I'd like to welcome everybody to The Key to My Dreams
This tape right here is the outcome of all my hard work in the past couple of years
I want everyone to feel good when they listen to this tape
So sit back, relax, and feel that vibe, yeah
Lettin' everyone know I'm ready
Even though some things are tempting
I'm ready for the life
I'm ready for the lights
Ever since that Cali Grown
Been grinding on the low
Now it's time that I let it shine
Bout to take everything in sight
Chorus:
I'm going all in
I'm grinding on the low
Never chasing any girls
Only chasing all my goals
I'm chasing, chasing
Yeah you know I'm chasing, chasing
Yeah you know I'm chasing, chasing
I'm chasing that paper
I be gettin paid, but I'm trying to get made
Trying to do what I want when I'm in my own state
When I'm in my own lane, trying to keep my bank safe
In the westside, getting love from the eastside
And you know that I'm alright
So fly when I walk by
Steady on another one, ready for the level up
Bank getting bigger every minute cause I'm coming up
Chorus:
I'm going all in
I'm grinding on the low
Never chasing any girls
Only chasing all my goals
I'm chasing, chasing
Yeah you know I'm chasing, chasing
Yeah you know I'm chasing, chasing
I'm chasing that paper
I don't wanna be living this ordinary lifestyle
My mind's already set on my dreams
So I'm grinding now to live that good life later
Now I'm not saying that it's gonna be easy
I'm just saying that it's gonna be worth it
If I put the work in now, in the end, it'll all be worth it
I'll be taking more risks to be living like this
If I'm never taking risks, I'll be saying what if
Thinking what if is just never on my mind
If I'm chasing what I love it'll come when it's time
So in the meantime, just trying to survive
Just trying to get by, got that money on mind
Only chasing bills, never chasing any dimes
That's the life of a California hustler, alright
Never chasing any girls, no, no, no, no, no
Never chasing any girls, no, no. no, no, no
Only chasing that paper
Only chasing my dreams
Welcome to, The Key to My Dreams

|

Verse 1:
I be doing work getting paper so clean
And every rhyme I write, I'm getting closer to know my dreams
It's so serene, the same ol' lean when I had those rips and tears all up in my jeans
And now I'm getting love from people that I've never seen
But now I'm fitted and people think that I came up and changed
But the only thing that's changed is the name on my jeans, yeah
And I'm still sippin' Hennessy, I still got that energy
Just tell me if you feeling me
And if you feeling me, it's time that we roll
Yeah you know what I want, when the bass go dumb
My feet go numb, I do this alone
I sip Corona, while I'm zoning
Trying to master my plan
These haters folding while I'm going
I ain't giving a damn
I'm on my grind and in my mind, I do the best that I can
I want that light, I want that shine
I'm never down in my bed
So if you mind, I'm out for mine, just executing my plan
I got these dreams, I got these scenes, that be all up in my head
Chorus:
I never feel alone
I just do things on my own
I'm grinding 'til I'm gone
Catch me slippin'? No you won't
Yeah I'm in my zone
Yeah I'm in my zone
If I don't pick up my phone, then you know that I'm on
Verse 2:
Yeahhh I feel so grown
21 but I'm feeling old
Say that I've been gone
I just tell them that in my zone
Cause I don't smoke as much
And I don't drink as much
Saying that I've lost my touch
But this grinding is a must
I'm stressing through the day
Cause it's working over play
If I go the other way
Then my life'll stay the same
So now I'm in my zone
And no I ain't feeling alone
I'm turning off my phone
Cause I know what I want
Chorus:
I never feel alone
I just do things on my own
I'm grinding 'til I'm gone
Catch me slippin'? No you won't
Yeah I'm in my zone
Yeah I'm in my zone
If I don't pick up my phone, then you know that I'm on

The Key to My Dreams
Chorus:
You know on my grind

Yeah, when I'm rollin' in my '64
Up and down the coast, letting everyone know
That I, put my city on my back, with the raps, boom kack, now every, everybody feeling that uh

I let the ladies let go, inhale all the indo
Had my eyes on the prize, on a '64, ever since my gramps started calling me General
Candy paint, gold spokes, not to show 'em that I'm stuntin'
But to show 'em that my dreams now be coming yeah
Top down, this is more than a ride
This is my prize to show my hard work over pride
Cali cruisin, shit I got my mind set
Nobody got my mindset

