lyrics

VERSE ONE
As a kid I used to hang posters on my wall
Of all the people who to me, seemed to have it all
Conspired a higher reach than all of the stars
Gimmie a galaxy in my back yard
The currency, one heart
One reign, one GOD
Now I'm just tired of this patience shit
I'm livin' life borderline homelessness
And easy money isn't worth life to get
So fuck all the rules and the standards set
This world ain't real, but the debt is stress
They make few meant to have, most never get
I make due with my have's and I'm never whole
So Imma find my hope in a righteous toke
Dream under oath, bold is a painful growth
So my bredrens filling up on rum coke
Feel that ascension hit us, cups overflow
Our holy ghost, saving us from all our woes
Better than letting any of our thoughts provoke
So raise a toast, raise a toast
HOOK
Dreamer, what you afraid of? (What you afraid of?)
Dreamer, know what you’re made of (Know what you're made of)
Kill em ow-ow-out
Slew Dem
Kill em ow-ow-out
Slew Dem
Kill em ow-ow-out
Slew Dem
Kill em ow-ow-out
Slew Dem
Kill em ow-out!

VERSE TWO
I’m the ungodly presence of fear and resentment
Not satisfied with the way that I’m living
Not satisfied with my fatal decline
I’m not stable, about to derail
I just tread the thin line of life and death
Make mistakes, learn the way and how to prevent
Start to wake, lessons start kickin in
Start to fade, then it start all over again
And I’m sittin' in a tornado
Of low payroll, and lowered goals
With nowhere to go
With the people I relate to making toasts
In overdose hoping my end is close cuz I
Don’t want to dive in a 9-5
And if we hit the streets we’ve already died
Got a lot I wanna do with my time but no money
There's nobody lookin’ out for me?
Options are so limited
See the eye in needle, am I the thread?
I aspire to make me a shall that says
I shall prevail no matter what trials are there

HOOK
Dreamer, what you afraid of? (What you afraid of?)
Dreamer, know what you’re made of (Know what you're made of)
Kill em ow-ow-out
Slew Dem
Kill em ow-ow-out
Slew Dem
Kill em ow-ow-out
Slew Dem
Kill em ow-ow-out
Slew Dem
Kill em ow-out!

OUTRO
Aye, aye
Slew the demons, yes
Slew the doubting
Slew the doubting
Slew the doubting, yes
