Trip Lee - New Dreams (feat. Sho Baraka & J.R.) Lyrics

[Featuring: J.R. & Sho Baraka]I was taught that living the good life meant getting everything I couldBut I've been shown a brand new picture of the good life, and it's gloriousAye I was raised in that lone star state where we go hardCan't do it small at all, 'cause big things our stateMy dreams as a buck was to make a large bankDaddy told me be the best, no one can tell me I can'tBe the best baller, or be the best rapperGot a little older, and went after the latterGrind until I shine, trying to climb that ladderGrab a couple girls, 'cause your boy looked dapperBut at a young age, saw that I had it wrongFull of drive, but moving in reverse all alongDreams full of pride, heart full of stoneYou know I had to redefine what I grind onSiccess is dangerous if you don't do it rightHe gave us everything for pointing to him rightSo toast to the king who gaveme some new dreamsEverything for his name, that's how I do thingsNever knew how lost I was 'till I found outThat I couldn't hear his voice, it was drowned outI was chasing things, selfish dreamsNow I see what he has for meIt's the good life(Wake up!) I grew up with those doctrines and those angelsWhen wings get mangled and they rock a broken haloSuccess is an idol from Hollywood to DiegoNo hablo if you don't speak with the pesosAnd their favorite dollar sign is too muchMore greed, more lust, more taste, more touchI had an appetite that ate from the devil's powerWith every bite 'cause he would riseI'm kissing my life goodbyeIf I find I have a need this world cannot meetThen I know this life is a place where my hope should not beI've been chasing those things that are real fakeThis is not a real place, this is a dream stateFunctional saviors ain't hip, their a real wasteWhat's the palace going off of without a major kingPain, sorrow, and empty treasuresSpite the creator and deem creation simply betterThe ward off is a lot of things, but it's really lyingAnd to the Lord, the good life is really dyingI'm the Lord's procession, so my heart's in the heavens'True religion in my jeans, now stop guessingNever knew how lost I was 'till I found outThat I couldn't hear his voice, it was drowned outI was chasing things, selfish dreamsNow I see what he has for meIt's the good lifeEven the sun goes down, heroes die eventuallyGreat careers end in the industryEmpires implode; you may go down in historyBut everything will go down eventuallyLook, you can stack bread, but you can't stop deathAnd there will be no comforter for you in that bedWe all get laid out, the games get played outIn a maze headed to the grave, and there's no way outYou can't outlast life, it fades out fastDeath is coming for us all, everything's gonna passSo look at it from that angle downMy dreams gotta be bigger and greater than thatI was with the persecuted martyrs in AsiaWere living out their dreams, though they was walking in dangerTheir dreams were lifting up the heart of the saviorAnd living in a way that shows that he's all that they wait forOne's stacking up the cake, but one's walking in favorLiving a good life, 'cause they walk with the makerMy dreams are different; you know that I've been changed nowThe good life is the life that's been laid down.The good life
