Started at the tables, started during lunch.
Kicked a lil rhymes, had a lil fun.
Made a couple smile, some even cried.
I cant please everyone, i ain't gonna lie.
Used to go home, write down my verses.
Thats why my freestyles sound kinda perfect.
Damn, James did you really say that?
Bet I feel like a boss in my Maybach.
But now, I grind and I grind.
Life is a ladder, all I do is climb.
I got a feeling, I'm about to get signed.
Im sorry I'm late, this kinda takes time.
Getting love from all across the world.
From AnR's, fans, and mostly its the girls saying,
"James are you ever gonna forget me? and if you famous, then watchu gonna get me?"
Maybe clothes, maybe couple of watches, but I don't make promises cause I don't wanna break them.
Same place, that I was last year.
Im still clocking in as the store's cashier.
Im gettin paid only minimum wage.
In front of the mirror like the center of stages.
Mom, Im just tryna make it out.
I hope you understand, Im just tryna make you proud.
Long hours everyday for your son.
I truly appreciate, everything that you've done.
I know I don't say it, I know you don't see it.
I have a hard time expressing all my feelings.
Damn I don't want you to hate me, even though I act like I don't really care.
See, and this life can be tough.
The pursuit of happiness can never get enough.
Cause I always want the car, the money and the clothes.
I'll never be happy cause I always want more.
See Im just tryna make it out.
I hope you understand that....that....
Hook
Im just chasing my dreams
Im just chasing
Keith

ake me back to my first song.
And everything I ever worked on.
I'm just sitting in the back seat.
Thinking about the reasons why we cant quit.
I met James, we started playing soccer.
He was tryin to make the team, I was tryna be a doctor, but...
Right now we grind and we grind.
And even if we fail, at least know we tried.
I do this all for my mom and dad.
And for the life that we never had.
Im just tryna make you proud.
Hope you understand when I finally make it out,
We'll be set for a better future.
Cause I remember too, back in school I was a regular dude.
Tryna make a move by the second, youtube my progression.
If you chose to improve, then soon you gonna make it.
Dear God, Im tired of a regular job.
My mama still crying a lot.
You see, thats why I'm sitting in the parking lot thinking if i'll make it far
I wonder if you hear me or not?
I wonder if you hear me or not?
I wonder if you hear me or not?
See....
Im sitting in the parking thinking if i'll make it far I wonder if you hear me or not?
