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)
