Dreamin - L.A. Symphony

It’s style out of control, out of the hands that shape the mold

It’s now dwelling in that place where the stories all get old

And the realness never told, too much money’s in the fold

Emcees selling out their soul for a record to get sold

Ain’t it funny how these things always seem to go around

It’s like a virus or a plague that keeps messing up the sound

Fools be talking major trash but in your face they want to pound

Scared to go around without a bodyguard surround

So you sold it all for nothing while we ask you, «Where's the substance?»

Too much empty talk, fake emcees come in abundance

Don’t you hate all that redundance, it’s quite laughable today

It’s quite approble to say, «Hope it dies and goes away»

You can look up to the clouds, you can look into the sky

You can ask the reason why, but it’s Him we can’t deny

Let the music take control and may it see a brighter day

While we raise it to the stars, letting God show us the way

You’re dreaming, you’re really not that type

You can’t rock a crowd, you can’t rock the mic

You’re dreaming, come back to earth

You think you got a lot, but what’s it really worth

You’re dreaming, stuck on cloud nine

You need to face reality, you really can’t rhyme

You’re dreaming, you think you’re so fresh

But haven’t done a show, haven’t sold yet

You say you’re going to come up and that it’s your time to shine

But I hear nothing from you, a waste of time

A waste of breath at the pace of a next lifetime

It’s safe to have said you’ve straddled a fine line

A complete failure, claiming genius to a fool

But your efforts are nothing more than levels of grade school

Still live with your mom and she makes you lunch and dinner

Pats you on the back and says you’re gonna be a winner

But you’ve nothing to claim, merit in this rap game

I mention your name and they all say that you’re lame

Wacker than wack, you make and optimist complain

It’s sadder than sad, I would have blown out my brains

I guess you’re cool with it, you just chill with a Coke

Hating on Rap City, saying that you’re way more dope

Once you get a record deal and it falls into your lap

But dude get real, it don’t go down like that

You’re dreaming, you’re really not that type

You can’t rock a crowd, you can’t rock the mic

You’re dreaming, come back to earth

You think you got a lot, but what’s it really worth

You’re dreaming, stuck on cloud nine

You need to face reality, you really can’t rhyme

You’re dreaming, you think you’re so fresh

But haven’t done a show, haven’t sold yet

Dream on, it’s time to wake up from the Matrix

Your debates are faithless, time to get back to the basics

Face the fact that you’re tasteless, tattered and tired

Come on, you’re not admired, your late pass has expired

And I’m the hall monitor, send you to the office

My off the top of the head is better than your whole synopsis

To sum it up, even though you’re coming up

Whether you’re bad or running rough, the aftermath will run it up

To let you know that Biggie Smalls called, he wants his style back

I liked your album better when it was called «Ready to Die» mac

Come on player, quit listening to Big Pimpin'

Quit listening to your homeboys when they tell you, man, it’s hitting

Manifest some writtens that go beyond average description

Go beyond cash, cars, and women, to a road that’s not so driven

And given the fact that I’ve now painted the scenario

You and your tribe should hit that Quest for a better flow

You’re dreaming, you’re really not that type

You can’t rock a crowd, you can’t rock the mic

You’re dreaming, come back to earth

You think you got a lot, but what’s it really worth

You’re dreaming, stuck on cloud nine

You need to face reality, you really can’t rhyme

You’re dreaming, you think you’re so fresh

But haven’t done a show, haven’t sold yet

(And all that gibberish you were spittin' you need to kill it)

(Believe me son) (My advice, quit talking, it’s over)

('Cause your style is like dying in my sleep, I don’t feel it)
