A lot of people talk, but they ain't never real
They really hate to see who get ahead of them
I encourage the kids trying to better them
'Cause everybody in the hood always telling them
To stay on the block
Go and move your rock
They don't speak on the cases
In the time you be facing
Everything gets deceived
Ain't no love in the streets
They gon' want you to win until
they ain't getting a piece, so

So chase your dreams and goals (Goals)
'Cause it's dark along that road (Road)
I say chase your dreams and goals (And goals, and goals)
'Cause it's dark, it's dark
it's dark along that road (Along that road)

I really hate to see you lose
Hate to see you down
Hate to see you give your all, and still don't make it out
Hate to see you in the field and then up out of bounds
Same people said they love you be the ones to help you drown
I'm tryna drop knowledge, I learned a lot from pain
Instead of dropping bodies, just sit back and wait
'Cause if they did wrong, I promise, karma on the way
You may think you safe, but you ain't never safe, no, no
It's lonely on that road
It's known to kill you slow
Every man is on their own
And I'm not gonna lie
but them niggas ain't gon' ride for you when you're gone

So chase your dreams and goals
(So chase your dreams and goals)
'Cause it's dark along that road (It's dark along that road)
I say chase your dreams and goals
(Chase your dreams and goals)
'Cause it's dark, it's dark
it's dark along that road (It's dark along that road)
