Lyrics of the song ‘I dreamed it’
I dreamed it
I dreamed it
I am a very honest man, I like the best
I don’t lack women, nor money, nor love
Riding on my horse, through the mountains I go
The stars and the moon, they tell me where I’m going
Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay, love
Oh, my brunette of my heart
I dreamed it (ay-ay-ay-ay, oh-ay, love)
I dreamed it (ay-ay, brunette of my heart)
Sakura, yeah, yeah, yeah
I dreamed about it, whether I wanted to or not, since I was a child in the quarry.
When I cried all night long
Thinking if this shit happened to me
When the teachers laughed at me for not having a future at school
When the only thing that mattered was that the pirate Spoti was
It fills me to see their looks of fury, I trust myself like Ilia Topuria
This is not arrogance, it’s just that I know that I am great
And since I’m doing better than them, they disown me
In one year I went from being a promise to filling a Wizink not being a surprise
There are three of us, but we ordered so many dishes
They have to give us another table
I dreamed that I would fill my city’s stadium, son of a bitch, I did it
I fulfilled everything I said, pride and my ambition demand it of me
I have shown that nothing is impossible
And since God sees everything, well, he blesses me
I’m laughing at everything they say
At the Alexander, taking Van Winkle
And when they try to laugh at me because of the little bird
They know I’m a millionaire, how come I’m nobody?
You piece of shit, can’t you see me filling stadiums?
Seriously, don’t you feel ridiculous saying in the middle of 2024
I wouldn’t be anyone without Auto-Tune, bro?
I guess we’ll never know, Sakura tour, 250 to the show
Don’t throw me if your account is broke, they have no shame
With 21 and the world in my hands, with the respect of veterans
I pilot, but God is the one who guides, that’s why I never say I made it
I always say “we did it”
I feel like El Matador, I take care of mine, my family
I always keep my word, I am not envious
Pride where I come from, I can never forget it
Now I have an Aston Martin and a house by the sea
I have everything I want, in my dreams I lived it
I do not choose my destiny, God wanted it that way
Of course I know fear, I can’t deny it to you
I came to be a legend, everyone will remember me
Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay, love
Oh, my brunette of my heart
Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay, love
Oh, my brunette of my heart
This album is going to be number one in Spain
And I say it before it is
I’m like Ilia, putting 15-0 before the fight
I don’t care who doesn’t believe me
Well, the one who has to trust me is me.
And with that, I can against anyone
