(Ai nghĩ rằng Laila sẽ không làm tốt?)

Sam: Hey – I’m working on a new song. No title yet …

Laila: [Chorus] This is my dream now and dreams can come true 

I’m going to be famous – that’s all I want to do

Laila: This is my dream, I’m going to make it one day 

I don’t care what it costs, no I don’t care how I pay 

I’m not gonna think about the wrongs and rights 

Just wanna see my name up there in the bright lights

Give me the drums, guitar, keyboard and bass

Cos I’ve got the look, the voice; I’ve got the face

[Chorus] This is my dream now …

Sam: Well you say that’s your dream, but I say that it’s insanity

Wake up a second now and take a look at the reality

You’ll pay the price, you say, but just what price will you pay?

Listen, I can tell you things in real life ain’t so easy

Sing a song a thousand times until it’s a hit

At rst the words mean somethin’ but in the end you won’t believe it

Feel like a million dollars while you’re singin’ that song

But you’ll only be a star until the next fool comes along

[Chorus] This is my dream now …

RR: Cool! Good message.

Tank2: Erm … what message? 

Lil`Tina: I think it’s about all those kids who only want fame.

Sam: Yeah. They think they’ll be happy, but the music business is TOUGH.

Jan: Why be negative? You had dreams once Sam!

Sam: True!

Lil`Tina: It’ll be a big hit, Sam. Love it. 

Sam: Thanks! No music yet but we’re going to have cool keyboard and bass.
