about

This song is about setting realistic goals and remaining focused and following your dreams. Sometimes we set unrealistic goals for ourselves and as a result we fall short on expectation. This joint just had that type of inspirational vibe to it that gave me goosebumps. The production on this one is just phenomenal. Couldn't believe this was all for me. LOL. A very suitable title track for the album. Dedicated to all dream chasers. Dream BIG and dream PRACTICAL. Don't stop! Big shout out to my Essenchill Records labelmate and producer extraordinaire. Concept! Get to know this man!

lyrics

verse 1:
With goals and aspirations...my visions locked and moves are calculated
No time to lose making moves that are makeshift
See....thinking on the fly has got its limitations
Success in life my kind of vindication
Hope... mixed with a dream and the follow through like a golf swing
The motto that I gotta ingrain in my offspring
Too many princes grow up to be lost kings
Green eyed bandits out for dollars to floss things
Lacking direction and a purpose
Based on a track record this model don't seem to be working...so it's worthless
It needs service...we see so many dreams don't ever seem to flourish
(As) long as dreams remain practical no need to be discouraged
... cause in this life we live only death is certain
Create a road map for your success before your curtains close
Death is for certain bro, dreams.... I pursue with frequent flyer mileage
Using inspiration as my pilot
...Cross continental reach, limits never peeked
...Success, within my fingers reach, I sniff it when I breath
The measure of success is relative like blood related peeps
In this game of play for keeps, I'm trying to win to say the least
Driven... by the notion of uplifting my community
Lifted at the hope that unity can one day prove to be
Inspiring, for the beasts inside of life's lions den
Inspire self, then inspire them...

Verse 2:
Sometimes I get blurry eyed...but the visions never lost
Even if I start drifting off course
Momentary set backs...is the devil trying to get back...at you
Just like the government...why you think you get taxed for booze??
It's a death trap you fool...man I'm guilty of the same
Guzzling this poison...messing with my brain
What I'm saying is assess the bigger picture and determine where you fit in
Move accordingly without the politics in
Glimpsing at that city skyline I'm already sky high off life
I feel I'm winning, hands high like gimme 5
So many miles on inspirational planes (plains)...that's literal
Sometimes the inspiration is pain...for lyricals
Turning a negative to positive force
Such a release like you popping a cork
Inspiration's like the rock in the sport of football
Move the chains and get a flock of support from team mates for a good call
Inspiration comes in various forms
So when it hits you let it get you to where you belong
And where you belong is the place where the energy's strong
And when the energy's strong that's when the synergy's formed
And when the synergy's formed that's when the chemistry's born
Then an indelible bond is formed to weather the storm
Aspire to inspire is the next best move
I'm trying the be the best Es, not the 2nd best you
