Dreams |
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… |
