Hopes and Dreams

From the EP A Touch of Soul by Scottychams

Chorus

What about your goals

Hopes and dreams

I mean it’s unrealistic

I’m not try being mean

I wasn’t trying to be realistic

I’m real as shit slick

So listen to up now

So as to get the gist

Verse 1

Yo I mean

That’s all fine and dandy

Priorities have shifted

And I get it

Understanding

Ultimately

I mean it’s

All the same thing

Was already

Pretty lonely

Now I’m extremely

Dealing with my demons

Unevenly

But the problem

Is being social

Doesn’t help me out

Grinding in the studio

Is what I’m all about

Sad

But at the same time

What can you really do

Nothing

Except think of rhymes for you

Said do things you enjoy

But for corporate

I’m employed

And I’m trying to get out

And yeah I’ve got my doubts

Music without you

I would die

We all got an escape

Mine is spitting bold

On this tape

While I vape

A touch of soul

Is what this ain’t

It’s a part of me

Some people like party please

I have my own way

Yeah, I just do it a from a distance

With this shit

Said fair enough

I’ve accepted that

I need to be alone

But I won’t accept the loneliness

So cold on your own

It’s understandable

They all soul cannibals

I just sold cannabis bowls

Everybody acts like they get the gist

But nobody knows shit

Yeah nobody knows shit

Disregard bad vibes and treat em fair game

But I’ve always been a nice guy

I mean

I’ve always been nice guy

A depressed white guy

Rapping on these sad vibes

And yet

They think

That substance was my downfall

Like one day

I’ll have case

Going on in town hall

I’m depressed that’s it

Talking about corruption

I see it now in everything

And you see it in nothing

Cause once you actually focus

You can’t un-notice

Once you stop

Turning your blind eye

From your little perfect lives

You realize

Just how bad the world is

I can’t just be happy about it

I never understood

How everybody could

Disregard

Ignore it

I envy them

Living so blissly

Extorted

Slit wrists denied

Don’t worry I won’t die

But I mean it’s too different now

I can’t connect with these people

Cause all they fed is bullshit

Pretend like we all equal

So everything they say

Is the same

Am I talking to this person?

Or to everything they hate

Their parents

Or their siblings

Role models

Or the media they save

It was from a young age

Patriotism is religion

Wasn’t my decision

And nobody noticed

I was late too the party

It already started

So call me a conspiracist

But not thinking about this shit

Is the crazy part

Cause when I thought of this

I dropped my shit to spit

I’m saying

Chorus

What about your goals

And your hopes and your dreams

I mean it’s unrealistic

They not trying to be mean

But I mean

I’m not trying to be realistic

I’m real as shit slick

I hope you feel this track

I put my soul on it

Verse 2

All these bitches only want platonic

Cause I’m not chasing after em

Or take em out, ironic

I’m on chronic

And all they want this classy shit

I ain’t even got a car

All the money goes to bars

Metaphorically and literally

Then I stare at the stars

I wonder if somewhere far

Someone has it figured out

I won’t sit and pout

I’m a change game up

Whatever way I play

So I laugh when y’all say

Chorus

What about your goals

And your hopes and dreams

I mean it’s unrealistic

They not try being mean

No shit

Outro

A dream isn’t realistic

Reality is real

But

I’m a manifest this shit

Until it’s in your reality

Cause this life is a fallacy

We can all do it

And now you’ll see

I’m proud of what I’ve come be

I think I finally got the key

Hopefully you can just be with me

Hopefully
