Lyrics
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't lose your
Don't lose your dreams, don't lose your dreams
Yeah
I was born in a small city lakeside
Dream bigger than the motherfuckin' state line
Mama taught me how to build it from the ground up
And the job is never done until the paint dry
Drug dealers ain't believe in havin' iPhone
'Cause ain't nobody ever, ever tryna FaceTime
Klan tryna kill a nigga for his skin color
That's why I gotta keep that thing on my waist side
Is this the world we envision?
God, is this the world you envision?
I been talkin' to myself, but I know that you can hear me
Send me a sign if you can hear me
I just need a little help, I just need the world to feel me
Put the weed into the Philly
Man, I got a lot of stress and leave my house without a vest
I think my nation tryna kill me
Man, I don't think y'all niggas hear me
I don't think y'all niggas feel me
I hope you don't feel my pain
Nigga only twenty-two and some change
Nigga haven't reached my prime, yeah, I still got time
Been a year, whole lot has seen a change
Niggas tryna strip me for my crown
When I come around, everybody actin' strange
And I still don't give a damn about your Instagram
Models ain't the only ones bein' slain
Man, it's really been an epidemic
Only coping mechanism bein' pessimistic
Had a vision all my niggas was winnin' and we ain't have a limit
Baddest bitches love my music, you ain't gotta feel it
Y'all good over here, fuck that side
I know a couple of my homies wearin' neckties
I know a couple of my homies that'll jump ship
They ain't know that every good thing take time, it take time
It's a thin, thin, thin line between
Responsibilities and your dreams
Everything ain't what it seem, ain't what it seem
Gotta read between, between them lines
Scope out the scene, scope out the scene
'Cause it's the people that's close to you
That's gon' rip out your soul from you
That's gon' tear out your heart
You gotta know what you supposed to do
Lose your dreams, don't lose your dreams
Don't lose your dreams
Don't lose your dreams, don't lose your dreams
How the heck we supposed to make it to the motherfuckin' top, nigga?
I only got five in my gas tank
Now my pockets is in bad shape
I gotta be the illest nigga alive
But my bank account got me feelin' last place, so
So cold, I ain't cool bein' broke, nigga
No lights, no gas, and no dinner
I really hated you said that, dog, where your head at?
It's cool, I know that we all born sinners
So I'm prayin' for a better me, so you can be a better you
And thank God for temptation, we facin' 'em daily
They makin' us stronger and I might sound crazy
But I been ordained and been graced as a fetus
Never would sit in the bleachers
Coach put that boy in the game
Stackin' up pennies 'til we make a million, we bringin' the change
Dope on the scale, got shit for sale
I'm fresh as hell, you would not see a stain
Sucked on my veins, of course
I got one hand on my dick and one foot on the game
Keepin' my family sane
You cannot fathom my family's pain
Buildin' a structure that can't be corrupted
Man, we got a shelter wherever it rain, wherever it rains
It's a thin, thin, thin line between
Responsibilities and your dreams
Everything ain't what it seem, ain't what it seem
Gotta read between, between them lines
Scope out the scene, scope out the scene
'Cause it's the people that's close to you
That's gon' rip out your soul from you
That's gon' tear out your heart
You gotta know what you supposed to do
Lose your dreams, don't lose your dreams
Don't lose your dreams
Yo, it's two types of people
There's me and there's you
You heard it, believe that it's true
I don't take nothin' for solid
You said it, I'm checkin' it, askin' for proof
These niggas be gullible, don't get too comfortable
Brodie, my dough in advance
Know what I know, then you know where I stand
Labels want lives for a couple of grand
And you can find me outside
'Cause I ain't never really fit in, yeah
And all my brodies gon' ride
And all my homies gon' win, yeah
Young Ginobili with the rock
Threw some Kobe in the mix
Like a dragon, nigga spittin' fire plenty
Got a baddie with me, she a trip
Shot with no pennies, give me my assist
Cooler than pillows when you make a flip
And back as a kiddo, they say he too little
So when I'm the ruler, you won't get an inch
Yeah, when I'm the ruler, you won't get an inch
I been actively stackin' since back in '06
All these rappers so arrogant, still
Don't get fenced, how embarrassin'
Keys to my city, I'm actually carryin'
Ain't on the board, I'm the chairman
You keepin' the score, I'm ahead of it
Ain't throwin' shade, I'm just makin' comparisons
Wait, it was maneuvers, I just done it before
Heard it one time for a milli' and more
I'm at run it up and put the city on go
Move the alphabet around, bring some I's to the O
It's a thin, thin, thin line between
Responsibilities and your dreams
Everything ain't what it seem, ain't what it seem
Gotta read between, between them lines
Scope out the scene, scope out the scene
'Cause it's the people that's close to you
That's gon' rip out your soul from you
That's gon' tear out your heart
You gotta know what you supposed to do
Lose your dreams, don't lose your dreams
Don't lose your dreams
