers turned to rows and shelves turned into stadium seating
It was nothing new cause I've been rappin' since I was bottle fed
I would set up an audience with action figures and bobble heads
I pretended that I had the dopest flow and the tightest poems
Was using a TV remote control as a microphone
Cause life can be painful, stressful, and often abusive
So I'd forget about everything and get lost in the music
But I'm not a kid anymore and I'm feigning a salary
It's time to stop imagining and make my dreams a reality
(Chorus)
Cause I've always had a fantasy of rappin' a masterpiece
And performing in arenas that are packed to capacity
Having control of the crowd with fans standing up out their seats
With my name on banners hanging over railings and balconies
Cause I have a strong commitment and devotion to rap
That's why I give my full attention when approaching a track
And when performing live I'll make sure that my flow is intact
Regardless if I'm head lining or the opening act
(Verse 2)
I used to be the whackest and lamest and last on your play list
But now they say my tracks are the greatest and Static's their favorite
I went back to the basics now they say my raps are contagious
Because I went from rappin' in basements to actual stages
Went from a faggot and brainless to a savage and dangerous
I went from havin' passive exchanges to smackin' in faces
Now I'll go from pull out couches to relaxin' in Vegas
And from being average and nameless to established and famous
Yeah, all across the nation they're adoring the sound
And I'm receiving kudos even when I tour outta town
They're more then just loud, their screams rattle the floor and the ground
And as they introduce me you can hear the roar of the crowd
I've gone over all my lines and I've recited my verses
Looking ahead the only thing that's in my sight is the curtains
As I peak out to the stage I see the lights in the circuits
Back and forth I'm pacing feeling more excited then nervous
I intend to be the best and Imma strive to become it
As I grasp the mic mixed emotions arrive in abundance
Imma thrive under pressure while other guys gonna plummet
And as the curtain draws I'm feeling butterflies in my stomach
I finally take my first step onto the biggest of stages
The stress is gone, the pressure's off, I'm spittin' lyrical statements
A swarm of people's all I see no individual faces
The marijuana in the air creates a visible fragrance
Yeah, Static went on another rampage in the booth again
Just another hit song and jam raisin' the roof again
I look out into the crowd at fans blazin' and boozin' gin
I see heads noddin' and hands waivin' in unison
Cause my live shows have a tendency to be loud
Especially when I'm feeding off the energy of the crowd
If you're a real fan then this is one show you should go see
Every seat is taken from the front row to the nosebleeds
(Chorus)
Cause I've always had a fantasy of rappin' a masterpiece
And performing in arenas that are packed to capacity
Having control of the crowd with fans standing up out their seats
With my name on banners hanging over railings and balconies
Cause I have a strong commitment and devotion to rap
That's why I give my full attention when approaching a track
And when performing live I'll make sure that my flow is intact
Regardless if I'm head lining or the opening act
