about

"Broken Dreams" was written and recorded while I was attending college at Haskell Indian Nations University, Fall 2019. In October, I found the instrumental titled "Smoke Screen" on the BeatStars app from a favorite producer of mine, VybeHitz.

I recorded my vocals in the dorms right on campus. Once I had my song mixed and mastered. I tried a release strategy that would help to grow my Facebook artist page to reach my first 1,000 likes.

"Broken Dreams" was released September 10th, 2020.

lyrics

Yeah

You know everybody’s gotta have dreams

Even if they never come true



Momma always told me stay in school

Daddy always told me I was cool

And they always said that I could be anything that I ever put my mind to

So I started to write

Then I got myself a mic

I was working on my craft

Like every single night

Signed into the internet

and made myself a website

Yeah I did it up big

Got some plays and likes

Now my family look at me like I’m a fool

Cuz I’d rather live my life out by the pool

Maybe if I knew about the struggles that we faced would that make me wana follow rules

Man I’d like to think not

Cuz I’m caught up in my ways

So caught up in my dreams

That I’m caught up in a daze

I’m losing track of time

Losing track of my mind

I’m losing touch with everything

I think I’ll be just fine so



Tell the people lies

As we sing them all to sleep again

Tell them that we love them

Tell them that we’ll always be their friend

Show them that we care

Show them that we’ll always be right there

Chasing broken dreams

I guess life just isn’t what it seems



Yeah I guess life just isn’t what it seems

(Aye)

So we tell our kids to chase they dreams

(Aye)

And we tell them all to face they fears

(Uhh)

But as time goes on they taste the tears

(Yo)

Cuz things can fall apart in days

(That's tough)

And all that shit adds up to years

(That’s time)

So we gotta try our best to thrive

(Gotta try my best)

Making sure we all survive

Tryna make these ends meet (aye)

I just wanna see my people eat

and I know things don’t always go as planned

Now that I’m old enough I understand

(Yeah)

It’s so much easier to tell a lie

When no one really gives a fuck (Bitch)

Cuz at the end of the day

No one really gives a fuck

No one really gives a fuck so



Tell the people lies

As we sing them all to sleep again

Tell them that we love them

Tell them that we’ll always be their friend

Show them that we care

Show them that we’ll always be right there

Chasing broken dreams

I guess life just isn’t what it seems



Tell the people lies

As we sing them all to sleep again

Tell them that we love them

Tell them that we’ll always be their friend

Show them that we care

Show them that we’ll always be right there

Chasing broken dreams

I guess life just isn’t what it seems
