about

After so many songs I’ve written, I decided to release this as my first song because it marks my goal in this business that I want to be reminded of every time I hear the song. Especially on those days when I just feel like giving up, they come once in a while. This song is about an actual dream that I had, one that I remember very vividly as if it was yesterday, a dream I’m probably never going to forget. In this dream, I had found myself in the middle of the crowd during the grammy awards ceremony. Everybody was dressed so nicely and very formally, sitting down watching somebody that was performing at the Grammys on the stage. There I was very confused about where I was and how I found myself there. I was

underdressed, very casually, feeling out of place until I looked up to the front at the stage. There was this guy performing in a white angelic tuxedo with a hoodie covering his face, it was so bright that you could barely see him. So I decided to try to walk to the front of the venue to see who it was. As I tried to make my way to the front, security guards noticed me and so they came after me trying to get me out of there without the crowd noticing. So there I was navigating through the lanes in the venue, skipping past Grammy winners and nominees to try and get to the stage.

After a while, I finally got to the stage and the guy that was performing noticed me approaching him so he jumped off the stage and continued performing his song among the crowd who were now suddenly standing and dancing.

He slowly tried to get away from me still disguised in this hoodie, I reached out my arm and touched him on the shoulder and he suddenly stopped performing and just stood there facing away. After I touched this Grammy winner the security decided they had enough, so they came and tackled me down. They stood me up and the guy that was performing suddenly turned and faced me, revealing himself, and I was in shock. It was me. He grinned then turned around and disappeared into the crowd, then I woke up from the dream. This song is exactly about this dream I had. I hope it gives you the same energy it gave me while creating and recording this song.

lyrics

ntro:
Tell me that you not gone (oh nah)
(Ladies and Gentlemen this is Mr. Flex3r Stepping on the mic)
Going somewhere you belong (yeah oh nah)
(M.W.P.4)
But you vanish in the dawn (yeah on nah)
(This is for the Venture Time Travelers)
Become all that I am now (nah oh nah)

Chorus:
Always dreaming of these moments when you tell me that you not long gone (yeah)
White suit everybody standing clapping it was so formal (huh)
When I tried to follow, looking at me, standing and you said no more (huh)
I remember Grammy winners right next to you it was so normal (huh)

Verse 1:
Always dreaming of these moments when you tell me that you not gone
But you leaving when you see me coming all of a sudden you going somewhere you belong nah
Never sleeping, waiting for the morning when I wake up but you vanish in the dawn yeah
Kept on chasing all the shadows hoping they gone lead me to become all that I am now

Bridge:
Ahhh tell me where you’ve gone
Ahhh ahhh ahhh
Tell me where you’ve gone, no more

Chorus:
Always dreaming of these moments when you tell me that you not long gone (yeah)
White suit everybody standing clapping it was so formal huh (huh)
When I tried to follow, looking at me, standing and you said no more (huh)
I remember Grammy winners right next to you it was so normal (huh)

Verse:
When you gone everybody gone be looking for me
Digging and they digging, put the gossip on the surface
When the
time is coming you’ll be eating what you give and some more
Just remember all the promises you making
Why is the reason that I’m winning a major problem that you facing
All the reasons that you hate me are the reasons that they love me, sorry
Gotta break it to you, hope you don’t condemn me
All these moments I been searching, this is the moment that Lord gave it to me

Bridge
Ahhh tell me where you gone
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh
Tell me where you gone, no more

Chorus:
Always dreaming, Always Always
Always of these moments when you tell me that you not long gone (yeah)
White suit everybody standing clapping it was so formal (huh)
(M.W.P.4)
When I tried to follow, looking at me, standing and you said no more (huh)
(This is for the Venture Time Travelers)
I remember Grammy winners right next to you it was so normal (huh)
