Verse 1: Yo Sometimes I wonder what's my purpose in living Can't see the future but I wish that God would send me a vision Got all these paths I could take but don't wanna follow tradition I'm feeling stuck but I guess I better play my position Starting to wonder: is being a rapper really my mission? Or is it more of a hobby? I just can't make the decision Then I remember: to be crowned the greatest is my ambition And I ain't gonna stop spittin' till I got my recognition Verse 2: But who am I? I'm just a white boy from the suburbs Who had a nice upbringing and didn't come from the gutters Most people probably thinking "He ain't a rapper for real" Maybe they right, cuz I don't fit the stereotypical bill Of what a rapper is, but for me that's ideal Cuz being generic to me, man, that shit just don't appeal You pay attention to my words and you can hear that they real I speak the truth I know the people can feel Verse 3: So anybody wanna test my authenticity, bring it These little rappers wanna be me but they can't so they wing it But they fresh out of luck, cuz with the skills I exhibit I make em' realize that they don't got this shit in their spirit I'm on my way to the top, on a first class ticket And any challenge I face, I'm gonna break past my limits If any other rapper wants to battle me I dismiss it If you ain't close to my level then you should know you won't win it Deliver punchlines like Bruce Lee, you know that I kick it Get a taste of my wordplay you gon' feel like you been hit Mumble rappers in my way I make em jump out the window Thought you was king but I make you go from hero to zero My rhymes are sick, giving all these other rappers the symptoms Leave you thinking you don't really wanna battle with him though Still a young'un so you know my reputation, it will grow I'm only just getting started, this was only the intro Damn

Verse 1: Staring at the poster of the G.O.A.T.s on my wall Hoping one day Im'ma be remembered just like 'em all Writing lyrics thinking that I'm like Nas in '94 When I'm really just a kid inside a room that's so small But I can't stay on the straight and narrow path anymore When there's all these other options out there I can explore One day I'm gonna break out, and with the greats I'll stand tall All I want is respect, nothing less, nothing more Hook 1: That's my dream That's my dream That's my dream That's my dream Verse 2: I'm like a doctor, treat the beat like it's an operation Use these words like a teacher to further education I wanna be known as the voice of a generation So that kids in every nation can take the things I'm sayin' And use it to lift themselves from their situation Rippin' tracks with such precision, killin' beats with no hesitation To be the greatest MC no matter your location Man, I just wanna be included in that conversation Hook 2: That's my dream That's my dream That's my dream That's my dream Verse 3: I ain't rapping for the money or the fame Or the honeys, but I rap for the acclaim and to elevate the game I rap so you can recognize my name I take aim at these wack rappers and blow them out their frame Cuz me and them we just ain't the same I make 'em feel shame when I spit these hot flames You can't compete with this greatness, you a lame Because you know that it's a spot at the top that I've come to claim Hook 3: That's my dream That's my dream That's my dream That's my dream

Verse 1: The year was 2013 That's when I first saw him on my TV screen Blonde hair, dark shades, suit so clean When he spoke, he was like a machine At the time it was like nothing else I'd ever seen His name was Eminem, from that day I was a fan of him I used to rap his songs to give myself adrenaline To me, he was the greatest, there was simply no comparison No ordinary man, he seemed to be his own specimen Thanks to him, I discovered hip-hop OutKast and Jay-Z I used to listen non-stop Heard Shook Ones by Mobb Deep, first time I saw 8 Mile Fell down a rabbit hole from which I never crawled out Wu-Tang and Illmatic became the soundtrack to my life And when I wanted to chill I'd quest with Q-Tip and Phife Premier taught me to appreciate the beat a lot more And Guru always had some words of wisdom for me in store Discovered DOOM, at least I thought I did, but little did I know I'd already heard his voice when I was five years old On the Gorillaz CD, I had no clue who he was The revelation was insane, it's funny because Looking back, I would have never thought of this back then But now I'd gladly place MF DOOM inside my top ten But back then, I refused to give new rappers a chance Thought they all was the same, only after the bands Even Kendrick, I never thought that he'd be the one Thought that Bitch Dont Kill My Vibe was just another trap song But when I heard Joey Bad, it really opened my eyes A younger rapper trynna keep the 90s spirit alive Then Kendrick won all the Grammys, with To Pimp A Butterfly I gave the album a chance and that shit blew my mind Finally learned not to write a rapper off cuz they're new And how to seperate the Uzi's from the Schoolboy Q's When I was sixteen thats when I first picked up the pen Started to write my own verses and showed them off to a friend He was a rapper so he used to coach me on my writing And from then on my dream of being a rapper was ignited It's been four years and all this time that dream has been burning Spending every day writing, on my craft I've been working Now it's finally time to show you what I'm about Gonna be one of the greatest, not just a rapper for clout Because I studied the legends, did all this shit on my own You best believe that when I come through that I've come for the throne You wanna stand in my way? I'll leave your name unknown You couldn't hope to compete with all the flows that I've shown Can't you mother fuckers see? That I'm in my zone Should know nobody can stop me, especially not a clone These rappers stereotypes, of all the trends that should stop Not even real rappers, the music they be making is pop Their little gimmick only lasts for so long then they flop After that, nobody gonna wanna hear what they drop I'm on a path that's gonna take me all the way to the top Cuz I got love and respect for my culture called Hip-Hop

Verse 1: Yeah I used to sit outside at night and stare up in to the sky And watch the plane lights overhead just passing me by And wonder where the people going that be flying so high Hoping that one day through the clouds I could fly Now that I'm older that idea seems closer at hand Sitting high above the ground staring down at dry land Knowing all the while this is how my life had been planned I always dreamed of living a life that's so grand, hop on a flight to Japan Chilling in Tokyo and then it's on to Seoul Up in my plane, don't worry about what's going on down below Traverse the globe, get the dough, doing shows from coast to coast Kick a flow for all my bros, like a pro I'm in control Then take it home, back to Jo-burg Get picked up by my chauffeur Drive around my city, feeling like I rule the whole Earth Thinkin bout spending all the money that I don't earn Wishing all of these events would actually occur Hook 1: I wanna go to Berlin, or maybe Paris How about Rio?
