Can’t Take My Dream – Steven Malcolm (feat. Joey Jewish)

[Steven Malcolm:] Yeah, I had a dream today That I became what I set my mind to, I wouldn’t have it any other way A kid can dream can he, imagination crazy I’m livin life like I always pictured that I would paint it Lay back just lookin’ at the stars, thinkin’ about what I want to be when I grow up will I? Be just like my pops who ended up living a life of regret Everyday thinkin’ about a son he wished that he had met From a child growing big and strong And conquering my fears proving everybody wrong Even as I write this song, I wonder If I recall Any guilt left inside hoping that I right my wrongs And so I write my wrongs and hope that they relate Today they be so quick to judge, but never know my pain And never know my struggle just the battles that I lose Where there’s defeat, you’ll find the strongest person in them shoes Yeah, living out my dream knowing I broke the cycle That I reach The Eiffel I made impossible zero tryin’ to be like my idols They said I couldn’t, but I raised up from rock bottom Fightin’ for that World Title
[Joey Vantes:] Today, I break these chains on me I swear I’ll never be the same again (oh!) I swear you’ll never lay claim again (oh!) Cause I am a free man
You can’t take my dream (no, no) You can’t take my dream (no, no) You can’t take my dream from- You won’t take my dream from- You can’t take my
[Steven Malcolm:] Got a dream that’s in me, I’m living to protect Rejection all around me, this right here I can’t neglect I never been the type to sit and wait for my respect I spit that dope correct And let the listeners connect So I dream today with childlike faith Possibilities endless, I’m giving what my best is I do it ’till I’m breathless I swear I’m so relentless Can’t no defense contest it You have a dream go get it So dream today, I’m Martin Luther King fighting for what it is I believe even If the cost is me Change in a generation, doing it so they all can see Do it for the people to see truth and who I’m called to be Only question remain will I take advantage? Will I remain the average symphony or raise the standard? Will I proclaim greatness or just run in abandon? I be chillin’ in the cloud, I think I’m never landing Look at the beauty swear there’s nothing like it Sometimes the only way to change the course is to re-write it Sometimes the quickest way to freedom is standing and fighting The passion deep inside you waiting to get ignited Yeah, so go ahead and dream let your mind free Leave them doubts in the rear-view Keep that confidence near you Let the whole city hear you Inside of you is everything you need to have a dream
