On Dreaming and Success

How many of you people came here with someone
You love tonight if you
Love somebody tonight, hold on real tight
Hold on, hold on if
You love somebody tonight, hold on
Real tight if you love
Somebody tonight, hold on
Hold on hold on tonight

You know
It's so interesting cause they're trying to
Make me, like you just read the
Don't me ask about the motherfucking mask
You know what it comes off of
It's the Yeezus shit you know when you
If you read the headlines and
Read like, random blogs or whatever the fuck
They might put up, you know
It's funny how they they always try to
Bring up the negative or
Bring up the things that sound
The most out of context you know it's like
Have you ever felt out of
Place ever, like, out of context
Like someone just didn't understand
Like they just didn't understand what
You wanted to do, what you
Was trying to do, or what
Or what you was dreaming of
Have you ever, have you ever
Been scared to say, to
Say your dreams out loud? Have you
Ever been just a little
Bit afraid to say your dreams
Out loud? Have you been
Afraid to dream in front of a crowd
To dream in front
Of a crowd, to dream in front of a crowd
To dream out loud?

I had a dream i had a dream
That I was Steve Jobs i had
A dream that I was Walt Disney
I had a dream that I
Was The Wright Brothers i had a dream
That I was Thomas Edison i
Had a dream that I was Mandela
I had a dream that I
Was Martin Luther King i had a dream, I had a
Dream, I had a dream i had a dream
I had a dream and I'm not afraid
To dream out loud you know you just
Get so scared that people are
Gonna think you're crazy, or that you're
Stupid, or that you're foolish
Or this is the time that
Everybody thinks you're losing your mind
But I'm not losing my
Mind, I'm using my mind! I'm
Not losing my mind
I'm using my mind so don't mind
Me, don't mind me, don't mind
Me i'm not losing, i'm not losing my
Mind, I'm using my mind so don't
Mind me, nevermind me, never, never
Nevermind me
If what I'm saying, appeals to you
And makes you
Feel like you can be a better you
Than thats good for me and
If what I'm saying offends
You, and makes you feel like the worst you
Than that's good for me
Too, true that's good for me too
True that's good for me too, true

Cause there's only two types of people
There's dreamers and there's haters there's
Dreamers and there's haters and
All I've been doing recently
Is cutting the grass
Real low so if you a dreamer
Everybody will know and
If you a hater, make yourself be seen, CAUSE
I don't give a fuck about you, tHATS WHAT I
MEAN! Cut the grass real low
Cut the grass real
Low, cut the grass real low I find
Cause I feel like I just
Try sometimes and I'm
Not afraid at all i'm not afraid to
Fall i'm not afraid to fall i'm not afraid
To fall i'm not afraid at all
I'm not afraid at all tHEY CAN'T STAND ME!
They can't control me! they can't hold me!
They can't hold me! they can't hold me! they
Can't hold me! they can't hold me!

I ain't saying, when I say you
I'm talking about public perception
I'm talking about
Backlash, I'm talking about all the tools
They use to hold dreamers back
To make them look like motherfucking lunatics
How many people you know, that you talk
To on a day to day basis, that made
A motherfucking mountain open up
In Tampa tonight? So
All the other shit I'm talking about
Is it crazy or is it possible?
Put your hands up if
You think anything is possible put
Your hands up if you
Think anything is possible, if you
Think anything is possible
If you think anything is possible
Cause God made us
In his image and God made us all artists
As children, god made us all artists as
Children and somehow that
Peer pressure takes the artist out of you
Somehow the world can leave you so confused
And you forget who you are but
I'm remembering, I'm remembering
I'm remembering
Cause most people, you know they say
They say people in my position
What ever that position is, like a
Celebrity or you make money
You have some type of status or some
Shit, you don't wanna fuck it up right?
You don't wanna ruin your name
You don't wanna
Say anything wrong so what you do is
You get on TV you just smile
You just wave, and you try to be as safe
As possible, cause you don't
Wanna fuck up enough
But i wanna fuck everything up! i
Wanna fuck everything up! i wanna
FUCK UP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE 'CAUSE I'm STILL
BEATING! As long as my heart is
Beating, as long as I'm dreaming and I'mma
Stay kicking and dreaming
Kicking and screaming, kicking and dreaming

I feel like it's my responsibility to
Turn up i feel like
It's my responsibility to turn up
And I stand here, the Gemini that I am
And there are so many examples
Throughout our history: Miles Davis, Biggie
Smalls, Lauryn Hill, Prince, 2Pac the
Gemini that I am
It is my responsibility to turn
Up and tell you
The truth and if I get in so much
Trouble for telling you the truth, and if I
If I get in so much trouble for
Telling you the truth
Then the rest of the time
The rest of the time
What the fuck were they telling you? If
I get in so much trouble for telling you
The truth, then the rest of the time
What the FUCK were they telling you?! What
The fuck are they telling you? So
Don't let nobody kill your dreams
Don't let nobody tell you what you can do
Cause the more you accomplish
The more they wanna say you
Look like a fool following what
You want to tonight
And you gotta an opportunity in the world
