[HOOK - BJ THE CHICAGO KID]
Yeah, I know it gets hard
but we made it this
and we never gonna stop
even when we reach the top
of our dreams
[V1 - TUNJI]
I'm tryna reach the top of my dreams
That's why I'm mapping out the script and slowly plottin' my scenes
They never get the picture, even when they're watchin' that screen
That's why they underestimate me, 'cause I'm not what I seem
I'm quite different - entirely focused on making wise decisions
I'd rather risk a huge mistake than spend my life wishin'
I try to deal with every problem with the right vision
'Cause when you're gone, it's just that coffin that you lie stiff in
Six feet under - makes me wonder
If I could go back in time and try to fix each blunder
That I made when I was younger, way before the hunger
Before these groupie broads was tryna save a brother number
See, I'm achievin' every part of my goals
And I'ma stay the same, no matter how far that I go
I think bright, even though inside I'm dark and I'm cold
Feel the pain in my heart and my soul - but I'm livin' my DREAMS
HOOK
NATTI
At last rap has it's Dr. Parnassus for the masses
living a dream with atlas as my mattress
living a dream 'cause the rent is fantastic
haters get evicted on a daily basis
middle finger notice waved in their faces
let the door hit em where the good Lord split 'em
PS...P players you missing the big picture
get a million inch screen let your dream be seen
the world is a stage let your dream be scene
backdrop and props for the finer things
enjoy the spice of life on your fries and wings
and wash it down with something imported
if domestic ain't the best at making you feel important
aim high, poppin' bottles will get boring
I can have champagne dreams or caviar wishes
or a catfish sandwich with Champagne the stripper
Its my dream
[V3 - DEACON]
Claim a victory for entering this world earth
then play your symphony from city to the rural dirt
beyond hurt, invert your neural confines
I hit the lines like I'm running in the combine
intramural of the mind, drink ya night caps
dream big nigga, play that shit in IMAX
my dream theater's a perpetual climax
make miracles, give me water I'll give you wine back
for troops in IRAQ, Haitians in the Carib
or my Arabs, who keep the faith and wear it like a scarab
dreams prepare ya for living they holdin' key to life
gotta be the sheriff when you have em try to read em right
don't be impressed by things that haunt ya when you sleep at night
just rise above it, right in public, catch an eagle flight
tap that passion that's within ya and just let it breath
I heard it whisper words of wisdom would ya let it be, please.. let it be
[OUTRO - BJ THE CHICAGO KID]
Yeah, I know it gets hard
but we made it this
and we never gonna stop
even when we reach the top X2
of our dreams (top of our dreams) X 4
yeah, yeah, yeah

Tunji is now the CEO of Def Jam, his bars give me chills from him fulfilling his dreams
I’ve listened to hip hop for 35 years and this is the best track I’ve ever heard. I just can’t stop listening to it over the years.
Still here in 2020... FIRE!!!
Ur fire 😍
And on we go until forever
This guys and atmosphere are still carrying 90's hip hop through to those of us that love it, changing it up but still doing the shit we loved for the modern day, so happy I found them years ago and always be one of my top 👌 much respect
He's rapping like his life is on the line...Best song on the album
This is music
This is hip-hop
This song seriously changed me..
"If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it."
:(
real hip-hop isint dead its just buried DEEP undergroud
12 years later this track is still HOT.
god damn i swear they are setting standards for all these other so called artists
this is real music
this is bliss
this is real hip hop
this is real rap
this is life
Still just as goated as when it came out!
Almost 6 years of knowing about Cunninlynguists and this is still one of my favorite songs of all time.
Soooo glad i listened to that first CunninLynguists song that got me hooked :)
How is this song not famous yet
So tunji just became CEO of DEF JAM CONGRATZ BIG HOMIE, from rapper to CEO
So beautiful.. Any time I get down on myself I revisit this masterpiece. 💔
God, I love Oneirology. Much respect from Athens, guys.
Still sounds so clean in 2017!!!!!
Love Kno's production. I'm really feeling this track!!!
cant get enough of this track
2020 corona virus and still sounds GREAT!!!
Man listen to this song, chase your dreams your goals and set out to accomplish them to make life interesting.
Listening to cunninlynguists for over half of my life at this point and it's been an absolute pleasure
CunninLynguists is one of the best Hip-Hop collectives of the generation. Kno is absolutely brilliant behind the boards, and the Deacon's lyricism is top tier. Oneirology was probably the best Hip-Hop album of 2011.
Where the hell is the LOVE button! Love this!
The message is fucking inspiring! Dope! Aspire to be more than I am. Not just for myself, but for my babies. For my wife. For a better future for all of us.
o hvala bogu sa nasih prostora neko da ih slusa!
I completely agree with most comments on here. I like where they are now an the moment I heard them, they instantly became my new favorite hip hop group. I love subnoize souljaz and army of the pharos an these guys have such a unique sound.. I love it.
poetry... love hip hop
These folks make music that cracks the Matrix
More music dudes!!! I'm running out of replays!
One of my 5 most favorite tracks from 2011. Easy.
Does anybody doubt, that CunninLynguists ist the most underrrated Rap-act?
these lyrics are brilliant. Blown away
one love from perth, australia !
Amazing
You're not forgotten
We made it baby!!!
have no idea who this Tunji guy is but he went iiiiin on that fantastic beat
listen to rhythm of the rain by kno, he's in it too
I heard it whisper words of wisdom would ya let it be, please.. let it be
My fav❤️
Started listening to this song in 2011! It’s 2022 and still listening! This song literally describes my life 🙏🙏🙏
Tap that passion that's within you and just let it breathe.
I heard it whisper words of wisdom, would you let it be, please. Let it be.

