[Intro:]
Ah ah, a dreamer, a dreamer
Ah ah, a dreamer, a dreamer
Ah ah, a dreamer, a dreamer
Ah ah, a dreamer, a dreamer
It's STL, listen
[Verse 1:]
What are stars for if not to be aimed at?
What are we here for if not to believe that?
Are you comfortable behind the limit
And always turning back around so fit in
People scared to go after what they want
They just wanna walk on where the light on
Too scared they might fall
That's why nothing ever happens at all, so I ain't letting-
Go no days without me scheming
I get lost for a while without caring who see me
Think where I wanna be and let my mind lead me
If I can feel it, why can't I live it?
Don't wanna drawn in life I wanna elevate
I'm baking a bigger cake, so need a bigger plate
But when you aim high, they call you a dreamer
They called Oprah the same, but now have you seen her
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna wake up
I feel this more than life
What I feel is more than life
They call me such a dreamer
Ah ah, a dreamer, a dreamer
Ah ah, a dreamer, a dreamer
Ah ah, a dreamer, a dreamer
Ah ah, a dreamer, a dreamer
[Verse 2:]
Yeah, so I'm a dreamer alright
Let me go nuts, let me jump up high
I wanna touch the sky and fly
Can't tell me hush, this is my life
Cause what you know about what I've been through
Or what I'm hoping to achieve when I'm twenty two
If you knew you'd be like "yeah right"
So I ain't saying nothing but "yeah right"
Cause have you noticed when you tell people about
Dreams that you have what you will get is doubts
Man, no one wanna help you out
They see what they wanna see, inside out
Then you hear what they had to say and fall all out
What you really wanted to, end up not trying out
They messed it up saying what you can and can not
So I won't say nothing, to you check it out
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna wake up
I feel this more than life
What I feel is more than life
They call me such a dreamer
I don't wanna wake up
I feel this more than life
What I feel is more than life
They call me such a dreamer
[Bridge:]
Yeah damn right I have dreams I said
Way much bigger than the once you have in bed
Been having them for years so mine don't fade
They with me everywhere so I ain't afraid
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna wake up
I feel this more than life
What I feel is more than life
They call me such a dreamer
Ah ah, a dreamer, a dreamer
Ah ah, a dreamer, a dreamer
Ah ah, a dreamer, a dreamer
Ah ah, a dreamer, a dreamer
I have dreams I said
They call me a dreamer
