Dreams worth more than money

At age 17 I didnt know where to start

High school was ending and the beginning of college was not that far

I didnt have clue of what dreams to pursue

But I wise woman told me 'always follow your heart'

So I took the sports route because frankly thats where it had start

Now college is here but my dream is still much farther

 The distance is closer and I promised myself I would finish

So bring on the envy, the doubt, and the hate its only going to make me stronger

Im not dribbing  ball Im in class learning how to negotiate a contract

Im going to build a Sports Academy for inner city children

And give them the opportunities they mostly end up missing

I dream of happiness and sharing it with everyone thats will accept it

Keep your debit and cash I dont even want the credit

Dreams are priceless
