I Like Dreaming Songtext
von Sinical

I like dreamin′
I like
I like dreamin'
Yo, ayo
I like dreamin′

True story, let me take you back to middle school

I used to write raps in class as a little dude
I was scribblin' in my notebook just to pass the time

As I played with words, learned how to craft a rhyme
I would jot my thoughts, crossin' out the awkward lines
Hear the bell ring and I look up like I′m lost in time


See, my teachers didn′t understand the reason for it
Never did my homework, but I'd go home and read a thesaurus
Daydreamin′, I seen that I'm signed to Starter hats
I was in the lunchroom when Janelle asked for my autograph
I was sorta wack but thinkin′ that I'm born to rap
So every night I′d practice in my room until I caught a pass
More than that, I was schemin' on how to earn some cash
Cop a mic and a mixer and then record a track
Huh, for real, those were the days
I used to rap in my mirror like I'm flowin′ on stage

Get a nine-to-five, you ain′t gon' survive in life
(But) I like dreamin′
I'm a writer, let me show you that my rhymes are nice
(′Cause) I like dreamin'
What′s a nine-to-five when you barely survivin' life?
(But) I like dreamin'
I′m a writer, I′ma show you what my rhymes are like
('Cause) I like dreamin′

Back in high school, I started to skip class
Like somethin' didn′t add up, I mean, didn't think the math′s right

I was mad high often in the fall fashion
Discman in my pocket as I'm walkin' through the halls rappin′
I was all that then, or maybe thought I was
About the tenth grade is probably when I caught a buzz
I started sellin′ my tape for like five bucks
I'm makin′ it into cake, I'm rakin′ it piled up
If it's fate, then I′m basin' it 'round luck
I′m takin′ it from the basement and built from the ground up


When I started, it was like an escape
My life in a day, wake up and write for the pain
Went from CDs to streams, you can type in my name
No kids and I'm not married when your wife is the game
Huh, it′s funny how a moment can change
Still I rap in the mirror when I'm goin′ on stage

Get a nine-to-five, you ain't gon′ survive in life
(But) I like dreamin'
I'm a writer, let me show you that my rhymes are nice
(′Cause) I like dreamin′
What's a nine-to-five when you barely survivin′ life?
(But) I like dreamin'
I′m a writer, I'ma show you what my rhymes are like
(′Cause) I like dreamin'

I like dreamin'
I like dreamin′
I like dreamin′
