Ever since a little kid
I had dreams I could make it
Trying different little things
Fantasies trying to shake it
I was told many times
To let go of my dreams
As a teen growing up
Trying schemes
Selling weed
In the streets
Enemies
The Police
Trying to duck them
Before they see
Yes, I can't afford the fee
This is temporary see
Trying to make my money green
'Cause this ain't the life for me
I have certain fantasies
Many different goals to reach
Many missions to achieve
'Cause my motto is to seek
Another route not to repeat
'Cause I come from the bottom
Even though I did some crime
My intentions were to blossom
If you ever see me
Creeping very deep
In the ghetto in the streets
Just remember that my deeds
Were never to mislead
I just had to go and feed
Empty pockets with the green
Stepping on the clouds
Stepping on the clouds
I open up my eyes
Sitting by your side
Stepping on the clouds
Stepping on the clouds
Even though the world is a mess
Not really by your side
Against all odds
Will I ever make it, god
Is the question that I ask
But I get no reply
So I put this aside
'Cause I come to realize
That I'm on my own here
Way deep inside
Gotta face my own fears
Maybe back in time
With my innocent mind
I was able to believe
It was never the crime
Or the sorrow and grief
It was the tomorrow
What removed the naive
Education came
And it came to conceive
Dusting off my knees
And I rise to my feet
That's reality
Well, at least it's for me
And here I am now
Looking straight ahead, see
I'm a man of peace
Yes, I carry my piece
That's just in the streets
Where I go and make green
Why don't you come and see
That I really grind, breathe
Inhale deep inside
'Cause I'm after the key
Stepping on the clouds
Stepping on the clouds
I open up my eyes
Sitting by your side
Stepping on the clouds
Stepping on the clouds
Even though the world is a mess
Not really by your side
Penitentiaries
What is promised to me
Chased by enemies
Yes, I mean the police
Will I ever see
A better day
Shit, I'm waiting to breathe
Cursed by family
Dark and gloomy destiny
But if I could be me
This is what it would be
A life where I don't need
To stress about green
'Cause making ends meet
Is a life of misery
And it seems that's all there was
In my family tree
I refuse repeat
Of the same old history
So this is my way
My attempts to escape
Chasing better days
Please, don't get in my way
'Cause I got a gun
And I'm ready to spray
Once upon a time
I was just a kid playing
But them days are gone
I'm no longer a saint
Homie, I'm a product
Of the sorrow and pain
But I'm a mission
To see happiness again
Stepping on the clouds
Stepping on the clouds
I open up my eyes
Sitting by your side
Stepping on the clouds
Stepping on the clouds
Even though the world is a mess
Not really by your side
