Dubs on a Dream

Songtext

[Intro] Yeah, I wrote it down before the sunrise Two letters on the page, one world in my eyes [Verse 1] I had a cracked screen, a borrowed room A beat in my headphones cutting through the gloom Coach said, “Keep your feet where the floor can feel” So I built each step till the paper turned real Mama kept the light on past the last train I promised her the rent would come from a name Not just a wish tucked under my tongue But a whole new life where the work gets sung [Pre-Chorus] If I fall, let the dust know my name If I wait, let the waiting feed the flame I can see it, every door, every sign One more mile and the dream is mine [Chorus] Dubs on a dream, double down on the vision Two hands on the wheel, no room for permission I came from a maybe, now I’m making it mean Put the whole world in the frame with dubs on a dream Dubs on a dream, let the old doubt fade Every little sacrifice got a promise it made When they ask how I got here, I’ll tell ’em what it seemed: Like a long shot turned gold with dubs on a dream [Verse 2] I kept receipts from the nights I went without Every “not yet” made the next move loud Friends at the table, we were splitting one plate Now we split the good news, let it circulate No shortcut, just a calendar full of proof A little less sleep and a little more truth I learned a closed door can sharpen the key And a quiet room can hear who you’re meant to be [Pre-Chorus] If I fall, let the dust know my name If I wait, let the waiting feed the flame I can see it, every door, every sign One more mile and the dream is mine [Chorus] Dubs on a dream, double down on the vision Two hands on the wheel, no room for permission I came from a maybe, now I’m making it mean Put the whole world in the frame with dubs on a dream Dubs on a dream, let the old doubt fade Every little sacrifice got a promise it made When they ask how I got here, I’ll tell ’em what it seemed: Like a long shot turned gold with dubs on a dream [Bridge] For the ones in the back of the room For the ones making space in a borrowed afternoon Keep your name on the work, keep your heart in the scene You don’t need their permission to become what you mean [Final Chorus] Dubs on a dream, double down on the vision Two hands on the wheel, no room for permission I came from a maybe, now I’m making it mean Put the whole world in the frame with dubs on a dream Dubs on a dream, now the whole crew gets paid Every little sacrifice kept the promise it made When they ask how we got here, we’ll tell ’em what it seemed: Like a long shot turned gold with dubs on a dream [Outro] Two letters on the page, one world in our eyes Dubs on a dream, we’re alive