And I'm coming from America's Finest
One step from the top, is the world mine yet?
Chorus:
You know on my grind
It's just a matter of time
I know I've made it big
When I'm rollin' in my '64, rollin in my '64

Prove it, g-funk thang is a movement
New shit, put me on top, yeah cool whip
They tryna bring me down too
So now I be juking
Roll by, they love how I lean
But everything in life ain't always what it seems
So you gotta keep pushing til the end of that road
When you bout to give up, look how far you've gone
It could take years to walk a mile in my shoes
Cause I'm living too fast, never looking at my rearview
Staying on my path cause I'm knowing what I want
This road is too long
But I know I gotta stay strong

Woke up this morning, feeling brand new
Coming full circle, 'cause I know what I gotta do
Feeling alright, feeling okay
Got my J's on and I'm ready for today
Cause it's time I let you go
I've been waiting for too long
Just for you to change
Now I see that you're in my way
You've been blocking my shine

That I handle all this pain
Baby I'm the one who got away
Chorus:
Cause I don't need you anymore

I been going back and forth, thinking of you
Brand new cause I'm doing what a rebel will do
Now what, do you think I'm a regular dude?
Shit, I know I'm going places

Just think of all the times I was there for you
When someone broke your heart, I used my words as glue
I did more than your man did
Your mind never expanded
Looking past me, now you wish that you had it, uh
And the day that you switch in my lane
I'll be going so fast, there ain't no way that you catching me
Gone, blowing up my phone
Yesterday I would've called back, but naw

Flipped the script so hard, I got fish above me
And birds in the sea, do you finally see me?
Too late cause now I found a girl who would die for me

Cause my heart can't take the pain

Verse 1:
When I was just a little man, watching Michael jam
I'd be ballin everyday, I knew I had a plan
Working on my shot, ballin kids on my block
Had a dream to be a pro, but didnt have the drive to the top
So I got a new dream, and a new scene
Think I learned my lesson so now I'm going all in
I'm puttin work in, money is so evident
All these bills on my desk soon'll be irrelevant
Tryna get hella rich, that's not the point of it
The point is to live the good life to the fullest tip
There ain't nobody working harder than me
Not my friends or my enemies
I'm locked to what I wanna be

And I ain't trippin bout how long its gonna take me
Believing in my dreams til the day that money save me

So now I'm in my groove
They tryna upset my mood
Why they tryna do me so wrong
And I don't understand this game
But I gotta take the pain
Now I know nobody feelin' the same
I love the blood, sweat, and tears
When I overcome my fears
And all my friends they think I'm insane
Cause I be working all day
No time to parlay
But they know that I'm just chasing my dreams
Chorus (x2):
Just keep on grinding
Just keep on pushing
Let 'em know that you want it
Cause almost ain't enough
Just keep on moving
There ain't no losing
There ain't no stoppin
Cause almost ain't enough

Verse 1:
Yeah the dreams that I got
Man they all something vivid
And I won't stop the hustle 'til the day that I live it
And the ladies lead me on, but that's another song
Yeah they tryna get me off, but damn I stay on
And damn I stay strong cause I'm bound to be wrong
So now I'm passing everything, my past is long gone
I took my first step when I made my first track
And my dream only ends when I get that last plaque
Flashback to the days when I didn't have scrap
Now the kid coming back, put Diego on the map
And how sick is that, a brown kid that raps
And at the same time putting Cali on his back
And yes I mean that, this hate don't mean jack
Can't stop, won't stop, I sip and lean back
I spit and feel that, my rhymes are bean bags
When I'm kicking mean raps, believe that, you need that
(Need that, need that, need that, need that)
Chorus:
Til I get my mom a crib, man I won't stop
Til I get my dad a whip, man I won't stop
Til I get my girl a ring, man I won't stop

Til I see my homies smile, man I won't stop
Til I walk that last mile, man I won't stop
I'mma be here for a while, man I won't stop
Won't stop, wo-won't stop, wo-won't stop
Verse 2:
They be smoking, they be rolling
But I can't, 'cause I'm chosen
Got my dreams in my hand
And I'm grinding when I can
So they tell me that I'm dreaming

And I'm feeling like I'm on top
And I know I won't stop
(Won't stop, won't stop, won't stop, won't stop)
Chorus:
Til I get my mom a crib, man I won't stop
Til I get my dad a whip, man I won't stop

