A Dolla & A Dream (feat. Lucci)

In the land of milk and honey it cost to dream Where everyone swears by carpe diem Tho it's impossible cuz once ya gain steam The rug gets pulled from under ya by the machine Preaching the sky is the limit but it's just a ceiling mural Combining real and fake like it's urban and rural Guilty conscience got me feeling plural Outta body experience talking to myself normal That fake it till ya make it shit only does so much This cliché seems to be the same ole crutch Cuz it don't strike gold or give ya the Midas touch Life is like a manual vehicle without a clutch Inching forward tryna go a mile per hour Wilting every second like a withering flower Caught in a hurricane thunderstorm rain shower While I'm tryna put in work without power Okay, I've been working harder than a bitch To give up would be hitting a kill switch Self destruction, on my last meal shit And I'm not ready for that Not giving up on rap Not ready to tap All I need is a dollar & a dream no cap Sit back and watch me snap hoe Talk down at me and that's a wrap hoe All my people real While you living in a rat hole My people build me up so we can relax bro All I got is my balls and my word plus a dolla and a dream Rocking clothes that are splitting at the seam Wit money on my mind hoping I can redeem To update myself like I was sponsored by supreme Do I follow my mind, my heart or my gut If I wait too long then I won't make the cut It's got me crazy as an institutionalized nut Cocky and confident when I start my strut Walking a thin line that's too tight to pluck One touch it'll pop and I fall down in the muck Then get pulled down like quicksand then I'm stuck Tryna pry myself out but I'm having zero luck I can see the finish line and it's in the distance But I get turned around and feel some resistance Tho I'm a patient person wit persistence It's time for me to step out and show my existence I've been working harder than a bitch To give up would be hitting a kill switch Self destruction, on my last meal shit And I'm not ready for that Not giving up on rap Not ready to tap All I need is a dollar & a dream no cap Sit back and watch me snap hoe Talk down at me and that's a wrap hoe All my people real While you living in a rat hole My people build me up so we can relax bro Where do I go from here I surely don't know Do I follow the familiar path and go wit the flow Or take the fork in the road back to the show Or make my own way to ensure that I grow I'm still stuck between a rock and a hard place That feels like I'm in a never ending car chase I'm far behind unable to reach the home base When the spotlight hits I'm not there to show face See I'm tryna be that hard act to follow But this humble pill ain't easy to swallow No sorrow but this time I cannot borrow And my pride won't let me just sit around and wallow I'm taking advantage of every situation Shit's gonna change starting wit this operation I'm fixated on fixing this little sick fixation Saying f*ck it I'm staying for the long duration I've been working harder than a bitch To give up would be hitting a kill switch Self destruction, on my last meal shit And I'm not ready for that Not giving up on rap Not ready to tap All I need is a dollar & a dream no cap Sit back and watch me snap hoe Talk down at me and that's a wrap hoe All my people real While you living in a rat hole My people build me up so we can relax bro What inspires ya motivation I gotta dolla and dream I gotta dolla and dream I gotta dolla and dream I gotta dolla and dream I gotta dolla and dream I gotta dolla and dream I gotta dolla and dream I gotta dolla and dream
