Hey, hey, yea, yea
|
Got a dolla and a dream
|
Yea
|
I got a dolla and a dream, real niggas on my team
|
Everything ain't what it seems
|
Yea
|
I got a dolla and a dream, hey
|
[clears throat]
|
Ay, I got a dolla and a dream, real niggas on my team
|
Everything ain't what it seems
|
Niggas hatin' but I love them even though they trynna scheme
|
But I'm past that, a niggas stock is raising like the Nastec
|
They same I'm the future but yet I'm giving niggas flashbacks
|
Of better days, when you ain't have to settle for whatever played
|
I represent the struggle nigga I say what they never say
|
Whenever they, spit that bullshit they spittin,
|
this that pool pit I'm hittin niggas with the gospel
|
Hostile with them hoes, I got a dolla in my pocket, plus a dream
|
Yea you laughing my nigga but everything ain't what it seems
|
What it means to know your momma or your father on that pipe
|
On that hard white, I'll tell you what them scares like
|
I'm speaking through these bars like a nigga in the jail
|
Tired of sifting through my mails I feel like Cartwright, bills
|
Forreal, a nigga I'll
|
Just let me do the talking men I know how niggas feel
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I got a dolla and a dream, real niggas on my team
|
Everything ain't what it seems
|
[4x]
|
|
I got a dolla and a dream, real niggas on my team
|
Everything ain't what it seems
|
Every lady ain't no hoe, and every bitch ain't no queen
|
Every nigga ain't no dog, and every nigga ain't no king
|
Shit be happening for a reason, everything is everything
|
Every nigga can't dunk, so white man can jump
|
They shooting niggas fo' they even tell em put their hands up!
|
Crooked cops, got a nigga scared to drive probably thinking
|
that I'm slanging man I see it in their eyes
|
But inside of my pocket is a dolla plus a dream
|
Yea you swear your girl is faithful everything ain't what it seems
|
See I seen how she glance and look away like she want it
|
I ain't saying I'm a fuck her but I could if I wanted
|
Know it hurts that she flirts with a nigga this is worst
|
I bet if I was to hit men, I wouldn't be the first
|
This is church, this is gospel
|
Spit it like I get from the Bible, for your survival
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I got a dolla and a dream, real niggas on my team
|
Everything ain't what it seems
|
[4x]
|
|
Check it
|
Ay Salle, I know I ain't been answering your calls, but shit, let me explain-
|
It's because times been hard, been runnin around trynna find a job
|
I hear my phone ringing in the morning, 9 o'clock
|
And it's you, can't even front I press ignore
|
I still got cha letters laying in my dresser draw
|
You telling me about all the things you did for me
|
When I was broke, you sent me doe and that was big for me
|
See you was there every year when I needed you,
|
And you were so quick to give I had to be with you
|
Remember when I used to call you on your phone line
|
I knew it was official when my momma cosigned
|
But in no time, a nigga graduated
|
I hit the real world, baby girl I'm sad to say it
|
But I was using you, you gave a nigga major stacks
|
And I know one day in my heart that I'm gonna pay you back"
|
I got a dolla and a dream
