Valley of the Dream

Busy in the valley of the dream
Busy tryna' find some relief
I can't pray away the pain
It's a different disease
I ain't fanning the flame
Of the spirit in me
Can't pray away this pain
That's a different disease

Lately I been thinking no use talking if I stay shrinking
So know when I speak just know that I mean it
Forget selling out arenas, I just wanna pens bars
And touch one or two hearts
And in the process, maybe mend my own hardships
And if not I still do this regardless
On my ones or in the hundreds
Gonna run this one day trust this
New flows coming in abundance
I ain't here for the stacks got too many grudges
Manny pac got too many punches
Spoken word like where we started
Just bars no need for the drumkit
Stay grafting sunrise to sunset
Be blunt before I show my sharpness

Busy in the valley of the dream
Busy tryna' find a release
Can't pray away the pain
It's a different disease
A'int, fanning the flame of the spirit in me
Busy in the valley of the dream
Busy tryna' find a release
Can't pray away the pain
It's a different disease
Ain't fanning the flame
Of the spirit in me
Busy in the valley of the dream

I don't know the roads but I know the cliffs
Not blowing smoke I don't roll the spliff, but
If that's you, that's sick
Grew up on Biff and Chip and fifty cent
Wouldn't be here without Eminem
I don't really care what anyone says
Alone or together man I'm on this quest
What you hear on the bars so much more to finesse
I'm going top bins
Man they see the struggle but they still won't stop this
Panic and hustle like pills from the doctors
I swear when they see this they still won't nod to it
In between genres, in between my past and my present
Where the time still haunts us
But there's no time to bottle this
I rise up cuh we know what the posture is

Busy in the valley of the dream
Busy tryna' find a release
Can't pray away the pain
It's a different disease
A'int, fanning the flame of the spirit in me
Busy in the valley of the dream
Busy tryna' find a release
Can't pray away the pain
It's a different disease
Ain't fanning the flame
Of the spirit in me
Busy in the valley of the dream

I just take my time with this though
Every time we speak it's like we climbing through holes
And they ain't seen what we seen
We still creased like we ironing clothes
There's an irony though
Though my eyes are closed
I still see like a child how my mind is open
Plant seeds like through the fire
When the times were hopeless
Nothing was required I just rhyme and hope
Better days someday how time keeps going

Busy in the valley of the dream
Busy tryna' find a release
Can't pray away the pain
It's a different disease
A'int, fanning the flame of the spirit in me
Busy in the valley of the dream
Busy tryna' find a release
Can't pray away the pain
It's a different disease
Ain't fanning the flame
Of the spirit in me
Busy in the valley of the dream
