| Real story, like I was
|
| I was playin this, this record
|
| For a friend of mine y’knahmsayin we was just chillin
|
| I was just playin her the album and like
|
| She was like, «Yo I love the record, record is incredible
|
| But y’know something’s different
|
| Y’knahmsayin somethin it just ain’t the same»
|
| I said nigga that’s the point~!
|
| My momma told me that this music was cool
|
| All she ever wanted from me was to graduate from school
|
| But I, had other plans so I bid school adieux
|
| I called Food Lion, had to tell 'em I was through
|
| No more stockin peas and corn
|
| I was born for a much greater purpose, do you this service
|
| Margie got nervous, but timers don’t sweat
|
| 8 years, I ain’t been back yet
|
| Lack of time on your TV sets, no radio spins
|
| Momma askin her son, what he doin for ends
|
| Spendin weeks on the road, ma this ain’t for pretend
|
| Unheard to the creme de la creme, keep bouncin
|
| On beats pouncin, cat reflexes
|
| Had yo' attention when I pulled up in Lexus
|
| Big like Texas, G’s on the checklist
|
| You ain’t gotta ask ma I’m bringin home the breakfast
|
| Gotta respect this
|
| (Momma I got dreams, but dreams don’t keep the lights on)
|
| I’mma make money money
|
| And if I can’t make it I’mma take money money
|
| What you say buddy buddy?
|
| (Momma I got dreams, but dreams don’t keep the lights on)
|
| Bills paid, bank account ensured
|
| Top of the world screamin fuck that, get yours!
|
| I still go the crib and see my niggas on the corner
|
| Chillin with the pounds on they waist, gettin old
|
| Gettin round in the face and when I hang with them
|
| They ask me if «The Minstrel Show» means I’m ashamed of them
|
| Well — I can’t say that I’m proud, but only sayin
|
| Can’t say I’m allowed to judge, I’m just glad to see you
|
| Cause truth be told, if my records never sold
|
| And I wasn’t raised this bold, nigga I would probably be you
|
| I’ve been God blessed with the gift to make music
|
| It took me all over the continent
|
| But still got boys on the block and fam, smokin rock
|
| So please, miss me with that conscious shit
|
| I spent many a sleepless night because of it
|
| Until I had to shake that shit off and reach the conclusion
|
| That every now and then you gotta axe yourself
|
| Do you really wanna win or just look good losin?
|
| It’s no illusion, yes yes
|
| La la la la la la LAHHHH!
|
| Momma I got dreams…
