Lyrics Dreams and Nightmares - NJ

I feel like it's a repeating cycle, we black people are always told we can't do this, but
we can't do that
I pray for that newness out here to get us, we can stay strong even through the darkest
times, yeah

Even through the hardest times, I feel like we gonna prevail, yeah
I feel like this is a revering nightmare, yeah
Dreams and nights, man, yeah
I feel like it's a repeating cycle, we black people are always told we can't do this, but

we can't do that
I pray for that newness out here to get us, yeah
Dreams and nightmares
Ayy

Sitting up in the corner, you don't know what to expect
I once had to tell people I'm a street thug when I'm not
All that shit that you say in your raps was fucking cap
We got people talking about gang shit, but don't live it

I don't know what about the trauma
When your homie died, but you had to sit down, you had to take a stand
I once had to take a stand and tell a nigga, no, the same niggas that wasn't around before
the come up

Now they wanna be around you, yeah
They see a young nigga make it out, yeah
Now they wanna try to latch on, ayy
They couldn't eat off your plate

But no damn well, they ain't one tryna get no work done
I swear people out here, they play too much
They tryna play around with you
They try to act like you ain't on their team

They tryna play around with you
They tryna play around with you
They tryna play around with you
But then you ain't shit

All that ass is shit
Why not move that shit to the side, though
They tryna play around with you
They tryna act like you ain't hot

Now you talk, man
You got all the muscle in the world
Let's keep doing what you do
You gon' eventually prevail after this struggle, yeah

I've felt it's a repeating cycle
We black people always told that we can't do this or we can't do that
I ray fight niggas out here to get us
We can stay strong even though we're through the darkest times, yeah

Even through the hardest time
I'll make sure to prevail
I fight this reverting nightmare, dream the nightmare
I fight this repeating cycle

We back
We always so we can do this, we can do that
Yeah, dreams and nightmares
I once had this girl to myself and she tried to play both sides

I had to talk to God, but I'm not sure he understands
I love you all my heart
How could you do me like that
Like damn, everything we don't been through

We don't been through the storm
We came from hell and back
Remember days when I was broke and I had to depend on you
I swear, you brought me through the darkest moments of my life

And because of that, you will amplify my spec
I can charge you with a gang
I can slide you to the left like the bosses do
Make sacrifices like the bosses

But don't do damn well
I can charge you with a gang
I can slide you to the left like the bosses do
Make sacrifices like the bosses

But don't do damn well
And because of that, you will amplify my spec
I can charge you with a gang
I can slide you to the left like the bosses do

Make sacrifices like the bosses
But don't do damn well
You know, a couple years ago I didn't know life was cruel
Then I had the experience myself when I lost a close friend

RIP Megan
You were always a go-to classmate
When I can chat with you one more time, I'll give my life away to chat with you one more
time

I'll give my life away to chat with you one more time
I'll give my life away to chat with you one more time
I'll give my life away to chat with you one more time
Man, just one more time
