[Hook - Makeda]
Now that I
Can get by
I can live
My dreams

[Verse 1 - Sage]
My life, my life
Last time I checked
It was still my life
Spent my money and
I bought my mic
So like Mary J. Blige
Nigga this is my life
My struggle is real
It's the kid Sage
None other too ill
Made this beat on a Sunday
Just a little something for my mother to feel
My pain, my pain
I'm tryna stay in my lane, my lane
The feeling that I get when
It all comes together
Blood running through my veins, my veins
My dreams, my dreams
I'm tryna live beyond my means, my means
So till the team
Runs out of steam
We living beyond our dreams, our dreams
Our dreams

[Hook - Makeda]
Now that I
Can get by
I can live
My dreams

[Verse 2 - Sage]
All the rap critics talk shit
About the lyric that I spit
About it sounding pretty dope
Or 'bout it sounding like shit
Either way that shit goes
I'm still tryna make a living
And listening to these niggas
Is a quicker way to end it
It being the life i dedicated
To this vision
It being my time, money, blood, sweat and lyrics
Everything is related and
When you see that appearing
The snakes in the grass
Around you become vivid
The weight of the world
On your shoulders is lifted
And then you take a second to
Remind yourself you're gifted
And even if it is a pipe dream
These other niggas tripping
So stop worrying about 'em
And do what you do to get it
(Get it)
Fucking right nigga I live it
I ain't worried bout them
I do what I do and get it
(Get it)
Fists clenched teeth gritted
I'ma go out there and get it
I'ma go out there and get it nigga

[Hook - Makeda]
Now that I
Can get by
I can live
My dreams

(Repeat)

[Outro - Sage]
Now that I
Can get by
I can live my dreams
(Repeat x3)
