Dream On

Dream on young niggas
Yeahhh

Momma told me
Keep my head out the clouds
You know what goes up
Must always come down
Watch all the niggas
You keeping around
Some send a boat while most
Will watch you drown
Can't forget those
Who are crabs in a barrel
Those who hawk you
To seem wise as owl
I'm black and I'm proud
You black and you proud
White man, white man
He got the power, oww
Hit another nigga
With the pow pow
It's time to lay
Another nigga
Down, down
Tell yo' kinfolks
To slow they tempo
Cause they got something
That they shall live for
I gotta admit
Today was a good day
On some ice cube shit
Cause I made it home
In one piece, and I ain't
End up on a news clip (News clip)

Dream on young nigga
Touch the sky
Cause sky's the limit
And we all in it
Dream on young nigga
Touch the sky
Cause sky's the limit
And we all in it
Dream on young nigga
Touch the sky
Cause sky's the limit
And we all in it
Dream on

Funny how money
Can buy you a crown
They told me, they told me
Real hoes get down
On the floor, I sip some mo'
Congratulations, we finally made it
Out the hood, but not for good
Cause my trauma follow me
Wherever I go
I gotta tuck the deuce deuce
Cause you never know
If a nigga ridin' high
Just to bring ya low
Like uhhh, what these bitches
Want from a nigga
Gotta stay strapped
With yo' finger on the trigger
Ughhh, they must got it out
For nigga, wanna see my dim
They don't wanna see me lit up
Ughhh, imma put it on
For my niggas
From a small town
So I gotta do it bigger
Ughhh, if you don't fuck
With a nigga
I pay no nevermind
Cause I see the bigger picture
(I see the bigger picture)

Dream on young nigga
Touch the sky
Cause sky's the limit
And we all in it
Dream on young nigga
Touch the sky
Cause sky's the limit
And we all in it
Dream on young nigga
Touch the sky
Cause sky's the limit
And we all in it
Dream on

Look
Poppa told me
Get yo' ass off this couch
Go find a job
Bring some dough in this house
Bank account showing me
Negative signs, balance it out
With a positive mind
White boys on board
I would stay on the grind
Stick the script
Never losing a line
Acting a fool
Just to have a good time
With my homies, with my homies
Fuck the po po
We always riding dirty
Henny in my cup
Got me feeling, no worries
Moving slow mo
With my thoughts in a hurry
Can't stop now
If I don't, I won't make it
Momma said slow down
You gotta have patience
I ain't got time
And I ain't for the waiting
I gotta get it now
This is mine for the taking
I gotta get it now
This is mine for the taking
(Mine for the taking)

Dream on young nigga
Touch the sky
Cause sky's the limit
And we all in it
Dream on young nigga
Touch the sky
Cause sky's the limit
And we all in it
Dream on young nigga

I believe I could fly
No R. Kelly
Got my mind on the grind
I just gotta stay steady
Momma said imma shine
So, I gotta be ready
Yeah, yeah
I gotta stay ready

Uh, I believe I could fly
No R. Kelly
Got my mind on the grind
I just gotta stay steady
Momma said imma shine
So, I gotta be ready
Yeah, yeah

Black boy and girl
It's you against the world
Don't let them
Steal yo' knowledge
Don't let them
Clean yo' polish
Don't reason
With they logic
They use you
For a profit
Somehow, we gotta stop it
They treat us like we garbage
