Dreamin

Lyrics

[Produced by Big K.R.I.T.] [Intro] Old school flow Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo They used to say They used to say This rap shit [Chorus] They used to say (He's dreamin') They used to say (He's dreamin') This rap shit (Is not for real) This rap shit (Is not for real) They used to say (He's dreamin') They used to say (He's dreamin') This rap shit (Is not for real) This rap shit (Is not for real) [Verse 1] Yeah, I remember it so clearly, rappin' to my pop About the cars and the clothes, shrimp and the lobster that I heard about Like word of mouth The UGK tape and Scarface will turn ya out I was like thirteen thirsting for a good beat Scoping for a studio talkin' bout I spit heat Like Ball & G, on that pimp-type shit Three 6 had me crunk on that late night tip [Chorus] They'd say (He's dreamin') They used to say (He's dreamin') This rap shit (Is not for real) This rap shit (Is not for real) They used to say (He's dreamin') They used to say (He's dreamin') This rap shit (Is not for real) This rap shit (Is not for real), yo, yo, yo [Verse 2] I played ball for a minute, did I mention, wasn't in it? Writing rhymes on my glove so I won't ever forget em Had to quit it, didn't feel it back in high school Rather write poems, known for flowing, that's what I do Couldn't be little Zac forever, peace to my big brother Follow your dreams, baby, that's word to my grandmother Well, I hear the streets tappin' out beats, kickin' my flow I overhear the same shit they always say before [Chorus] That (He's dreamin') They used to say (He's dreamin') This rap shit (Is not for real) This rap shit (Is not for real) They used to say (He's dreamin') They used to say (He's dreamin') This rap shit (Is not for real) This rap shit (Is not for real) [Verse 3] I told 'em call me KRIT, they told me change my name Don't be alarmed if you don't make it, that's just part of the game Besides, I ain't rapping 'bout dope nor did I sell it I guess the story of a country boy just ain't compelling A&Rs searching for a hit, I just need a meal Couldn't afford to pay the rent, but passed up on the deal, 'cause It wasn't right, sometimes you gotta wade the storm In a class of my own, but I was scared to raise my arm, like This my dream, this my life, I sacrificed it all Except my soul in the firm belief there is a God Watching out when all the others used to doubt Felt my pain and pointed down and said, "Son, your time is now" I think my grandma pulled some strings on the low But that's between her and the Lord, I'll never know For those that caught me in the Spin, in Complex magazine XXL, the Vibe and whatever in-between It's safe to say that dreams come true, I guess Don't let nobody tell ya, try for yourself Just know that I was once considered just a dreamer But I paid my dues and turned so many doubters to believers [Pre-Chorus] They used to say They used to say They used to say They used to say [Chorus] He's dreamin' He's dreamin' Is not for real Is not for real He's dreamin' He's dreamin' Is not for real Is not for real [Outro] I don't care if it is a dream I've got to believe in something, my love What can I do? What have I got to lose? You know, sometimes dreams do come true Might as well be a dream— dream— dream— dream—
