city of dreams - phillip mweemba lyrics

[produced: phillip mweemba]

[intro]
yeah
uh
yeah, yeah

imagine waking up

[intro hook]
waking up in the city of dreams
waking up in the city of dreams

[verse 1]
waking up in the city of dreams doing 1 million things
you plotting lucid blueprints thinking of schemes
setting alarm clock to sound off people it seems everybody’s sleep you wondering who still on your team
then there’s me grew up in lagos, but came from outer sp*ce
wasn’t even a random face in a crowded place
felt outta place my whole life from my birthplace to where i was raised
but i had to make mysеlf a king with everything i creatе
i spent the first two years of my twenties feeling empty
plenty of time wasted my smile faded resenting
anyone who ever left me
broken, cold and unfriendly
many days in a haze thinking everyone was against me
but
i’m kind of glad it happened my character developed
was back to rapping and recaptured my merit although my past was unpleasant
the lesson had quite the effect on who i am in the present
i’ma give credit to those who built me he’s forever indebted ha
[hook]
staying wide awake in the city of dreams
you’re up late in a chase can’t be thinking of sleep
spent your life on a race than began in your teens
you’re dozing and waking up in the city of dreams
waking up in the city of dreams
waking up in the city of dreams
navigating through the city of dreams
you found your place in the city of dreams

[verse 2]
when covid started i rose out of my downward spiral
stuck in the house being idle then my godzilla video went viral
a tidal wave of attention came a lot of pats on my spinal
praise and congratulations and even got mention from idols
what’s funny is that i posted the video three weeks prior
hardly any retweets to shady announced it then the views went higher
i’d be a liar i said i wasn’t overwhelmed by the taste of fame
when it came, i was blindsided and dazed but i stayed the same
i came along way from recording songs in my closet without the care or knowledge of how i could make money off it
wasn’t concerned about what i could earn or what got in my pocket
it was all i ever was never good at it was impossible to stop it
and everybody who thought they could halt it
are watching me accomplish great things while still getting started
can’t be late on my way to the gate the planes departing
destination “city of dreams” i got my seat beat locked in ha
[hook:]
staying wide awake in the city of dreams
you’re up late in a chase can’t be thinking of sleep
spent your life on a race than began in your teens
you’re dozing and waking up in the city of dreams
waking up in the city of dreams
waking up in the city of dreams
navigating through the city of dreams
you found your place in the city of dreams
