Intro (Kensa, Soupherb, Glenys):
What it’s like to be living the dream? What it’s like to be living the dream? What it’s like to be living the dream? I can’t wait to know how it feels
What it’s like to be living the dream? What it’s like to be living the dream? What it’s like to be living the dream? I can’t wait to know how it feels
I (Soupherb):
Made it rain, paid to win, no use to continue playing
Pressed reset, wake up again, to lose everything in the morning Still making decisions, real hustlers will accept any offers
Take me closer to a deal or a slot in a gig or a concert
Maybe a crib for the fam to grill some steak and lamb Fill the cooler with juice and booze
Take your time, there's so much to choose All in, left it all to the river to win me the pot
Don't need much cash but enough for making ends meet come to a stop
I'm always broke, not just my wallet but my spirit
I'm only still standing 'cause I have these other gimmicks We be bricking or be swishing like we're wearing 24
First to open the door, last to walk out the floor
I really need to catch my breath
I've been pushing like a bull to have a life with no regrets Is this living to the fullest? None of this is making sense How can I enjoy the harvest if there's nothing to collect? Whoo!
Hook (Kensa & Soupherb):
What it's like to be living the dream?
Nobody livin off the streets, every person gets a meal No imprisonment to bills, aim as high as you can reach Oh, I wish we all had the same means
What it's like to be living the dream?
No peasants, no kings, topple down all regimes Justice is imperative to realize true peace
Oh, I can't wait to know how it feels
II (Kensa & Glenys):
Word up to the fighters in the frontline smashin rogue blocks (Fuck the cops!)
All these lynchin bastards, pay them no trust!
Focus on the matter, too many broken dreams they shattered So go pick up the piano to eliminate that old rust
Keep composin, every minute lost is gold crushed
My vocation is choppin these beats ‘til I find that perfect soul cut We’re fighting for the children from these ignorant grown-ups Who say the arts is a dead-end dream
But they never dreamed of anything for us to go up!
What is a dream if you don’t got the proper means to attain it?
What is a dream if there’s no repose for the working man in the land where you stay in? Impoverished farmers working much harder
This goes to all the blue-collared
Exploited by red tape behind white lies just to blacken out their true colors
I said: Ready, set, and go!
Rats on a race to the corporate ladder The pie in the sky is all that matters Everyone’s searchin the ultimate answer
They pay us a penny and make us believe that the wishing well is true
So we work for a penny and starve and thirst to death while they bear our fruits Damn!

Bridge (Kensa, Soupherb, Glenys):
What it’s like to be living the dream? What it’s like to be living the dream? What it’s like to be living the dream? I can’t wait to know how it feels
What it’s like to be living the dream? What it’s like to be living the dream? What it’s like to be living the dream? I can’t wait to know how it feels
III (Kensa):
The dream is dead The dream is dead Yo, the dream is dead!
‘Cause the reality is...
You couldn't even pay rent if you ain't working day and night shifts Working three jobs to sustain a family of six
Livin the dream is an illusion, only suffering and misery exists
They say that you would reach the top if you were diligent enough You gotta hustle, be belligerent and tough
Then they shame on you if your asking price is vastly high Despite having all the right to do it!
You're slowly getting more desperate to earn commissions So you would settle for terrible work conditions
They say money's in the eye of the beholder
