Kitchen to Dreams

Start

Intro

(Spoken with reverb)

Every journey starts with a choice

A moment when you gotta hear your inner voice

Sometimes the hardest part is letting go

Of everything you thought you had to know

Verse 0

First day I stepped in that kitchen, thought I found my place

Young and lost, needed cash, movin' at their pace

Mama said "Get stable," daddy said "Be smart"

But deep inside my spirit kept tearin' me apart

Every dish I plated felt like time just slippin' by

Every shift I worked just made my real dreams multiply

Started writin' verses on my breaks just to stay sane

Knew that if I stayed there, man, my soul would feel the strain[Chorus]

I manifest, I see it clear, yeah, it's all in sight,

Quit the kitchen, chase the vision, now my future bright.

No more heat, no more stress, just a beat and mic,

Turn my dreams into reality, I live this life.

Verse 1

Late nights, burnin’ out, over pans and plates,

Feelin’ trapped in the kitchen, man, I’m locked in a fate.

But my mind stayed loud, hear the beats in my head,

Know my soul ain't meant for orders, man, I'm destined instead.

Clock out, walk out, left the apron behind,

Took a step into the booth, now I’m deep in my grind.

Every bar, every rhyme, man, I'm paving my way,

No regrets, no rewind, I got moves to make.

Pre-Chorus

I wrote it down, spoke it loud, let the universe know,

Ain’t no fear, ain’t no doubt, let the energy flow.

From the kitchen to the stage, from the stress to the glow,

I was born for this life, and I ain't moving slow.

Chorus

I manifest, I see it clear, yeah, it's all in sight,

Quit the kitchen, chase the vision, now my future bright.

No more heat, no more stress, just a beat and mic,

Turn my dreams into reality, I live this life.

Verse 2

They said, "Josh, you crazy, man, you throwin' it all,

Ain’t no money in the music, better stick where you fall."

But my soul said "Nah," I can’t die in a line,

When my purpose got a rhythm and my heart got a rhyme.

I put the work in, ain't no wishin’ for luck,

Had to struggle, had to hustle just to get this up.

Now the streams add up, fans chantin’ my name,

Used to cook for a living, now I'm servin' the flame.

Bridge

Turned my pain into art, turned my doubt into drive,

Now I'm living my truth, yeah, I'm fully alive.

No regrets, no retreat, no defeat in my soul,

This is destiny, baby, let the story be told.

Chorus

I manifest, I see it clear, yeah, it's all in sight,

Quit the kitchen, chase the vision, now my future bright.

No more heat, no more stress, just a beat and mic,

Turn my dreams into reality, I live this life. [Outro]

So if you stuck in a box, if you drown in the grind,

Gotta trust in yourself, gotta free up your mind.

Take the leap, make the move, don’t get lost in the past,

Manifest it, believe it, turn your dreams intofacts

(Let it be known, let it be known)

Final Verse

Every sacrifice led to this moment right here

Built my kingdom from scratch, now the vision is clear

From the steam and the stress to the stage and the lights

Proved them wrong with my passion, showed em dreams take flight

Never frontin', just real, that's the story I tell

From the depths of that kitchen to the top, did it well

Young chiefs in the game, hear my words, feel my soul

Chase your truth, break the chains, let your destiny roll

Final Chorus

I manifest, I see it clear, yeah, it's all in sight

Quit the kitchen, chase the vision, now my future bright

No more heat, no more stress, just a beat and mic

Turn my dreams into reality, I live this life

(I live this life, yeah, I live this life)

[End][Extended Outro]

Now I'm speaking to the dreamers who been following my path

Every story that I'm telling got a lesson in the rap

From the kitchen to the kingdom, yeah I built this from the ground

Now my voice becomes a beacon, help them lost souls get found

Final Bridge

Through the struggles and the doubts (yeah)

Through the nights I couldn't count (mmh)

Found my purpose in the sound (yeah)

Now I'm breaking down these bounds (watch me now)

Last Chorus Variation

I manifest, I still see clear, yeah, it's all divine

Quit the kitchen, found my mission, watch your boy just shine

No more doubt, no more fear, just these words of mine

Living proof that your dreams can cross that finish line

(Cross that finish line, yeah, we crossing that line)

End
