      Waking up in a dream

                                            Am7
Another planet, it's a short term goal for me
A record sold for me
                   Gmaj7
It's just more of me in your ear

Ambition with a clear vision

Cmaj7                    Am
Takin' off I ain't takin off these Pistons

    Bm7
I'm takin' off on the inner me - you're distance

Em
Came across me, how much it'a cost me

    Am7
To get you out my business

                     Am7
I said a planet is a short term goal, no sky is the limit

     Gmaj7
I'm past that, now pass that

           D9sus4
Award, not one but four times two plus yours
[Bridge]
  Cmaj7         Am
I see myself performing there, (K.dot)

Sold out shows where the room is packed

Bm7
Sitting at the Grammy's winning five awards

Em
See myself on big billboards

Am7
Traveling around the world with endorsement deals

That's why I'm smiling everyday

      You looking at me and you tell me I'm blessed

     Cmaj7              Am
Calculated my steps, my heart, my breath

           Bm7
Breathe in lungs of a victory and vividly

                Em
You see me when at my best, my worst

               Am7
This verse dedicated to the days that I slept

               Am7
With a curse research my paid dues I'm reimbursed

  Gmaj7
I burst in the crowd with a voice and a crown

      D9sus4
I'm a King on the prowl and I see mama smile?

      Cmaj7                     Am
And I vow on the tape that I'll never break

              Cmaj7
You can break bread with me now

       Am                    Bm7
We can all take a bow on the edge of the pedestal

                             Em
Then scream out loud that we made it off the avenue
And walked that mile
       Am7
In the darkness I often sit back

                    Am7
And get lost in the rap that I wrote

                                       Gmaj7
When you told me that it spoke to your soul
I was talking to you
                 D9sus4
I was walking it through every ghetto
Tell success hello, we here [Bridge]
Cmaj7            Am        Cmaj7
      And I'm so happy I cry

        Am
Cause I can't believe

Bm7                       Em
    All the things I ever wanted
Are finally happening for me
Am7
    And it's so surreal

Am7
    That I almost feel

Gmaj7                        D9sus4
      That any minute I can wake up
From this fantasy
Cmaj7          Am       Cmaj7
      When you pray so hard

           Am       Bm7
And you've come so far

                           Em                         Em
And you know that it's the time for you to lift your bar

              D9sus4
And I'm gonna do it – watch me!
[Chorus]
Cmaj7  Am
I'm so high

      Cmaj7     Am
I can touch the sky

       Bm7
I know it's my time

         Em
And it's now or never

  Am7
I shine so bright

  Am7
I light the night

       Gmaj7
And it feels so right

      D9sus4
Ain't nothing better

Cmaj7  Am
I'm so high

      Cmaj7     Am
I can touch the sky

       Bm7
I know it's my time

         Em
And it's now or never

  Am7
I shine so bright

  Am7
I light the night

       Gmaj7
And it feels so right

      D9sus4
Ain't nothing better
Cmaj7 Am Cmaj7 Am Bm7 Em Am7 Gmaj7 D9sus4
