Tangible Dream

[Verse 1]

I got dreams of being a rich nigga

A wealthy man is too grand to fit in the big picture

And being broke ain't even in the scope, so what's the plan?

I started thinking like really though, what does money get ya?

A lot of flights and a lot of nights with some loose women

A lot of hype is it really worth it? The truth pending

And I ain't waiting until the verdict is out

I'm trying to be just what I heard I'm about, and that's me

That's something you don't see, cause fronting is what we are used to

Well guess I'm out this motherfucker looking like the future

A black man in Norway, not another prejudice

While you can have your preference, I'ma be black all day

I'ma be out on Broadway, hands full of bags

Can't get a fucking cab, though the color of my cash

Is the same green as yours. Am I angry? Of course

Ain't nothing detained me from my cause, and that is...

[Chorus]

See, this is a tangible dream

They try to tell me that it's not and that's apart of the scheme

I can get it, yeah, I can get it, yeah

I can get it, yeah, you know I'm with it, yeah

See, this is a tangible dream

They try to tell me that it's not and that's apart of the scheme

I can get it, yeah, I can get it, yeah

I can get it, yeah, you know I'm with it, yeah

[Verse 2]

My old soul remains forever young

I've done it all and still I'm doing shit that I ain't ever done

See it depends on your definition of winning

I ain't start it from the bottom, I started from the beginning

Born up in uptown, PG is where I lived

Slept in a dresser drawer when we couldn't afford a crib

Parents got a divorce, my father got him a Benz

My mother remained poor, and I was caught in the mix

Now I'm eating fried chicken while talking 'bout philosophy

Debate the economy while clogging up my arteries

Ghetto boushie nigga so all that shit is apart of me

Gave a nigga an inch, when all we want is yard, see

See, this poverty under palm trees

Chilling near the grave and the grove is within arm's reach

But thanks to gravity apples is on the ground

And I use my GPS for the scrounge, show what I already found...

[Chorus]

See, this is a tangible dream

They try to tell me that it's not and that's apart of the scheme

I can get it, yeah, I can get it, yeah

I can get it, yeah, you know I'm with it, yeah

See, this is a tangible dream

They try to tell me that it's not and that's apart of the scheme

I can get it, yeah, I can get it, yeah

I can get it, yeah, you know I'm with it, yeah

[Verse 3]

So what are you bitching about?

Niggas want to run with the wolves, and now they sitting out

I mean at least you've got a chair, yet you stand for nothing

You'll fall for anything focused on never missing out

You know it's fall I got the layers all sticking out

The wax coating on the cotton like I'm rabbit hunting

Gentry, on a bike passing your Bentley

Cycling with a broad while your passenger seat is empty

Lord, she say I'm different I take her to do nice things

Getcha motherfucking car up out that bike lane

Ain't nothing worse than being dissed by a smug nigga

I have fun with you non-articulate thug niggas

My sarcasm is wasted in conversations

I say shit see the delay and then all I get is a, "What nigga?"

Friends of mine is mad that they never made it

The saddest state of affairs, cause they haven't covered the basics

Go on a couple tours, sleep on a couple floors

When the floors ain't available, there's van seats galore

Transform your biggest haters into supporters

Then have some of your supporters debate you like you in office

To make it a little awkward, mix your personal with business

That shit done turned angels into witches, I done witnessed

See wherever you run the drama will come to visit

If it never feels like drama then my nigga you got the ticket to this...

[Chorus]

See, this is a tangible dream

They try to tell me that it's not and that's apart of the scheme

I can get it, yeah, I can get it, yeah

I can get it, yeah, you know I'm with it, yeah

See, this is a tangible dream

They try to tell me that it's not and that's apart of the scheme

I can get it, yeah, I can get it, yeah

I can get it, yeah, you know I'm with it, yeah
