The Dream

Lyrics

[Intro: Emilio Rojas] Look, yeah [Verse 1: Emilio Rojas] My first rap name was Iced Tea, that's 'cause my family call me Tito I was seven, I ain't know about the legend Ice T, though I was rhymin' in the mirror for my sisters and my primos That's before my father left and we was livin' with my tios It was nine to ten of us in that crib, jump by san bidos When the east side of my city felt like mini Puerto Rico My tio learnin' English just from watchin' cartoons Beads is hangin' in the doorway separatin' the rooms You see the cops in street clothes and know it's stamped from they shoes Or how they rockin' last year's fashion like it's new, huh I had a crew I used to cypher with (Used to cypher with) And we ain't care about gettin' famous, we just rap because we like the shit We rap because we love the shit When tables during lunch and shit My homies trapped and thought about bars when they was hustlin' I wasn't satisfied gettin' bread to double it They wanna buy Supreme, I wanna buy Supreme Court Justices Which means I need a hundred M's, I had to get signed My father left when I was ten, it was my job to provide I saw my idols makin' millions only off of they rhymes That's when I dreamt that what they got could be mine [Chorus: Timothy Bloom] Lookin' out my window, humbly I stare All that's seceltered for still from a dream (Dream) Dream Castles in the sky to oceans deep Such lucid feel To what I believe Dream [Verse 2: Emilio Rojas] Look, I moved to Brooklyn with my homie Ezon We were throwin' shows like Galapagos, we ain't roam the streets (Roam the streets) Yeah, that lead to tours overseas We went from homes, but we saw warzones to Warsol with Polish freaks No Florida Keys, if we had beaches, it's hypothic sea Who need a law degree when it's one to grieve between Nas and me? I used to call up Green and plot my approach But for me, ain't nobody from the rocket that's close But every time that I went home, them people talked like I owed And cats I never spoke with will ask to hop on my shows They payin' title too, 'cause we from the same place But friendships, it's just somethin' that I can't fake And clout chasin' is the one thing I can't take They tried to shake me down and ask for handouts like they were handshakes, huh It made me feel like I should sanitize From where sinners aim they cannons at the saints where they got cannonized I pass the time with all the things they use to fantasize Been ignorin' texts from my idols 'cause now they fans of mine Yeah, that's what you call progression And dreams change when every day, you get to build on your successes Yeah [Chorus: Timothy Bloom] Lookin' out my window, humbly I stare All that's seceltered for still from a dream (Dream) Dream Castles in the sky to oceans deep Such lucid feel To what I believe Dream
