Fly Academic Keep Dreaming (feat. Turquoise)
[Intro: Fly Academic]
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
[Pre-Hook: Fly Academic]
My friends don't get it man they think I should forget it
Say I'm living in the clouds
But if I ever dead it then I surely will regret it
And I can't let myself down
[Hook: Fly Academic and Turquoise]
I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming on
I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming on
I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming on
I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming on
[Post-Hook: Fly Academic and Turquoise]
So long farewell take care
Goodbye sleep tight goodnight
So long farewell take care
Goodbye sleep tight goodnight
[Verse 1: Fly Academic]
Popping bottles of Cristal and swinging on chandeliers
Feels a little ways away on my twenty five grand a year
Trade in Jack and cokes for cheap cans of beer
Saving up to get my girl a ring so we'll combine like Planeteers
I'm not a Captain on this Planet, I'm an underling
Pursuing music, arts, and entertainment among other things
Been in this game ten years, seen my share of troubles
Bring me in coach, give me cover team, cause I ain't hear the buzzer ring
So get ready for the babyface comeback
Off the hot tag, in the ring and I'll be the one that
Defies the odds and your expectations
All it takes is smarts, hustle, and some excess patience
So get to know me in the Biblical sense, call me Job
A Roc(rock) star who still sits at a desk, call me Hov
Never stray from your initial intent
If another rapper's talking Juelz(jewels) I'm a Dip from his Set, aye!
[Pre-Hook: Fly Academic]
My friends don't get it man they think I should forget it
Say I'm living in the clouds
But if I ever dead it then I surely will regret it
And I can't let myself down
[Hook: Fly Academic and Turquoise]
I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming on
I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming on
I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming on
I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming on
[Post-Hook: Fly Academic and Turquoise]
So long farewell take care
Goodbye sleep tight goodnight
So long farewell take care
Goodbye sleep tight goodnight
[Verse 2: Fly Academic]
All my life I've been a dreamer
Digging through crates in my borough yes I'm such an eager beaver, damn
Making hits is not a problem
I'm boy wonder at bat man(Batman) and I ain't talking Robin
I can keep it simple stupid or multi-syllabic rhyme schemes
Rap over trap joints or use funky elaborate live beats
Preach to the streets with that sophisticated wordplay
But still I'm stuck here writing verses on my work break
They say I'm too cerebral to be marketable
That I need to reach the people to be remarkable
So I realized, I'd rather be misunderstood
Than remembered for saying words that anybody else could
If I do it, I'll do it my way, Sinatra
Cruising on this interstellar highway, Chewbacca
Let these Stars go to War, I'm just doing me
That's been par for the course, speaking truthfully
[Pre-Hook: Fly Academic]
My friends don't get it man they think I should forget it
Say I'm living in the clouds
But if I ever dead it then I surely will regret it
And I can't let myself down
[Hook: Fly Academic and Turquoise]
I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming on
I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming on
I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming on
I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming on
[Bridge: Fly Academic and Turquoise]
Dream dream dream, dream dream
Dream dream dream, dream dream
(I'll keep) dream dream dream, (dreaming on)
(I'll keep) dream dream dream, (dreaming on)
[Hook: Fly Academic and Turquoise]
I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming on
I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming on
I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming on
I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming I'll keep dreaming on
[Outro: Fly Academic and Turquoise]
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
