Street dreams, close your eyes Say goodbye to the memory Street dreams, this is the moment The moment that feels like forever This is the end to where I began And it feels like forever They say time flies Down from the sky and says never I look down, all I see is never And all I know is all I know I was born faceless in an oasis Folks disappear here and leave no traces No family ties, nigga no laces Less than a full deck, nigga no aces Waitin' on Superman, losing all patience Gettin' wasted on an everyday basis I'm stuck here, can't take a vacation So fuck it, this shit is damnation This is reality mane Ain't no surprise, I've been bangin' without any mane What is this? Gotta be brave When into the night, I'ma go quietly mane Life is a bitch and then you live Until one day by death you're found I tried to keep both of my feet on the ground But I know my head is surrounded by clouds Spirallin' down, destined to drown Forever is just a collection of nows Off on my own, nowhere is my home Approaching infinities fork in the road When I was young something I often was told It's not a bargain if it costs you your soul Costs you your pride, caution aside I'm gone with the wind and I'm long for the ride Wish I could rest and open my eyes But time ain't finna fly down from the sky A place where the lonely love Not another soul's there, only us Street dreams, close your eyes Say goodbye to the memory Street dreams, this is the moment The moment that feels like forever This is the end to where I began And it feels like forever They say time flies Down from sky and says never I look down, all I see is never And all I know is all I know I woke with a tear drop All I know is all I know I woke with a tear drop All I know is all I know It's all I know All I know