Verse 1:
Up in my whip, driving 'round town
See the city lights and I know that I'm about to be on
That I'm about to be on
Windows half down, Carter II on
Thinking 'bout my life, I ain't thinking 'bout anything wrong
'Bout anything wrong
Okay my mind is elevated but naw I can't be faded
I be thinking 'bout my time and life and how I take it
Got my left hand on the wheel and my right hand on the gear
Man I'm creepin' on a come up, it's about to be my year aye
Chorus:
Driving 'round town, honey by my side
The moon got me thinking, but I'm feeling too good like ayeee
Got me feeling like ayeee
City lights on, doing my thang
Cruising down the boulevard, got me switching out of lanes like ayeee
Got me switching like ayeee
Verse 2:
Okay my mind's on point when I cruise down slow
Hit you back when I get down low
I kick those flows 'til I got no more
It's how I do when I'm on the road
I'm gone, I'm dialing off Patron
I text you back, when I don't
Then you know that I'm on when I'm in my zone
It's how I roll, let's go
I tell you how I'm leaning and how your girl be creeping
She be with you in the morning, but she be riding in the evening
You sleeping and thinking, that she double shifting on the weekends
But even your closest homies know she got a valid reason
Let me tell you how I'm riding
When that breeze got me vibing
I be going 69 with my seat half reclining
And I'm gone to the top, man I can't be stopped
When I get that drop, two switch and hop
Cruising for a minute then I'm back to that Cali rock ah
Chorus (2x):
Driving 'round town, honey by my side
The moon got me thinking, but I'm feeling too good like ayeee
Got me feeling like ayeee
City lights on, doing my thang
Cruising down the boulevard, got me switching out of lanes like ayeee
Got me switching like ayeee

Livin' in the Fast Lane
03:32
|
|||
Chorus:
Livin' in the fast lane, spending all this money
And you know I'm getting honeys like it ain't no thang
'Til my last breath, 'til my last check
And I'm going full speed, no regrets
You already know, you already know
Time to get it on, time to get it on
Livin' in the fast lane, feeling no pain
It don't matter where we going, I'mma do it my way
Verse 1:
I'm on the interstate and I be in my state
Making moves and living life, there ain't no time to wait
So I, keep my wheel steady, with my eyes heavy
'Cause I'm never sleeping, I be waiting 'til the game ready
With every chance I get, I'm close to making it
And when I make it, I'mma buy a whip for the sake of it
And I'm looking at my rearview and ain't nobody near you
My dreams are coming closer than they appear to
So I'mma work it out, ain't this what life's about
Taking chances to the top, man I'm tryna see it out
Chorus
Verse 2:
Yeah you think I'mma stop, but I'll never stop
I'm in the fast lane, listening to Biggie knock
I got you hypnotized, I got 'em energized
Bringing something to the coast they haven't seen since Doggystyle
A little G-Funk, Blake Griffin slam dunk
I'm going for the win, fourth down, naw we never punt
Friday morning and you knowing I be grinding out
When Friday night comes you know that I be going out
'Cause I'm living both sides of that spectrum
Knock a track out like a dime, to the next one
I'm living reckless, checking off my checklist
She took me to the back, now she tugging on my necklace
Restless, trying to live better than your best wish
Homie I'm the next kid to show you how the West is
90 on the freeway, yet to play my best game
20 moves ahead of everybody, that's a checkmate
Chorus(x2):
Livin' in the fast lane, spending all this money
And you know I'm getting honeys like it ain't no thang
'Til my last breath, 'til my last check
And I'm going full speed, no regrets
You already know, you already know
Time to get it on, time to get it on
Livin' in the fast lane, feeling no pain
It don't matter where we going, I'mma do it my way
Outro:
Yeah I'mma do it my way
I don't care what you say
Man I do it for me
And I'm in my own lane
Through the shine or the rain
That's the game I play
Tell me bring it on back
But I'm on the right track
What you want from me
So I'm riding everyday
Livin' in the fast lane
No matter what you tell me

04:08
|
|||
Chorus:
Wake up in the morning, the sun in my eyes
I wanna sleep in, but it's time to rise and grind
I'm feeling kind of lazy 'cause last night was just too crazy
But that party mode is gone, it's time I turn it on
It's time to rise and grind (it's time to rise and grind)

