B. Cooper - What It Means

Life is moving by too fast, kinda hard to keep my focus
These lyrics are my heart, that's the reason that I wrote this
I hope it makes a spark, bringing hope to all the hopeless
Point em' towards the God of the skies down to the the oceans
Ain't no mountain high, no valley low (Yeah)
When it rains just know there's pots of gold (Yeah)
We gon' make it, we gon' make it home (Yeah)
We just gotta stay up on this broken road
Nobody said that it'd be easy
I thank God every day that I'm still breathing, believe me
Head up in the clouds, I can see it
Pastor told me that there's way more to life than just dreaming

Don't know why they want to kill my dreams
I'm just trying to make it for the team
I'm trying to decipher what it means, what it means
Tell me what it means
Why they want to kill my dreams
Why they want to kill my dreams
Why they want to kill my dreams

It's all about the dream now, all about the future
Stop focusing on all the things that we use to
Went from hard work to hardly working, think we blew up
Now we stuck in place, face to face with Medusa
The serpent's here
No bite, no strike (Nah) we working here
Against the calendar, I feel like it's me vs. the year
See I could dream my life away, but if it don't see light of day
Honestly can you tell me it was worth the tears
This is for my people on the frontline
Do more walking than talking they know it's crunch time
I've got a purpose, these verses are more than punchlines
Just gotta live it, and wake up before the sunrise

Don't know why they want to kill my dreams
I'm just trying to make it for the team
I'm trying to decipher what it means, what it means
Tell me what it means
Why they want to kill my dreams
Why they want to kill my dreams
Why they want to kill my dreams

Said I was a dreamer, I still mean that
Just changed up my whole demeanor, had to leave that
Mindset that if I looked up in the stars, I would find a constellation
I don't wanna settle for a consolation
I see trophies in the cases, cheese for the rats up in these mazes
Only thing ain't change, was His grace, that's amazing
So why would I go switch it up, give it up, do it different huh
Nah, that ain't how my momma raised me
Put my feet to the ground, soles to the pavement
Give my life to the cause to go through the stages
Wake up, I can't sleep through all of my days and
Still expect to get to the place that I have been chasing

Don't know why they want to kill my dreams
I'm just trying to make it for the team
I'm trying to decipher what it means, what it means
Tell me what it means
Why they want to kill my dreams
Why they want to kill my dreams
Why they want to kill my dreams
