Yo, this track is dedicated, [Incomprehensible]
From Long Beach, California
It's harder to leave without the courage
To follow a personal dream

Everyone starts with the sweetest dreams
Livin' long life, livin' beautiful scenes
Make a million dollars wearin' gold an' jewels
Drive a big black Benz or a Carribean cruise

Or maybe you dream that you just can't lose
Or playin' the blues is the path that you choose
Perhaps your dream of goin' back to nature's plan
An' just live off the land an' be a natural man

Or of a beautiful girl, who's holdin' your hand
Lovin' the one you're with, with her beautiful tan
Like you're holdin' the spliff that layin' in your hand
Or you dream of playin' bands from Electric Lady Land
Riffs just like Jimi Hendrix

Are you feelin' the feelin' that I'm feelin'?
Dreams are like fish, you gots to keep on reelin'
Are you feelin' the feelin' that I'm feelin'?
Dreams are like fish, you gots to keep on reelin'

'Stop daydreamin''
That's what my teachers used to say
While they kick a bunch of crap that I forgot anyway
Education's important to make a man complete
But everythin' I learned in school
I learned again on the street

Now my time is booked 'cause I've got the look
An' when I walkin' on my path, you know I can't be shook
Stay alert in this day, you have to go for yours
The force conspires to help brothers
That help others open doors

Wars an' battles rage round us everyday
While the real troopers keep our heads up while we play
This game of chance that they busy callin' life
Can be quite a disappointin' ride

You can't blame the youth an' you can't blame God
Who you gonna blame when the dog's in the yard?

Are you feelin' the feelin' that I'm feelin'?
Dreams are like fish, you gots to keep on reelin'
Are you feelin' the feelin' that I'm feelin'?
Dreams are like fish, you gots to keep on reelin'

Wisdom asks, 'Are you ready for this?'
Experience says, 'The kid can't miss'
Professional advice got you thinkin' twice
Don't roll the dice if you can't pay the price

Now The Omen says, 'Walk towards the light”
The first impulse is free an' it's always right
Doubt suggests what you think you can achieve
You're just a Philly kid from South 2 Street

Rappin' blues an' playin' guitar
While I'm chillin', sky's [the limit], I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Makin' funky music, hit records are explodin'
The free wind is blowin'

Higher than the liars, meltin' in the fire
How high can you ride?
The greatest victory it was when we believe in legends
Gettin' busy like the man, they call, 'School's in session'

Addressin' all you people like I know who you are
'Cause streets are universal an' the world is wide
But no matter what you're runnin' from, you just can't hide
If you seek the truth, the truest kid you'll find

So trace your tracks, a fact's a fact
Three aces one king an' a one eyed jack
You ain't goin' no where until it's time to leave
Your mind's just like a story that I'm startin' to read

Are you feelin' the feelin' that I'm feelin'?
Dreams are like fish, you gots to keep on reelin'
Are you feelin' the feelin' that I'm feelin'?
Dreams are like fish, you gots to keep on reelin'

Reelin', rollin', reelin', rollin'
Reelin', rollin', reelin', rollin'
Roll away
Reelin', rollin', reelin', rollin'
Reelin', rollin', reelin', rollin'
Roll away

Reelin', rollin', reelin', rollin'
Reelin', rollin', reelin', rollin'
Roll away
Roll away
