The Dream

When they cut the umbilical the realest nigga born Momma pushed me out I'm the realest that she saw Upon arrival had the spirit of the lord A long way from me being children of the corn But watch me be successful get that million put me on And restore all the feelings for my people that they lost Cause though my dreams expensive, I fulfill em at a cost And I give you rich ideas if that's gon save you being poor uhh When it rains I feel that shit in my body Then I look in the mirror and find the nigga that got me I can never be surprised that I'm the nigga they copy Cause the aura make em love me or hate me because they not me ahh I'm not cocky just standing on all business Though I seen alot of shit growing up I'm no witness Cause when you go through all of this trauma you grow with it Bad feelings you could try to omit em it's no difference but I take pain and make it a campaign Change ways, graduate from the ghetto get Grade A All these niggas out here dealing these drugs it's the same play Raised in the same place but won't come out the same way Not me, stay ready it's all in my gameface And I'm the new answer they study my game tapes And I won't be the nigga that's stuck with the same wage Death or jail matching the niggas my same age nah I'm too special, I'm cracking a new level I'm doing what I want and for you it's like who let you Since I'm all about the money, I'm hoping this mood catch you So you could go for medals instead of go use medal This for all the times we ain't have silverware Swear we gon go from these paper plates to millionaires Crazy how these niggas turn to bitches with they feelings here But they'll never crumble the foundation that I'm building here Nah I don't know what they thought A successful black man no jail no court No yellow tape for me, I'm not outlined in chalk I'mma win with my survival skills that momma taught It's crazy how I'm winning with these demons I fought Even crazier they help provide the reason I'm on And every given season I ain't seeing me fall Delusions of grandeur and I'm believing it all Look I got a new play I could map out Make that girl my leftovers if she act out I don't ever got the time to listen to her bad mouth The type to back out before I ever blow your back out Remember that, I'm taking respect gimme that I don't ask for much but loyalty and a mirror match Cause I could give you the whole world you probably won't give it back That's the reason a nigga like me won't get attached Ahh I put my life in this shit My whole soul, all my wrongs and my rights in this shit All my great days, all my rough nights in this shit All my personal battles, and my fights in this shit Uh as I come back and I go and make my way From in your earwaves to play on the airwaves My life help niggas grow, I call it a fair trade But the fair weather fans won't see it as fair game F*ck em, can't define how I'm living Got the same twenty four when I grind they be chilling And then complain later but I'm minding my business Then when they got they hands out, it's bye bye to the friendship Look I'm avoiding stagnant you gon watch me grow Watch me do some shit that you niggas never know Watch me show the discipline you niggas scared to show And watch me live my dream nigga never let it go King
