This that like back when you's a kid shit
You know, when you actually had fuckin' posters on the wall and shit
There was heroes and shit out here, dog
There ain't no more
I was tryna mimic moves from Michael Jackson's "Thriller"
I thought I was Curtis Jackson while I was rappin' in the mirror
I felt like I had a chance when I discovered Mac Miller
My visions are sublime, where I'm goin' concreted
This the image that these people been needin'
The only nightmare that I got is one of people not dreamin'
This the image these people been needin'
Only nightmare that I got is one of people not dreamin'
I can't be friends with rappers who don't keep their word
I can't keep up the actin', that's the scenes that I always cut
It seems they livin' in a movie that not even they love
Don't mix up authenticity with the high art of buzz
All my idols old legends and they six feet in the dirt
And I watched all their mistakes, their lyrics told me to turn
So, I bust a left, mash the gas and kept goin'
The poster on my wall made me believe when my belief was none
And I heard "Window Shopper" when I was twelve years old
Watchin' my parents fightin', mama's Mastercard not work
This dysfunction so beautiful when the instrumental come on
Picture a poster with me on it and some kids takin' 'em home
I was tryna mimic moves from Michael Jackson's "Thriller"
I thought I was Curtis Jackson while I was rappin' in the mirror
I felt like I had a chance when I discovered Mac Miller
My visions are sublime, where I'm goin' concreted
This the image that these people been needin'
The only nightmare that I got is one of people not dreamin'
This the image these people been needin'
Only nightmare that I got is one of people not dreamin'
My rap idol told me "Get rich or die tryin'''
I got rich and didn't die, too much money gave me a higher mind
Money can do everything but real needs you can't buy
Like havin' folks around you without goin' Insta live
Hip-Hop ain't dead it's just the context inside
If context be a heart, they got some stints to stay alive
And I ain't heard a love song in over a decade that's beyond me
But I cry tears now when I hear "What's Luv" by Fat Joe and Ashanti
Ass too good, where we at too problematic
People forgot how to dream, and they became some fame addicts
I can't overlook it, to me it's the definition tragic
The world needin' some magic but they outlawin' the practice, yeah
I was tryna mimic moves from Michael Jackson's "Thriller"
I thought I was Curtis Jackson while I was rappin' in the mirror
I felt like I had a chance when I discovered Mac Miller
My visions are sublime, where I'm goin' concreted
The the image that these people been needin'
The only nightmare that I got is one of people not dreamin'
This the image that people been needin'
Only nightmare that I got is one of people not dreamin'
