Check it out, 1, 2, hey yo, hey yo

I came a long way since back in the day
From a teenager trying to make a rap in this way
Ever since I was a kid I had something to say
Rocking mics was a dream I didn t care about pay
I sacrificed late nights and going out with my friends
Just to stay home alone with my pad and my pen
Had my eyes on my prize, my mind on my goal
As I carved these rhymes out with my hear and my soul
I didn t have a CD; all I had was a tape
On the dole thru my flow was my only escape
From a world where they didn t wanna see my prevail
Didn t wanna see me take it all
They d rather see me fail

Its like ...

[CHORUS]
I was down and out
Struggling
Wondered how I m gonna make it thru
I got a dream (I got a dream)
Holding old (I m gonna hold on)
I can t let go cos I gotta make it come true

Hey yo
I got a dream to make it big in New York
Give up the drugs and alcohol
I didn t want to distort
My vision to be living life to the full
And I wouldn t of made it if it wasn t for you
You picked me up every time that I fell
When I was going thru hell you told me that I would prevail
You said I had exactly what it took to be great
That I was young and in the future would a man I would make
Its like you saw something in me I couldn t see
You said I would succeed and be anything I wanted to be
I m 23 and I just wanna be me
Wanna be free
Wanna be everything I can be
But I don t have many choices
Can t afford to be wrong
All I do is try to stay true to the words of my song
Just don t hesitate and wait too long
Cos like a dream when you wake up its gone ... its gone

[CHORUS]
I was down and out
Struggling
Wondered how I m gonna make it thru (I had no money in my pockets)
I got a dream (all I had was a pad and a pen)
Holding old (that s all I ever needed)
I can t let go cos I gotta make it come true

Hey yo
It was a sunny day and we were feeling high
Jamming the song underneath the baby blue sky
Thinking bout in the time when we were so poor
Member the kids used to laugh at the clothes we wore
We always knew one day that things were gonna change
And from that day I was never gonna be the same
I went to sleep that night; I dreamt I touched the sky
And ever since I ve been trying to keep my dream alive
So when you see this Scribe, dropping the Ill ed rhyme
To find how I m living mine in this day and time
I m working 9 to 5; I m slaving over beats
Its hard work living the dream I hardly ever sleep
I m in the rhythm deep, Yo just trying to do my thing
Its funny when you shine and people hate to see the gleam
No matter what they say keep on doing what you do
And don t give up cos only you can make that dream come true

Its like...

[CHORUS]
I was down and out (I was way out)
Struggling
Wondered how I m gonna make it thru
I got a dream
Holding old
I can t let go cos I gotta make it come true

I was down and out ...
Wonder how ...
I got a dream ...
I won t let go cos I got ...

I sit and wait for you cause this was never over
I hear the talk in codes
If you want me then come get me
You want me so come get me
I m standing with my allies
Sellin arms to strangers
Watch them shoot ya down

There...

Waiting for another line
Cause you throw them at me all the time
Gotta get away from all her lies
And I gotta get away from mine

Tell me where to go
When fate won t deliver
Cause I can t forgive her
When I let her know
This pain I ve been living
Will her next collision be...

Every MC, in this industry, wants one thing
To be the best, in the top of their game
You want it? Come and get me!

[CHORUS]
Do what you gotta do - come and get me
I came from the struggle; I m bringing...

We said goodbye to a dear old friend
And we packed our bags and left feeling sad
It s the only way
We said hello as we turned the key
A new roof over our heads
Gave a smile
It s the only way
Only way

Turn your head
And don t look back
Set your sails for a new...
