Text: Chiddy Bang. The Swelly Express. Silver Screen.
All your life, dreamed a dream.
Somehow connected with a silver screen.
All your life, dreamed a dream.
Somehow connected with a silver screen.
And yea, I'm back on the scene.
Makin' it with a dream, them haters they gonna scheme like.
Silver screens, that's all I ever dreamt of.
And the day I lose, that'll be the end of...
My journey, trying to focus on ambition cause other's successes do not concern me.
But still I Mac like Bernie.
I'm in the brackets, they said we could win a tourney.
Now I'm drowning in the page.
They don't understand me, they say I'm hard to gauge.
Still blowin' up, take the pin off the grenade.
You're frivolous, I'm Nicolas, rather me in the cage.
Never, these rappers gonna stay in trouble.
Get the US Open, like we playing doubles.
Hustle for the prettiest green.
Make sure you're wide awake in the city of dreams.
[Hook:]
All your life, dreamed a dream.
Somehow connected with a silver screen.
All your life, dreamed a dream.
Somehow connected with a silver screen.
And this is my soundtrack.
Taking off, no plane, you can't ground that.
I'm high grade, like smokers that don't do regs.
Life's a movie, better hope it ain't a bootleg.
Stay focused, don't make up a role.
Responsibility, you gotta feed the fish in the bowl.
Play it humble, really though I seem brash.
Don't I take the people back like a Dreamcast?
Play the role, get the scene cast.
And tomorrow's always brighter with the green hash.
And I'm twenty below.
Could make it to the awards with some strummy from Joe.
They feel it, but can't repeat it, so they hummin' the flow.
I'm up-tempo, might as well be drummin' the show.
Ain't I blazing it right.
Think you Swift, well I'm Yeezy cause I'm takin' the mic, yea!
