All A Dream |
It was all a dream, thinkin 'bout the fortune and fame |
Hopin one day I could get in the game |
It was all a dream, wishin for the money and cars |
And to live the lifestyle of the stars |
It was all a dream, livin through the struggle and pain |
Tryin not to fall out of the frame |
It was all a dream, until I seen my dream come true |
Now I’m a make it do what it do |
'Cause it was all a dream |
I’m from the hood player, check my stats |
I grew up in the ghetto with the roaches and the rats (and the rats) |
We used to shoot basketball through a bike rim (rim) |
Lookin at Jordan, wantin to be like him (him) |
Syrup sandwiches, sugar water drink (drinks) |
I look back at my past and man I got to think (think) |
Of where I came from (from) and what I’ve been through (through) |
'Cause for some man, the saga still continues ('ues) |
I remember, my days as a young’n |
The alley ways and back streets we used to run in |
Who knew back then that some would kill |
and some would die? |
'Cause on the real |
I’m from the hood player, check my photos (my photos) |
I used to be up all night on no doze (on no doze) |
I had a dollar and a destiny (destiny) |
And everyday man, the streets kept testin me (testin me) |
With peer pressure (pressure) and even poverty (poverty) |
But see I can’t stop now, man there’s got to be |
A better life for me (life for me), I want the glory |
But they won’t give it to me and they won’t do it for me (do it for me) |
So I’m a pray on it and give it up to God (God) |
Then wipe myself off, get up and go hard (hard) |
I lost a lot of good friends on the way |
That’s why I’m tryin harder every day |
I’m from the hood player, check my pedigree (pedigree) |
And nowadays man, I’m tryin to be a better me (better me) |
You see I’m older (older) and even smarter now (smarter now) |
So I got to hold my son and my daughter down (daughter down) |
And I’m a always keep it real with my kids (my kids) |
So they don’t have to go through what I did (I did) |
'Cause they can climb higher than we ever climbed (ever climbed) |
And they can shine brighter than we ever shined (ever shined) |
See the next generation is the future (future) |
And yeah the game’s a little different than you’re used to (used to) |
But don’t give up, just stay true |
'Cause if I did it, than you can too |
