Name: About a Dream
Duration: P00H03M27S
Description: Kadesh wrote this song while flying to his first MAGfest on February 18, 2016. This was also his last day at Cerner Corporation, hence the first line of the hook. This was not Desh's last day as an 8-5 employee, as he would start work at a fintech startup two weeks after this song was written.

lyrics

I quit my job and then I hopped onto a plane
I quit my job and then I hopped onto a plane
nowadays my life is office to a stage
nowadays my life is office to a stage
tell me bout that dream, won't you tell me bout a dream tho
tell me bout that dream won't you tell me bout a dream tho
holla at ya boy when I step up on the scene tho
I hit up your city now I'm wildin out so mean tho

See me rapping with my horn these people be like who is here
came in like a zakku suit or like I rock maneuver gear
I'm not taking names I'd rather transform the whole mood in here
got y'all saying "A" like y'all stay acing your school careers

Shoot in broad day, if you talking bout that breeze though
life got me feeling fantastic like Mr. Reed, bro
Set a couple goals last year and happened to exceed those
Alabama bred, making noise in KCMO

Paper ain't that long, but flex game is mad strong
way I'm living I can make that bread last long
great existence my ambition's always past "go"
confidence and arrogance I walk the line like Cash, though!

I quit my job and then I hopped onto a plane
I quit my job and then I hopped onto a plane
nowadays my life is office to a stage
nowadays my life is office to a stage
tell me bout that dream, won't you tell me bout a dream tho
tell me bout that dream won't you tell me bout a dream tho
holla at ya boy when I step up on the scene tho
I hit up your city now I'm wildin out so mean tho

Why you stopping son? Why you, why you stopping son
9 to 5 in still but that music dropping son
always grinding, y'all can have contentment, I am not the one
this is the life of an ambitious Otaku, son/

I be in this noise, at these shows writing lyrics though
rock with hipsters, thugs, preps and nerds, I appear with all
they all show me love, that diverse individual
they all show me love that diverse individual

I told y'all that I wasn't going anywhere
lend me all your power like the spirit bomb's collected here
standing there for hours while this mic collects this energy
staying with the plan, this is not about contingency

I love this whole album: It just captures a wide range of experiences and affects the listener with a wide range of emotions. I first liked this album because of the nerdcore elements, but I fell in love when I realized that these verses were true poetry, speaking to a deeper truth and beauty unlike most hip-hop I've heard. "A Poet" exemplifies this with its bittersweet message about how poetry is not valued. This is the first hip-hop tune I've ever shed a tear over. Take a bow, Mega Ran. platinumazure
