Big Dreams

[Intro: DJ Drama]

You ever watch a dream manifest? (You ever watch a dream manifest?)

Real life

It's nothing like it (It's nothing like it, It's nothing like it, It's nothing like it)

DC2

[Verse 1]

If you ain't got a dream, you ain't got nothing

A lot of niggas changed on me when I got money

Said it come with the game, and this what I wanted

So I'ma hustle like the first time I got fronted

For the love of the green and the love of the team

Put together a circle that couldn't come in between

Went from lint in my pockets to using money machines

I got my city back popping and they don't want me to leave

No, they don't want me to leave

But I gotta go and get it though

Time is money and I'm on a mission though

Papi gotta eat, niggas shooting right around my mama way

Cops run in my sister crib, I swear I gotta find a way

Tryna touch a million dollars and I'm like a dime away

Never ask a nigga for a handout, I would grind away

Write my little raps, smoke my little weed

Sold a little crack just to fund my little needs

I was sixteen getting on my little knees

Asking the lord please help me get a little cheese

It was hard out (Hard out), same time it was yard out

In the jungle where niggas will rip your heart out

Cold summers where niggas'll probably starve out

Wanna be a kingpin from watching niggas ball out

Could you blame us, they was tryna chain us

But we was tryna fix the roof leak when it was raining

We was tryna keep the house warm when winter came in

But they rather detain us, locked us in cells with strangers to raise us

Animals go in cages

That's what the slave masters told the workers when they slaved us (They slaved us...)

[Chorus]

Small city (Small city), big dreams (Big dreams)

I been waiting on this day since I was sixteen (Sixteen, sixteen)

Since I was sixteen (Sixteen)

I been waiting on this day since I was sixteen (Sixteen)

Small city (Small city), big dreams (Big dreams)

I been waiting on this day since I was sixteen (Sixteen, sixteen)

Since I was sixteen (Sixteen)

I been waiting on this day since I was sixteen

[Verse 2]

R.O.C. man told us "Sun don't shine"

You know if his daddy hustling then his son gon' grind

His father was locked up, now his son doing time

When certain niggas get to starving, know that gun gon' shine

Two felonies on his record, he got one more time

Get an app, picture that, he don't want no job

Lost hope, some niggas don't even want no God

They just want a little money just to come through fly

'Cause nobody never listens to the broke nigga

'Cause when you broke, you considered as a joke nigga

If you a joke, you considered as a ho nigga

And no nigga wanna live life living poor nigga

Small city (Small city), big dreams (Big dreams)

I been waiting for this day since I was sixteen

Selling white girl, I'm talking Christine

Young boy with dreams of touching that big screen (Big screen)

[Chorus]

Small city (Small city), big dreams (Big dreams)

I been waiting on this day since I was sixteen (Sixteen, sixteen)

Since I was sixteen (Sixteen)

I been waiting on this day since I was sixteen (Sixteen)

Small city (Small city), big dreams (Big dreams)

I been waiting on this day since I was sixteen (Sixteen, sixteen)

Since I was sixteen (Sixteen)

I been waiting on this day since I was sixteen
