Dreams

[Intro: J. Cole] Yeah, uh, yeah You gotta lis— you gotta follow me what I'm doin' right here, man Like, when I say this shit is crazy, I don't mean it's crazy like crazy, I just mean crazy like it's fuckin'— it's actually crazy Know what I mean? Yeah [Verse 1: J. Cole] Seems like I always had crushes on chicks I couldn't have And then I end up fuckin' with someone I shouldn't have See, in my mind, it's like I'm perfect for her, I gotta show her But sadly, in reality, dog, I don't even know her But still somehow she got my mind infatuated, absolutely fascinated with the thoughts of what she might be like Time after time after time, I had to wait, is, is fate procrastinatin'? I can take it 'cause I might be right [Chorus: J. Cole and Brandon Hines] This is the girl of my dreams Yeah, ayy, is she good as what she seems? Uh, or am I lyin' to myself? Uh, ayy, should I try and get some help? Yeah, this is the girl of my dreams, uh Is she as good as what she seems? Uh Or am I lyin' to myself? Uh, ayy, should I try and get some help? Yeah, yeah [Verse 2: J. Cole] Oh shit, she passed me on the boulevard Hey, tell me, is it stalkin' if I follow her, like, all the way home without her knowin'? Nah, nigga, I'm just curious where she stay at Besides, when I'm with her, this gon' be the spot we lay at And maybe I'll just drive by occasionally And if one day I happen to see her outside, she'll wave at me Imagine what she'll say to me This ain't no time to be afraid no more, it's time for bravery No matter if my homies think I'm crazy [Chorus: J. Cole and Brandon Hines] This is the girl of my dreams, ayy Ayy, is she good as what she seems? Uh Or am I lyin' to myself? Uh Ayy, should I try and get some help? Yeah This is the girl of my dreams, yeah Is she as good as what she seems? Or am I lyin' to myself? Uh Ayy, should I try and get some help? Yeah, yeah [Verse 3: J. Cole] Look, I spot her walkin' in the mall Okay, it's time to grow some balls if she really gon' be yours Oh my God, I'm walkin' towards her My mind's screamin' stop, but my legs keep walkin' forward Straighten up your face, nigga, she see you comin' for her My heartbeat racin' and my hands keep shakin' Say somethin', you shy motherfucker, she's waitin' "What's up, girl? Don't mean to interrupt But in the city, I done met a lot of women, but You from my dreams, ayy, will you come true? I know about a show that we can catch some R&B and rap and you should come through" She said, "Uh, I'd love to, except I don't like rap Besides, if I went with you, then I don't really think my man would like that" Damn, damn Okay, you say you got a man I mean, I definitely understand I'm happy for you, really am I couldn't have been the only fan in the world of a girl like you I mean, you beautiful, and I'm sure he's a very nice dude It ain't no biggie Well, I'm sure that I'm gon' see you 'round the city Only thing I ask, if shit don't work out for y'all, don't forget me And don't act like a stranger when you see me on the scene I came up with a world-class scheme To get— [Chorus: J. Cole and Brandon Hines] The girl of my dreams Ayy, is she good as what she seems? Or am I lyin' to myself? Uh Or should I try and get some help? This is the girl of my dreams Ayy, is she as good as what she seems? Huh Or am I lyin' to myself? Uh Ayy, should I try and get some help? Yeah [Verse 5: J. Cole] Yeah, so I find out the nigga name, know exactly where he stayin' Find out when he leave for work, "Hold up, nigga, is you sane?" I'ma follow in my car, I'ma cut in front of his Run him right into the wall, maybe even off the bridge I give her a little time, then console her while she cryin' She gon' take that as a sign, finally she will be mine I'll be king and she'll be queen when I hit her with the ring At the wedding, who gon' sing? [Chorus: J. Cole and Brandon Hines] This is the girl of my dreams, haha Is she good as what she seems? Or am I lyin' to myself? And should I try and get some help? Ayy, this is the girl of my dreams Is she as good as what she seems? Or am I lyin' to myself? Think I should try and get some help [Outro: J. Cole] Uh, yeah, ayy What you think?
