about

"Won Dream" is a living mantra;
An oath of confidence in the face of trial,
Spirit during times of uncertainty,
and Victory when all others claim loss.

Your greatest battle has already been Won the moment you intentionally start walking in your Dream!

lyrics

Effswell - "Won Dream"
Written by J.A. Cross

(INTRO)
Man... I remember back when I was 1
Even then I knew 2 things
The only way is UP
EXCEPT when giving up
On DREAMS

(VERSE)
Yeah
First off, my “Black Life” is important
More than
Police Forces and Jordan’s
Shoes my kin kills kin for; we’re hurtin’
Please stay woke and alert when certain
DREAM-killers tell you that there’s MORE than a curtain
A Wizard of Oz façade and a kerchief
A couple of slobs at odds over corporate greed
Instead of feeding those in need?
I heard all it takes is 
ONE
Matchstick to burn down a forest
And a million matchsticks are made from one tree
Basically all I’m saying’s if you think you’re insignificant
You’re NOT, you are HOT
Burn this motherf—— down ’til your
DREAM
Is more than what you see when you sleep
RIP to being “fake deep”
That’s how its gotta be ’til your name is on the deed & the lease
And you’re a mountain with two feet underneath
No I’m not the only
ONE
Of my kind but I’m one of a kind
Drop gems without diamonds in my mine
A girl’s best friend; One Jane at a time
All I need is my Perrier and lime
Good night, Bad
DREAMs
Only come when I succumb to sleep
Get off on tracks, no cum on the beats
Do an end zone dance, very sharp cleat
My team’s an entire star fleet
Now I’m in the backseat with a sweet thing
Rolling a sweet thing, Listening to “Sweet Thing”
Basically on replay
And she says these days are The Matrix
And she could be The One, no gun if she takes just
ONE
Shot at a task, so I asked, “Have you ever had a
DREAM;
To see it through, you could do ANYTHING?”
After a little moment, Shorty smiled big and told me that
SHE’S one-in-a-million if she never sees $1,000,001 (a Million & 1)

(OUTRO)
I remember back when I was 1
Even then I knew 2 things
The only way is UP
EXCEPT when giving up
On DREAMS

Never - Give Up!

One
You already Won
We’re walking in a Dream

One
You already Won
There is no “I”, Just “We”

One
You already Won
Walking in a Dream

Won!
One
Is no “I”, just “We”
