Through eyes of a different kind
We can leave this world behind us
So high I can part the sky
We can have it all
Putting lyrics to the record now
Ride with me, I'mma show you the life
Of the L to the double O N-E-Y
One with the shotgun, got the bass drum kicking
Ready to blow, I’m like a time bomb ticking
Stick them up kid, got the lyrical flow
Miracle show, it's time to let the suckers know that
It's high time that you’re rocking this rhyme
Let the music take control of your body and mind
[Refrain:]
Champagne dreams, silver linings
To all the things I wish I had
(Take it, take it)
Champagne dreams, silver linings
Come with me, I'll take you there
Putting it down for the second round
Step aside, let the real ride begin
The fire within
We’re gonna take you to oblivion
It's what we're living in
Shitty seas and broken dreams
Pave the ways of all difficult days
I’m in a haze
So amazed that we’re all still sane
Chasing money and fame to the grave
Straight slaves to the dollar from the blue collar
Champagne dreams, they’re blessing me eventually
I think it's time you raise yourself
I think it's time I raise myself up
I think it's time you raise yourself
I think it's time I raise myself up
[Refrain:]
Champagne dreams, silver linings
To all the things I wish I had
(Take it, take it)
Champagne dreams, silver linings
Come with me, I'll take you there
Wonder when I'm coming up
Wonder when I'm coming up
I wonder when my time will come
Will it come before my time is done?
Or are these dreams just time that I wasted
Of the sweet life that I never tasted
Travel further for the fast tracks
Sudden impact
Meet the market halfway
Hope that I'm a mainstay
Take the money and run
Hope for a comeback
Live it up a little
Nah, homie, fuck that
[Refrain:]
(How long will I be underpaid for the blood and tears I've shed?)
Champagne dreams, silver linings
To all the things I wish I had
(How long will I be made a slave while my fantasies remain?)
Champagne dreams, silver linings
Come with me, I'll take you there
I’m in it to win it
All my seconds and minutes passing by
Slithering away from me
Time has become my enemy
Identity driven, poverty stricken
I feel there’s simply no more forgiveness
So why the fuck are you living?
