Maybe tomorrow I’ll make dreams come true
But today I’ll remind myself I’ll make it through
With a strong head on my shoulders
and a pure heart in my chest
I’ll be a cut above the rest
And though my world is getting colder
there’s a fire I defend
that I know will burn right through in the end
I been on the honor roll since first grade
so you know I’m good with tests
But this urban dreamer will confess
These New York streets I learned to walk on
Never taught me how to fly
I had to fall before I could ever hope to realize
Live life because your mom and dad don’t always know what’s best for you
Carve your path, you’re the only who’ll see it through
I wish that the hardest lessons were the ones they taught in school
I won’t let the real world take me for a fool
Susboys we out here, haha, let’s get it
And when my head’s down
Know that I’m dreaming ‘till I’m waking
And my body’s shaking
I may get down on myself
Whenever life gets too hard
But if I made it this far
I know I’ll fight for all my loved ones
They’re the wind beneath my wings
The reason I have songs to sing
And to my kids I’ll have in twelve years
Ima make your mommy proud
Just gotta figure it out
I’ll figure out someday
Figure out a way to bridge the gap
Between where I am and where I know I want to be
Look back now that I can finally see because
I found the strength inside
To see that building something great takes time
And though I might fall today
I know the bruises and scars
Will tell the stories I want to say
And though the times are always changing
One thing will always stay the same
Whatever life is throwing my way
I’ll face it, embracing every day
Because I’ll be okay
And when my head’s down
Know that I’m dreaming ‘till I’m waking
And my body’s shaking
Because in the end I work too damn hard to let this go down
Every single small town
Will hear the story of a dreamer
Just a broke brown boy from Queens
He’ll show the world just what it means
To climb the ranks when they all told him
That it never could be done
They told me to give up
But I’m gonna live the life
Because you only get one
