"[Beef] As long as you keep dreaming, you can do whatever you want. You ain't gotta wake up. Boy who was 13, daddy used to beat his ass No wonder mother kissed him more than his brothers Family went southern as he turned to the street And he never had money, so he's slanging, holding heat And now he's 16, robbing houses, joining GD Begging god for some relief, screaming out please But he'd fallen to his knees, alcoholic and depressed Seen gangs, needles, lies, so he tried to force death But then he woke up, realized he was alive Before 21, attempted suicide Been to jail more times than ever on vacation Stood up, now it's time for fucking changes Always had his pad and pen, must've wrote 1,000 pages Never stopped flowing, cause they liked what he was saying Now they play him on the radio, everybody say they know him Climbing charts, finding family, grinding, waiting for the Grammy [Both] Wake up I'm stuck in a dream Wake up Where everything seems to come and go my way The world is mine today I don't wanna wake up I don't wanna wake up I don't wanna wake up I ain't gotta worry about the pain no more I don't wanna wake up [Beef] Started at 14, idolized his brother Who fucked and left the girls but never used a cover Another day, another chicken, just to be the shit But then one sunny summer afternoon, the chicken had a chick And the boy from the burbs never knew life was a bitch Parents kicked him to the curb He crashed their only car into the ditch Said it slipped but they knew that he was lit Cause he took to popping pills after out popped a kid Police strapped him down in a hospital for 3 days Nobody by his side, baby momma ran away 16, 5 jobs, just so he could pay But he knew what to do as the tears rolled down his face Grades straight A's, cause his aim was always school Using knowledge as a tool to get a scholarship to college Then he got it, and the father took impoverished to passion And the fools who used to laugh, looking down as they pass him [Both] Wake up I'm stuck in a dream Wake up Where everything seems to come and go my way The world is mine today I don't wanna wake up I don't wanna wake up I don't wanna wake up I ain't gotta worry about the pain no more I don't wanna wake up [Quincy] I don't wanna wake up I don't wanna wake up And a dream's alright with me So you should just let sleep all night and day The world is mine today I don't wanna wake up [Beef] Homeschooled since birth, born to be a loner Bad like Bart but he never had a Homer In the county jail, ma say he a goner While his sick little sister swallow pills big as Jonah Now he getting grown, only doing what he know Weeding in the spring, winter moving snow plows Crew split in half, started stealing from his own Now it's something like a fight club in the basement of his home Counterfeit bills in a coke transaction Never thought he see a day both vans went packing Knuckles to the face, 2 22's to the waste 17 died paralyzed running from his face See, nobody is invincible, no matter what the principle Muscle, or the hustle, struggle, church, or if you missable Cell or a hearse, is what they wanted in the first And unless you wake up soon You gon lie victim of the curse too [Both] Wake up I'm stuck in a dream Wake up Where everything seems to come and go my way The world is mine today I don't wanna wake up"
