Lyrics Dream Life (Live) - TEF XL

One thing that I learned for sure
That ahh, anything you do in life, you got to do with purpose
So, you know, just being candid with you as a hustler
I always had a focus and a goal
To do better and better
And so that focus was based on dreams
I was going to have these things
And so I did what was necessary to acquire those things
And then when you acquire those things
You find out, honestly, that there's other things you can do in life
So this joint is called Dream Life
And it's about the dreams that I had, and I continue to have as I grow
Check it

Wake up early in the morning, hardly sleep, money calling me
Talk cheap, I want the dreams I see
Car doors, when they open, I can step out, chic
Turn and grab my lady's hand, walk through crowds like, damn
Wake up early in the morning, hardly sleep, money calling me
Talk cheap, I want them front row seats
Nothing between barricades and performers on the stage
So much life to me to see, time for me to get paid

When hard pressed, under stress, we all killers
Step in this like Thriller, King Kong, Godzilla
Hard wire, beat my chest spit fire, nothing less
Talk life, stress, and other, I forget
When my music at it's best, I paint pictures, fully dressed
About the streets and runs with death
Bulletproof, call me TEF
Even though that behind me, all my demons still find me
That's why I walked into this, airing out my dirty laundry
Can't get this far and be this raw without the grimy
Had to sift through all the bull so you could find me
Superstar, I'm here to stack my figures
Recoup the dollars that I spent and leave with multimillions
But this just the beginning, talking in feelings
About the way I move, way I choose, the life that I'm living
Had to stack up on my triggers, all this talk about killing
Young on speed dial, you wanna talk about drilling

Wake up early in the morning, hardly sleep, money calling me
Talk cheap, I want the dreams I see
Car doors, when they open, I can step out, chic
Turn and grab my lady's hand, walk through crowds like, damn
Wake up early in the morning, hardly sleep, money calling me
Talk cheap, I want them front row seats
Nothing between barricades and performers on the stage
So much life for me to see, time for me to get paid

Yes, sir
Early in the morning, hardly sleep, money calling me
Uh, Once again, from the Code Switch Vol. 2 album, Life Lessons
Calling me, calling me, uh
Yes, sir
Early in the morning, hardly sleep, money calling me
Yeah
Whoa
Calling me, calling me
Sound perfect
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
