We on? Aight – 1,2,3, go! [Verse 1] ^Cmaj7 Waking ^Amup in a dream ^Cmaj7 Sleepwalking on a^Amnother big stage You ^Bm7never heard peace 'til you hear people scream Your ^Emname in unison, I'm so far away From the ^Am7place I used to be, struggling usually ^Am7Look at the newer me, fate pursuing me ^Gmaj7I can feel the energy in the air ^D9sus4It feel like I'm supposed to be here

^Cmaj7Everywhere I go I'm getting ^Amso much love ^Cmaj7Fans, the stars, ^Ameveryone ^Bm7Sayin how they can't wait for the LP And ^EmI'm gonna blow, they believe in me ^Am7Feel so good in what you do ^Am7 Helps somebody else get through That's ^Gmaj7why I do the best I can Be^D9sus4cause I know how blessed I am

^Cmaj7I'm so ^Amhigh I can ^Cmaj7touch the ^Amsky I know ^Bm7it's my time And it's ^Emnow or never I ^Am7shine so bright I ^Am7light the night And it ^Gmaj7feels so right Ain't ^D9sus4nothing better

^Cmaj7 A fool if I ^Amtake it all for granted ^Cmaj7 A smart man if I ^Amkeep my feet planted To the ^Bm7earth 'cause the people that hurt can understand it You ^Emspeakin' outlandish I'mma show you how to make it all ^Am7work Another planet, it's a short term goal for m^Am7e A record sold for me It's just more of m^Gmaj7e in your ear For you to hear K^D9sus4endrick persevere Defenses I feel rel^Cmaj7entless Ambition ^Amwith a clear vision ^Cmaj7Takin' off I ain't takin ^Amoff these Pistons I'm ^Bm7takin' off on the inner me - you're distance ^EmCame across me, how much it'a cost me To g^Am7et you out my business I said a planet is a ^Am7short term goal, no sky is the limit I'm p^Gmaj7ast that, now pass that Award, not ^D9sus4one but four times two plus yours

I ^Cmaj7see myself per^Amforming there, (K.dot) ^Cmaj7Sold out shows where the ^Amroom is packed ^Bm7Sitting at the Grammy's winning five awards ^EmSee myself on big billboards ^Am7Traveling around the world with endorsement deals ^Am7 Can't imagine how it feels That's ^Gmaj7why I'm smiling everyday Be^D9sus4cause my dream ain't far away

^Cmaj7I'm so ^Amhigh I can ^Cmaj7touch the ^Amsky I know ^Bm7it's my time And it's ^Emnow or never I ^Am7shine so bright I ^Am7light the night And it ^Gmaj7feels so right Ain't ^D9sus4nothing better

^Cmaj7 You looking at me and you ^Amtell me I'm blessed Calcu^Cmaj7lated my steps, my ^Amheart, my breath Breathe in ^Bm7lungs of a victory and vividly You see me when ^Emat my best, my worst This verse dedi^Am7cated to the days that I slept With a curse re^Am7search my paid dues I'm reimbursed I ^Gmaj7burst in the crowd with a voice and a crown I'm a ^D9sus4King on the prowl and I see mama smile? And I ^Cmaj7vow on the tape that I'll ^Amnever break You can break ^Cmaj7bread with me now We can ^Amall take a bow on the ^Bm7edge of the pedestal Then scream out loud that we ^Emmade it off the avenue And walked that mile In the ^Am7darkness I often sit back And get lost in the ^Am7rap that I wrote When you told me that it spoke to your ^Gmaj7soul I was talking to you I was walking it ^D9sus4through every ghetto Tell success hello, we here

^Cmaj7 And I'm so ^Amhappy I cr^Cmaj7y Cause I ^Amcan't believe ^Bm7 All the things I ever ^Emwanted Are finally happening for me ^Am7 And it's so surreal ^Am7 That I almost feel ^Gmaj7 That any minute I can w^D9sus4ake up From this fantasy ^Cmaj7 When you ^Ampray so h^Cmaj7ard And you've ^Amcome so f^Bm7ar And you know that it's the ^Emtime for you to lift your b^Emar And I'm gonna ^D9sus4do it – watch me!

^Cmaj7I'm so ^Amhigh I can ^Cmaj7touch the ^Amsky I know ^Bm7it's my time And it's ^Emnow or never I ^Am7shine so bright I ^Am7light the night And it ^Gmaj7feels so right Ain't ^D9sus4nothing better

^Cmaj7I'm so ^Amhigh I can ^Cmaj7touch the ^Amsky I know ^Bm7it's my time And it's ^Emnow or never I ^Am7shine so bright I ^Am7light the night And it ^Gmaj7feels so right Ain't ^D9sus4nothing better