This song is nuts, I'm diggin me some Cunninlynguists
One of the best fucking songs of 2011. The emceeing is superbly delivered and that synthesizer is so ridiculously infectious.
This is really inspiring, man. I love it!
Buy This! Support the Artists! 13 bucks for hours upon hours of musical mastery.
I love this song oh so much.
Still do.
Tunji is SO underrated, dude's sick
One unrated song... meanwhile those songs they play in the mainstream just sad..
its a sad thought how this album won't be winning album of the year. it deserves best album of the last..shit.. 10 years!
Love to the artists:)
Respect from Banja Luka!
This is such a powerful song.
Triumphant...Love the music. Love the lyrics...just the eeeeeeeee part and r&b in the chorus isnt my favorite genre but still a very meaningful song to me.
Song hit me hard when listening to it today.
I've said this & i'll say it again
Tunji's flow is perfection.
oh well... i have to say it... this is another nominee for the WORLD'S MOST UNDER RATED SONG... along with other tracks from this fine gentleman's band :P (awesome music, keep up the good work, people from all over the world appreciate it)
I love this song.
Such a good song
Gorgeous...
love it..!
Tunji fucking absolutely MURDERED this song. My god when the fuck is the Still Rising EP coming out?
this song makes me want to be a better person. thanks tunji.
Triumphant flow
That beat is Godly.
Switchin Lanes July 2020 Fuck The Virus We Aint Stoppin the Summer Breeze !!! 🖤💯✈

speechless
Still here in 2021
the beat is AMAZIN
the full song is at their website
Oldschool vibes
he used to be in a duo called inverse with toby. their shit was pretty good man i dont know why the broke up but check it out. look up inverse-so far the collection
@shamanmaster7160 right? mac miller has millions of hits, but this song has more heart than any single artist today. this blows me away everytimei listen to tunji's verse. WOW
2021 still hard
MAKE A WISE DECISION....BUY THE ALBUM!
Tunji is insane! But I can't find anything more from him for the most part. Does he have any CD's out or anything that anyone know's of? If so, we should all buy it so he can put out more music. Because... Holy Hell, that was good.
France Here too! Pawwww
Love how I had a trade, which I was trying to pursue into NYC, and now my intelligence is a joke for the rich
What's that intro sample?
Dope 😎
🔥🔥🔥🔥
@jglenellen I think it was an accident. Dude's eyes were watering when the beat dropped and he couldn't tell what button he hit.
I don't know why this song gives me chills every-time I hear it, the chorus is cheesy but I don't care.
Thanks for the info, man. I was looking into that stuff and found out that he also did some solo work and dropped something called the Still Rising EP. I haven't been able to find it anywhere. You know where I could pick it up?
AWESOME BEAT
Damn Tunji's verse was sick.
