I Used To Dream by Tommy-G (FFMG) Lyrics
Hook
What do you see? See in me?
God please let me reach my destiny
Let me paint the picture let me set the scene
Once upon a time where I used to dream
I used to dream I used to dream
All the money and the fame but it ain't what it seems
I used to dream I used to dream
In your name yeah I pray don’t let it takeover me
Verse 1
I got everything to lose haven’t really got a lot to gain
Lately I’ve been asking do I really want the fame
I ain't same my mood swings got me shouting at walls
I have goals in my head and I’m doubting them all
I’m from a place where you gotta scream to be heard
They want a hot beat not the truth in your words
I swear the ink is blood and I’m just tryna to spill it
As for the game it’s killing me trying to kill it
Pieces are missing and I can still feel the distance
Between me and my dreams, God please will you listen
To my prayers to my thoughts I am scared I am lost
I wanna be unforgettable but it's you who I forgot
Hook
What do you see? See in me?
God please let me reach my destiny
Let me paint the picture let me set the scene
Once upon a time where I used to dream
I used to dream I used to dream
All the money and the fame but it ain't what it seems
I used to dream I used to dream
In your name yeah I pray don’t let it takeover me
Verse 2
This everything you wanted now you wanna opt out
Cause you met everything that I warned you about
You have a mouth but don’t go touting it now
You had dream bro don’t go doubting it now
You done me your fam your whole town proud
Now you gonna perform in front of a hometown crowd
Got a crowd of full fans just chanting your name
Standing there stunned in a trance on the stage
I don’t deserve this boy don’t I know
Dancing with the devil doing Cotton-Eye Joe
Caught up in a game and only God Knows
That I’m the only one who could make it out on my own
But right now man I feel like a borderline joke
At lost for words you swear that I choked
And I proclaim myself as the king of these flows
Would I sell my soul just to sell out shows? Nope
Hook
What do you see? See in me?
God please let me reach my destiny
Let me paint the picture let me set the scene
Once upon a time where I used to dream
I used to dream I used to dream
All the money and the fame but it ain't what it seems
I used to dream I used to dream
In your name yeah I pray don’t let it takeover me
Verse 3
I had it and lost it
This has happened too often
Note my failure to comment
Put the nail in my coffin
My heartbeat slows and I froze in the mirror
I look into my soul and I see the darkness appearing
Now its time to fight back or face facts you losing the battle
The invasion is coming you defend your kingdom and castle
To be free the Tommy G that you used to see
I gotta go back through these raps to when I used to dream
Post Hook
I used to dream I used to dream
Yeah I changed guess it was nice knowing me
I used to dream, I used to dream
God please don’t let the devil get a hold of me
What do you see? See in me?
God please let me reach my destiny
Let me paint the picture let me set the scene
Once upon a time where I used to dream
I used to dream I used to dream
All the money and the fame but it ain't what it seems
I used to dream I used to dream
In your name yeah I pray don’t let it takeover me
