Lyrics:
Kanye West - I Wonder
Find your dreams come true
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
[chorus]
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means to find your dreams
I've been waiting on this my whole life
These dreams be waking me up at night
You say I think I'm never wrong
You know what, maybe you're right, aight
[chorus]
You say he get on your fucking nerves
You hope that he get what he deserves, word
Do you even remember what the issue is
You just trying to find where the tissue is
You can still be who you wish you is
It ain't happen yet
And that's what the intuition is
When you hop back in the car
Drive back to the crib
Run back to their arms
The smokescreens
The chokes and the screams
You ever wonder what it all really mean
[chorus]
And I'm back on my grind
A psychic read my lifeline
Told me in my lifetime
My name would help light up the Chicago skyline
And that's what I'm
Seven o'clock, that's primetime
Heaven'll watch, God calling from the hot lines
Why he keep giving me hot lines
I'm a star, how could I not shine
How many ladies in the house
How many ladies in the house without a spouse
Something in your blouse got me feeling so aroused
What you about
On that independent shit
Trade it all for a husband and some kids
You ever wonder what it all really mean
You ever wonder if you'll find your dreams

Do you know how chinese bamboos grow?
They are planted and fertilized and watered initially. However, there is no visible growth in the first year. All you see is dirt.
The second year, the same thing is repeated. And no visible changes appear. Just.. a patch of dirt..
Same thing for the third and fourth years.
In the fifth year though, the Chinese bamboo grows. It grows to its full length, more than 50 ft tall!
Change does not happen overnight. Change is a result of consistency, dedication, and patience. Put in the work, and you will be rewarded. Those who are trying to change, do not be disheartened by yourselves. Those who are trying to help others change, do not be frustrated. Everything happens in due time.

when i want the ball, when i want to make the play in the clutch, when i want to be da man.. the one responsible for winning or losing, i feel like i'm stepping up. others believe im being selfish
when i want to share the ball, when i want others to make the play, when i believe in others.. i feel like im a team player, involving everybody. others believe im scared or i dont have the guts or i cant take the pressure.
some ppl just wont let you win in their eyes.
screw them. screw what they think.

a boy at heart appears stoic, emotioness, maybe even scary at times from afar to the uninformed public who have never communicated with him. they do not understand him nor care to because they dont need to. to those who know him, they understand to an extent and do all they can for him, and he is grateful.
when left alone, thoughts plough through his head like a bulldozer. he reflects and is thankful. his eyes start to water.
the lights turn on and everybody files in.
everything fades away. everything returns to normal to the public. nobody sees anything out of the ordinary. the mask reappears and takes over again. he is whoever they think he is. he will be whatever they want him to be.
