V.1
Young phenom from the west, still spittin that ill shit/
Outlaw of 89', and I'm still keepin it real bitch/
One of the only, the opposite of phony/
Real Recognize real, so shame on u if u don't know me/
I go by AR, get familiar wit the name/
Cuz ima be the one, one day in the hall of fame/
(Yea) Silencing them cynics, Strikin like a ball of flame/
The best of generation just like LeBron James/
So tell me whats a dream deferred? Man I don't wanna know/
Ain't tryna find out, I just inhale the marijuana smoke/
Persevering thru my fear, tryna give my momma hope/
Knowin deep in my heart, Ima go as far as I wanna go/
And thats a promise yo, to all who ever believed in me/
I know, I know, baby just believe in me/
I'll never let ya down, but will u do the same?/
U can ride or fall off, it's up to you to stay/
Hook:(interlude)
That's right yo
It's up to u
Just remember one thing
life don't stop for nobody
And neither will I
V.2
See ima get it while I can, the one man band/
Puttin on for my whole city and everyone in my fam/
It's time underdogs b winnin, that's why I'm takin a stand/
And Ima do it on my own, Fuck these industry scams!/
Ya can't hustle a hustla, and ya can't trust a busta/
They love to hate, But now look who's on top motherfucka/
And Ima stay there, living for today/
and daily dreamin for tomorrow, spittin ill game/
Now homie tell me do u follow? And to all u hatin bitches/
this some shit that u can swallow, I shed light thru my music/
similar 2 Apollo, from graveyards at McDonalds/
To doin what I do best, my motto still I rise/
That's how I conquer the stress, Writing songs from my soul/
as I smoke and ponder what's next, thinkin how the fuck am I supposed/
to get my momma outta this debt, but I finally see now/
All this time it's been up to me, I was born to wear the Kings crown/
Hook:(interlude)
No doubt man
I got my eyes on the world
And one day it'll all b mine
watch me
Just watch me
V.3
And 2 all u non believers, this tha revenge of a dreamer/
This that lyrical ether that'll, Make ya girl wanna leave ya/
And come holla at me cuz she know I'm comin out ya speakers/
The coolest in the game, certified spittin them heaters/
See Im somethin like a Young hell boy, Motivated/
To make it, raisin hell boy, and just for the love/
Trust I'm brave enough to go all the way there and back to hell for it/
Cuz this my dream, and can't nothin intervene/
Hip hop music is life and, my dedication supreme/
An addict for dope beats plus ima microphone fiend/
Wit goals of doin shows around the world, Livin my life with devotion/
Doin what I love the most, writin rappin and smokin/
Gettin paid for my skills, performin poetry in motion/
Respected in the game as one of the (lyrically) motherfuckin best/
And I don't need no award to know I've reached success/
Cuz I made it to 25, survived where many died/
So if u lookin at me, it ain't hard to c I'm blessed!/
Just check how I'm dressed I got the illest finesse/
Black fitted, bad bitch, plus 50 thousand round my neck/
Yea ima get it, ima get it/
Buy my momma a new crib, and a whip to b specific/
Makin my family proud, tellin em all I finally did it/
Committed to my words, so hell yea ima make it happen/
AR. West doin more, than anyone coulda imagined/
Hook:(interlude)
Yea
Better believe it motherfucka
It's my time now
And I’m just getting started
Check me out
OUTRO:♦️♦️♦️

Everyone who stayed down
Any one who ever had faith in me

To do somethin good for my people
For my original hometown

And now we makin history
Shout out to all the Lost souls
All the thugs

Stay grindin
Sincerely yours
the Dream catcher
