Lyrics of the song “I dreamed of it”
I dreamed about it
I dreamed about it
I am a very honest man, I like the best
I don’t lack women, money or love.
Riding my horse, I cross the mountains
The stars and the moon, they tell me where I’m going
Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay, my love
Oh, my brunette of my heart
I dreamed of it (ay-ay-ay-ay, oh-ay, my love)
I dreamed of it (ay-ay, brunette of my heart)
Sakura, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’ve been dreaming about it, whether I wanted it or not, since I was a child in the quarry.
When I cried all night
I wonder if this shit happened to me
When teachers made fun of me because I had no 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
It’s not arrogance, it’s just that I know I’m awesome
And since I do better than them, they disown me
In one year, I went from a promise to filling a Wizink without surprises
There are three of us, but we ordered so many dishes
They have to give us another table
I dreamed I would fill my city’s stadium, son of a bitch, I did it
I have accomplished everything I said, pride and ambition demand it of me
I have shown that nothing is impossible
And since God sees everything, well, he blesses me
I laugh at everything they say
At the Alexander, taking Van Winkle
And when they try to make fun of me because of the little bird
They know I’m a millionaire, why am I nobody?
You piece of shit, don’t you see me filling stadiums?
Seriously, don’t feel ridiculous saying it’s 2024.
I would be nobody without Auto-Tune, bro?
I guess we’ll never know, Sakura tour, 250 for the show
Don’t throw me away if your account is down, they have no shame
With 21 years and the world in my hands, with respect for veterans
I drive, but God guides, that’s why I never say I’ve made it
I always say “we did it”
I feel like El Matador, I take care of my own, my family
I always keep my word, I’m not envious
The pride of 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 don’t choose my destiny, God wanted it that way
Of course I know fear, I can’t deny it to you
I have become a legend, everyone will remember me
Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay, my love
Oh, my brunette of my heart
Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay, my 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, I put 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 take on anyone
