No Expectations Lyrics by Jay Allant

Dreams Never Felt So Real

2020

[Intro]
(That boy Stats on the beat)

[Chorus]
Since a youngin' know I always had to open mind
Can’t express the way I’m feelin', it may take some time
If you don’t do it, who gon' do it for you just to shine?
I painted all the walls to see the bigger picture I define
I run it up, I kept it going, past tense, I was down bad
Losin' focus on defense, protectin' all my spirits
Ain’t noticed on me, mmm-mmm-mmm, aye
Niggas touch a bag, they actin' brand new

[Verse 1]
Okay, now I just bought a chop, this shit could rip through
Or you gonna try me like I’m basic, I ain’t simple
Can’t compare me with rest, do shit for others that you can’t do
I’m from a place they only love you when you lit up all your candles
I put my back against thе wall, nobody knowin' I tried to stop this pain
I know it’s pourin', I’m tied up in the rain
But nеver show it, yeah, you lied up in my face
I kept it goin', all these drugs that I’m rollin'
You ain’t never been through shit I went through, can’t say that you feel me
Helped you out, that money changed you, surviving by the day
Ain't nothing promised, cannot phase you and every breathe I take
I pray to God they can’t take you, oh, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
Since a youngin' know I always had to open mind
Can’t express the way I’m feelin', it may take some time
If you don’t do it, who gon' do it for you just to shine?
I painted all the walls to see the bigger picture I define
I run it up, I kept it going, past tense, I was down bad
Losin' focus on defense, protectin' all my spirits
Ain’t noticed on me, mmm-mmm-mmm, aye
Niggas touch a bag, they actin' brand new

[Verse 2]
And I got these choices that I gotta make, niggas that had doubt in me
Voices in my head kept talking to me with no boundaries
Look up in the mirror, see myself, I know he proud of me
I faced the unpredictable, I know that’s how it gotta be
Ain’t with the pillow talkin', see me in 3D
I feel the pills kicking in, my head spinnin'
Look at my momma in her eyes, know it ain’t easy
I feel like all I see is all this hatred, separate myself from the rest
And stay different, I got it on my own
Hold it down, stood on my pivot, look through it all, trusted myself
And stay consistent, mmm-mmm-mmm
Got to sit back and just listen

[Chorus]
Since a youngin' know I always had to open mind
Can’t express the way I’m feelin', it may take some time
If you don’t do it, who gon' do it for you just to shine?
I painted all the walls to see the bigger picture I define
I run it up, I kept it going, past tense, I was down bad
Losin' focus on defense, protectin' all my spirits
Ain’t noticed on me, mmm-mmm-mmm, aye
Niggas touch a bag, they actin' brand new

[Outro]
I run it up, I kept it goin'
I was down bad losin' focus
