gates music…
oohh… yeah…
we prayed for this life…
through the pain… through the nights…
now we finally alive…
we survived… we survived…
i remember nights… i was losing hope…
dark room… deep thoughts… tryna cope…
no one there… i was on my own…
heart so cold… felt like stone…
had dreams… but they felt so far…
talking to god like “who we are?”
tears on my face… i couldn’t hide…
smiling outside but broken inside…
i was drowning… no one could see…
fighting demons inside of me…
but i stood up… i refused to fall…
now i’m here… yeah i gave my all…
i been down…
i been low…
had no light…
now i glow…
ke be phela… (i’m living…)
ke a gola… (i’m rising…)
i’m living the dream… yeah we living the dream…
everything we prayed for… now it’s closer than it seems…
from the pain to the light… now we shining so bright…
ohh baby… we living the dream…
i’m living the dream… yeah we living the dream…
turned the dark into gold… now we glowing on the scene…
we alive… we believe… now we finally free…
ohh baby… we living the dream…
they see the shine… but they don’t know the scars…
they don’t know the nights i was wishing on stars…
empty pockets… but a heart full of dreams…
now i’m chasing life… nothing what it seems…
friends switched up… i was left behind…
had to find my way… had to clear my mind…
no handouts… i had to grind alone…
now i’m standing here… on a different throne…
mama told me “boy don’t lose your way”
even when it hurts… keep the faith…
now i’m winning… i can finally say…
all the pain… it made me who i am today…
i been lost… i been hurt…
fell down deep in the dirt…
had to rise… had to learn…
now i shine… now i burn…
i’m living the dream… yeah we living the dream…
everything we prayed for… now it’s closer than it seems…
from the pain to the light… now we shining so bright…
ohh baby… we living the dream…
i’m living the dream… yeah we living the dream…
turned the dark into gold… now we glowing on the scene…
we alive… we believe… now we finally free…
ohh baby… we living the dream…
mmmh… yeah yeah…
no one believed… when i said i’ll make it…
they laughed at me… i had to take it…
now i’m rising… i’m elevating…
all the pain… i’m celebrating…
ndo kona… (i am here…)
ndo kunda… (i made it…)
i’m living the dream… (yeah yeah…)
yeah we living the dream…
now the whole world gon’ feel what i mean…
from the pain… to the light…
now we shining so bright…

yeah we living the dream… (we alive…)
