Description
My seventh recorded song. I found this Jazz spin on a Hip-Hop beat and instantly felt like I needed some Soulful vocals on it, especially seen as I've been working on my sampling lately, I decided to sample the vocals of 'The Temptations' and use them to create a smooth hook to a smooth track. Inspired by a dream a once had in which I was on a stage in front of a million flashing cameras.
Lyrics
*Hook* If you've got a dream then chase it, don't let anybody stop you that can't face it, Don't settle for a life so basic, you want a taste of adventure then go taste it, Got an opportunity don't waste it, take up any way of getting up out of your basement, Hands to the sky, make your dreams come alive, wave your past goodbye and say it! (Temptations) DON'T LOOK BACK, BABE, DON'T LOOK BACK, DON'T LOOK BACK, MHHMM, DON'T LOOK BACK, BABE, DON'T LOOK BACK, DON'T LOOK BACK, DON'T LOOK BACK *Verse 1* Ladies and Gentlemen, i'm entering with gentlemen, flyer than I've ever been; these haters are irrelevant, got a goal in mind, it's the gold in the mine, everybody's tryna steal it but I stole it; it's mine, now i'm here, you over there, I'm doing what I love and giving you what you love to hear, I knew that I could do it from the start, ever since the day I first dreamed I would be a star, I knew it would be hard, I was following my heart, if dreams were acheivable we would all be up to par, but we aren't, that's why success belongs to the go-getters, the ones who go out and go get what they told us they'd get us, not yet there but i'll make it, and i'm gonna fox trot there this dance taken, though I'm looking forward I won't forget where I came from, I know it happens but I swear i'll resist the temptation.. *Hook* If you've got a dream then chase it, don't let anybody stop you that can't face it, Don't settle for a life so basic, you want a taste of adventure then go taste it, Got an opportunity don't waste it, take up any way of getting up out of your basement, Hands to the sky, make your dreams come alive, wave your past goodbye and say it! (Temptations) DON'T LOOK BACK, BABE, DON'T LOOK BACK, DON'T LOOK BACK, MHHMM, DON'T LOOK BACK, BABE, DON'T LOOK BACK, DON'T LOOK BACK, DON'T LOOK BACK *Bridge* If you've got a dream then chase it, don't let anybody stop you that can't face it, Don't settle for a life so basic, you want a taste of adventure then go taste it, Got an opportunity don't waste it, take up any way of getting up out of your basement, Hands to the sky, make your dreams come alive, wave your past goodbye and say it.. *Verse 2* So I told em, and I keep tellin em, ay how many times could I tell em without offendin em, now my vision steady, i'm sick of living buried, are you ready to face the world's greatest visionary, girl, I see you and me on a part-tide, but you've gotta understand we can only be part-time, the skill and devotion that goes into these hard rhymes, can only be defined by living through hard times, who I'm kidding these lyrics write themselves, but it does require hard work to sight them sales, I might aswell pick up the mic myself, cos nobody is gonna give it and they right as hell, and I know when I get hold they'll be no lettin go, cos i'm sick of being broke; being low on the dough, I'ma keep up on my pros until I'm sold out of shows, and keep going with the flow; yea you know it goes! *Hook* If you've got a dream then chase it, don't let anybody stop you that can't face it, Don't settle for a life so basic, you want a taste of adventure then go taste it, Got an opportunity don't waste it, take up any way of getting up out of your basement, Hands to the sky, make your dreams come alive, wave your past goodbye and say it! (Temptations) DON'T LOOK BACK, BABE, DON'T LOOK BACK, DON'T LOOK BACK, MHHMM, DON'T LOOK BACK, BABE, DON'T LOOK BACK, DON'T LOOK BACK, DON'T LOOK BACK *Outro* Don't look back, babe, ooh yea, Don't look back, hmm, Don't look back, babe.
