| Ayo, '83, LA and me, just Shay and me, just Jay and me
|
| My grandma used to stay with me, my grandpa used to pray for me
|
| Lord, I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep
|
| That if I die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take, uh
|
| I always thought that was bold to say
|
| 'Til one day my cousin Marty taught me how to hold a K
|
| Smoking Js, stolen Js, growing hood, throwing trays
|
| No one knew little Trey would make it out the Js
|
| Made it out the city, never made it out to Egypt
|
| But I probably take you with me if you ride to Vegas with me
|
| Crush the luxe lush, do a deluxe luxury suite
|
| Roast a duck on the bed by my feet, fuck off the street
|
| Can’t talk, roll the leaf, hash, shisha, blow the tree
|
| Super 60 billion miles off of feet and touch the beat like a G
|
| Got a dream for every word on the page
|
| (Now I can go on for days and days)
|
| Just dream, dream, dream
|
| And wish upon a star, far away from where you are
|
| One day we’ll have a ball
|
| Ayo, '88, I saw the streets, I saw the gold, I saw my soul
|
| I saw and I was sold
|
| As a king to one day need a throne, need a home that I can own
|
| That I can only call my own and do it all on my own
|
| A lesson to the predecessor or the great depressor
|
| After the Great Depression, the peasants begging for blessings
|
| The promise of better morals,
|
| The common out of the gesture can catch it and redirect it
|
| She never wanted the money, fame or the fancy people
|
| Vehicles out of Sicily, silly of me to mix up
|
| I’m a mix of black, Indian, and white I am American stripes like a Parisian
|
| I’m pleased to meet you in Greece again
|
| '09 we was in our prime
|
| Had youngins chopping onions, Kid Cudi’s Day 'n' Nite
|
| Out in Vigo, now a wino throw a C note on a couple classic people
|
| And some vinyl from the time I say the rhyme about the eagle, I be legal
|
| No tax, no debts, and no thievos
|
| Just stats to make it all feel regal
|
| But what do I know, I got more dreams and words on the page
|
| (I can go on for days and days)
|
| Just dream, dream, dream
|
| And wish upon a star, far away from where you are
|
| One day we’ll have a ball
|
| Dream, dream
|
| Just dream, dream, dream
|
| Ayo, '91 was grimey son, '92 was grimey too
|
| '93 was grime to me and '94 was grime to you
|
| '95 was mighty nice, '96, timeless shit
|
| '97, slice of heaven like a '98 Bentely
|
| And I started getting mine at 1−9-9−9 with the shine
|
| 2000 break the spine in '07, oh heaven
|
| Blessed be the child that made it out without the MAC-11
|
| Stack stacking my blessings
|
| And as far as those roaming in space
|
| Tell God make space for the trap rappers in heaven, uh
|
| I got more dreams and words on the page
|
| (I can go on for days and days)
|
| Just dream, dream, dream
|
| Dream, dream |