'Cause losing never ain't an option to me
I'm just trying to be the best for my baby and me
And we bumping those oldies, haters trying to hold me
Think I do this for myself, I do it for the homies
It's hard grinding everyday in the sunshine
So I keep my grind locked when I want mine
If I don't hit you back then you know why
'Cause I'm on my 9 to 5 just trying to get by
Get by, ain't no time just to get high
And my dreams are coming fast, can I slow time?
'Cause the only way's down when you at the top
So I'm thanking God everyday for the life I got
Chorus:
Wake up in the morning, the sun in my eyes
I wanna sleep in, but it's time to rise and grind

Verse 2:
Bumping Bone Thugs, trying to get that paper man
Not a paper boy, but I'm throwing paper every way
Ain't no time to be wasting away
So I'm living every second like I won't see the next day
No rest days, looking for the best days
Phone blowing up when they hear that West Wednesday
Never overlooking all the love that I get
In the blink of an eye my whole life could be checked
Like that, and I'm never looking back
'Cause I'm on the right track, chasing dreams that I have
Yeah, if you wanna roll with me
Better let me know 'cause I'm taking off as soon as the wind blow
Wake up in the morning and I'm going with the flow
'Cause I'm rising and grinding without any endo
And when that sun shine through my window
That's my cue to get up and multiply my dough oh
Chorus:
Wake up in the morning, the sun in my eyes
I wanna sleep in, but it's time to rise and grind
I'm feeling kind of lazy 'cause last night was just too crazy

Let Everything Be
03:09
|

No more worries
About the stories
And everything that I hear
My God has a plan
So why am I trippin' now?
I'll just let everything be
All these thoughts that are on my mind
Complaining, asking why
But everything'll be just fine
I got these ladies in my ride
I'm turning to that guy
That never wants to settle down
But all the good things come in time
So right now I'm on my grind
These doubters man they gettin' no mind
Pushing off all the bullshit to the side
Gettin' dimes at the end of the night
Oh yeah I think I'm gonna be fine
Yeah pursuing happiness, it's a matter of time
I'm on my Will Smith grind 'til the day that I die
In the ride bumping Cudi got me feeling so high
Nate Dogg influenced you can never deny
Mostly everything in life is just out of your hands
You gotta go with you have until you follow the plan
I keep my head held high and my middle finger down
Cause I let karma to the dirty work when I'm down
In my town, just cruising around
Bumping G-Funk sounds in that Cali sunshine
Until I'm world renowned, owww
Now the crowd's gettin' loud, and my heart's pumping faster now with each and every sound, blaowww
I get lost trippin' over all these little things
All these little beams shining on my biggers dreams
I keep my eyes on the prize, ladies in my ride
If I start catchin' feelings then I'm back on my grind
Cause I ain't got no time to be playing these games
I'm on my paper chase trying to finish this race
I stopped all my worrying and started feeling confident
Now my dreams are miles away
I'm waking up saying ohhh
With a girl in my bed like whoaaa
Last night was good to me, I see
Right now I'm having fun
No more looking for the one
Cause eventually she'll be here with me
Just let everything
Just let everything
Just let everything be
Everything
Everything
Everything
Just let everything be

The West Is On
03:30
|

Chorus:
The West is on, you gon’ react
Cause you know how we do when we killin’ them tracks
We put it on, we on the map
We was gone for a minute now we bringing it back
The West is on, we stay relaxed
Cause ain’t nothing better when we kicking it back
We put it on, that Cali rap
We gon’ party all night so bring the bottles to the back
Verse 1:
Okay that Western rap is back on the map
With a swag too phat, like Kool G Rap
I keep that, keep that, and you know I lean back, lean back
But I gotta keep my game, build up my name
It’s a West Coast thang, we stay in flames
The dopest strain in Cali green, LA maintains and the Bay’s insane
Y-y-yeah coming from that town
Where the cheese and the breeze just stay so right
My plane’s in flight, my dreams in sight
And I wanna hit that stage and mic

And yeah she riding too with six tattoos with the powder blue

And my game's so stone cold, wet like a raincoat, play me back like that in the slo-mo

Now he's stuck with the wrong girl, once was a homegirl, looking back then like damn that was one girl
Now she feeling me by blowing trees in the breeze, now enemies tryna get my chick
