Lyrics Dreamer - August Alsina

Dreamer

She was only 17 when she left home heading off to college
Just the clothes on her back 40 dollars in her pocket
On the couch of a one bedroom apartment
Roommate tryna get her to pop her pussy for dollars
He was only 13 just a lookout on the corner
First he started off small couple pills and marijuana
Now he’s thinking he should go out on the block and see if he can get shit
poppin'
He was tired of going in for just a little bit of profit
Damn
She fell in love with the ballers and bottles
He fell in love with the block and the Glock
Now he totin them choppers
Why does it seem like nobody else want to be lawyers and doctors
Now a days everybody out here tryna be dealers and models
Just a thought
I guess that’s how it goes
When it’s all you know (know)
And you ain’t a dreamer
(You ain’t a dreamer)
And you ain’t a dreamer
(You ain’t a dreamer)
I guess that’s how it be
When it’s all you see
(All you see)
And you ain’t a dreamer
(You ain’t a dreamer)
And you ain’t a dreamer
Now you can find her on the main stage
Trickin' and twerking and working so hard for them singles
20 for how she get naked
Money she see for the takin'
She gonna take it
Been dancing so long she don’t now when she’ll be graduatin'
Friends tryna tell her she trippin'
She telling them to stop hatin'
3 years later for he grows into a man
Got a pocket full of money 9mili in his hand
Momma prayin' tryin' make him understand
That they just wanna put him in the system
It’s too late now he convicted
Damn
She fell in love with the ballers and bottles
He fell in love with the block and the Glock
Now he totin them choppers
Why does it seem like nobody else want to be lawyers and doctors
Now a days everybody out here tryna be dealers and models
Just a thought
I guess that’s how it goes
(Goes)
When it’s all you know
(Knows)
And you ain’t a dreamer
(You ain’t a dreamer)
And you ain’t a dreamer
I guess that’s how it be
When it’s all you see
(All you see)
And you ain’t a dreamer
(You ain’t a dreamer)
And you ain’t a dreamer
She never dreamt about going to college
Choosing her major
Getting some knowledge
He never dreamt about living for something
All that he knew was he was tired of the struggle
She never knew that
She’d ever do that
Now she addicted to the money and the new bags
And now he wish that
That he could get back
All the time he lost
Now he pays the cost
She fell in love with the ballers and bottles
He fell in love with the block and the Glock
Now he totin the choppers
Why does it seem like nobody else want to be lawyers and doctors
Now a days everybody out here tryna be dealers and models
Just a thought
I guess that’s how it goes
(Goes)
When it’s all you know
(Knows)
And you ain’t a dreamer
(You ain’t a dreamer)
And you ain’t a dreamer
(You ain’t a dreamer)
I guess that’s how it be
When it’s all you see
(All you see)
And you ain’t a dreamer
(You ain’t a dreamer)
And you ain’t a dreamer
