What Seems to Be - Dream Job Slam


I go to class every day in seek of more knowledge,

deeper into debt each year I stay in college.

I have to study and use all my logic,

but have warm dreams of living in the tropics.

a dream job is an interesting topic,

having all the money i'll need in my front pocket.

guess i'll put that dream in a balloon til somebody tries to pop it,

that's why i keep dreaming hoping nobody can stop it.

i have a dream of working with great musicians,

but writing raps is my life's mission.

i know dreams are seperate from reality for a good reason,

but that doesn't mean i shouldnt try to keep em.

i want to write songs with amazing lyrics,

hoping one day the whole world will hear it.

sometimes it feels so far and some times i feel near it,

sometimes i wish i could take my head and clear it.

i want to make money not go into debt,

wish Warren Buffet would cut me a check.

this is complete madness like the month of March,

im in a constant drought like Noah's Arc.

this music to me is like art,

but why does making a living off it gotta be so hard?

Writing songs and making music is a dream to me,

but sometimes dreams aren't always what they seem to be.
