Dream$ Songtext

I was just young in my zone, had a dream all alone
Putting music on MySpace, just hoping you would play my song (Yeah)
I ain't do music for checks, we was young niggas tryna get on
We was young niggas fresh off the nest, had some talent, they told me I'm next
You see, it all started dreaming, writing raps all in my first class
Next thing you know Jay-Z flew me to New York, first class
Life changed so fast, got my chance, I had to spaz
Sand fallin' through the glass, got my foot up on the gas
The game was such an allure, I thought the money was for sure
Damn, then we barely made enough to break even on the first tour
We was all a real team, all shared the same dream
But we didn't even take the time to handle all the business unseen
That's when the money came into play, put dark thoughts on the dream
I would've did anything to make it work, but it ain't always what it seems
But I had to keep it going (Goin'), lights flashing, cameras rolling (Rollin')
I'm just staying in the groove (Groove), can't get caught up in the news

The streets watching, lot of niggas plotting and they wanna know my next move (Damn)
Watching hard for them cameras (Uh), they wanna see how I do (Yeah) Real nigga, I'm stand up (Stand up)
To get the win, I had to lose (Lose)
Really started from the bottom (Bottom), now everything brand new (New)
Everything brand new (New), everything brand new (Brand new)

From the hat to the car (Car)
From the shirt to the shoes (To the shoes)
Everything brand new (Brand new)
Now everything brand new (Brand new)
From the class of my broads (Yeah)
To the five-star foods (Uh)

For a minute, I was angry
I was my own worse enemy
The label was tryna change me
My friends weren't who they pretend to be
Then I dropped my album and the movie Dope
And a whole lot of shit that gave me hope
Still swinging back against the rope, haters didn't want to see me afloat
Had to revamp the camp, find out who was fake
Tryna build a strong foundation for all the money we gon' make
Now I'm ready to make it stack, make some ends and never look back, yeah, uh
Make some ends and never look back
Soon I figured it out, realized I had to do me
'Cause if the label don't recoup then the fans can't even hear the new me
Started off underground, then I became the new kid
Tryna last twenty years in the game, do it big like Snoop did
Do it big like Dre did, do it big like Ye' did
Do it big like all the pioneers in rap that really made it
I need a Rollie and a Roc chain
A young nigga signed to J Kid
Tryna make it to the top, mane
Kept working 'til it made sense

The streets watching, lot of niggas plotting and they wanna know my next move (Damn)
Watching hard for them cameras (Uh), they wanna see how I do (Yeah)
Real nigga, I'm stand up (Stand up)
To get the win, I had to lose (Lose)
Really started from the bottom (Bottom), now everything brand new (New)
Everything brand new (New), everything brand new (Brand new)

From the hat to the car (Car)
From the shirt to the shoes (To the shoes)
Everything brand new (Brand new)
Now everything brand new (Brand new)
From the class of my broads (Yeah)
To the five-star foods (Uh)

Yeah
Everything brand new
Uh-huh, yeah
PNCINTL forever
I'm sending love
To everybody that live this dream with me
This just the beginning

I guess you're here to get your money right, huh?
All the time, you know all that is cool for the image and all that, but all that is liabilities
I'd rather invest in some real estate, you know what I'm saying
Woah, woah, woah, hold up man, can you repeat that again?
You're up and coming artist, what did you say you want to do?
I said invest in some assets as opposed to trick off my money on some liabilities like diamonds
You know cars that lose value as soon as you drive them off the lot
So you tryna, you tryna get land?
Exactly, homie, a real asset
Take care of my peoples
