about

This track borrows heavily from Deku's plight in "My Hero Academia" to frame a few situations I've dealt with in my personal live. The "This ain't just a dream..." refrain embodies my current mindset, as well as the rest of the project.

lyrics

Think I'm strong now but look way back
Tried to move. You people didn't play that
I showed love anytime you'd need support
But then you'd give me props to my face
and laugh at me for sport

I don't what to say when they're around me
Try to be brave, but that confounds me
I just feel afraid, and I'm down see
You all got that praise early
I received that doubt. These

People act so fake to my face
They be smiling
Least I've got my Shotos who don't play
They're about these
Wins and no way
Accolades never found me
Til that one day that I saved everybody


Everybody wasn't there to witness
What I had to do to rescue victims
You're too busy focusing on how flimsy my limbs get
I don't need my name inside your mentions

I just think it's funny how I get your recognition, now
You're too busy trying to be traditional
Acting like if I was not born with this
All of my chances to be great have no existence
I guess I've got to go and hurt for it

Since you've got it easy
you just consider the work boring
Understand that this is mine
I was destined from birth for it
I just had to sweat and get my
Hands up in the dirt for it
You're too busy focused on
What you think you deserve, you're in

The way of the destined
That doesn't mean that I just expect it
That just means that until I have it
There is no resting
I'm so invested
I will never stop
Even once I've become the best

This is my time

This ain't just a dream
Aye
Listen, this is what I eat, sleep, and breathe
Aye
I'ma do it. Doesn't matter what you think
Aye
Anything is possible if you believe
Aye

I said, I said, I said

This ain't just a dream
Aye
Listen, this is what I eat, sleep, and breathe
Aye
I'ma do it. Doesn't matter what you think
Aye
Anything is possible if you believe
Aye

I said, I said, I said

This ain't just a dream
Aye
Listen, this is what I eat, sleep, and breathe
Aye
I'ma do it. Doesn't matter what you think
Aye
Anything is possible if you believe
Aye

This ain't just a dream

Think I'm strong now but look way back
Tried to move. You people didn't play that
I showed love anytime you'd need support
But then you'd give me props to my face
and laugh at me for sport

I don't what to say when they're around me
Try to be brave, but that confounds me
I just feel afraid, and I'm down see
You all got that praise early
I received that doubt. These

People act so fake to my face
They be smiling
Least I've got my Shotos who don't play
They're about these
Wins and no way
Accolades never found me
Til that one day that I saved everybody
