Lyrics

[Intro] Now tell her we gotta clean this whole spot out I don't care who she got coming I need five chairs Tell Elva give me a mint Hookah Give me a couple a peach Cirocs And tell Bernice give me 10,000 in singles Parks, keep me up in the headphones Let me talk some shit to them real quick It go Uh, uh [Verse 1] They tell me life's a bitch, I'm just celebrating fuckin' it Table full of bottles, now it's looking like my bucket list Forward thinker, I ain't one to regress Payin' no mind to these bitches, they just come with success I spent Christmases giftless, went too many Decembers broke Never got a stamp but found a way to push the envelope They told me I'd be dead, I'd never make it out If I ain't accomplish shit else, least I erased the doubt I'm so unassuming, I can't figure why I'm hated now Even made depression seem like that wasn't a major bout My dreams big, niggas tried to take 'em down The jewel is in the perspective, not the other way around See my persona is calmer, Obama blended with Dahmer Ever ponder your karma? Manana could see a llama And if a nigga do, won't be complaints from me I'll be all good with it, I did all I could with it, let's go [Chorus] Chasing a dream, doing what they say I couldn't have Spending money the government say I shouldn't have Uh, and I'm taking my team with me 'Cause if none of its real my niggas gon' dream with me Dream on, chic-a chic-a, dream on If ever one of you fall I'm here for you to lean on Dream on, chic-a chic-a, dream on Steel sharpens steel 'til the whole teams strong [Verse 2] This could've went totally different, see I could've been Heist And Heist could've been me, we did the same B&E's Same charges, same guns I popped off, he was away by then Had to do seven in that eight-by-ten (Talk to 'em) Came home to no belongings, everything to gain And nothing to lose, I'm in the polar opposite shoes He wonder why we ain't as close as we was How can I say it's been years, I'm not the Joe that I was He see the car, the crib, a few chicks, and think it's come to fruition If he knew the tuition I paid would view it different Then we'd be in agreeance, cash won't be a grievance Downplaying my achievements, afraid of how you'll receive 'em Our bond is forever, I ain't gotta hide that If I got, then you got, you can tell your pride that I'll share it all, no complaints from me Sometimes we all need a hand, real niggas understand, let's go [Chorus] Chasing a dream, doing what they say I couldn't have Spending money the government say I shouldn't have Uh, and I'm taking my team with me 'Cause if none of its real my niggas gon' dream with me Dream on, chic-a chic-a, dream on If ever one of you fall I'm here for you to lean on Dream on, chic-a chic-a, dream on Steel sharpens steel 'til the whole teams strong [Verse 3] See the fame I never asked for it (Word) I'd have been cool in a RAV4 delivering packages door-to-door Ain't ask for the scrutiny, the acts of buffoonery From ma'fuckers that ain't never been in a room with me Fuck my perception, all of it is deception Can't fuck just to fuck, got to use my discretion But, that don't take away from the blessing Nah, I'd do it all over within a second Providing for the fam beats riding in the Lam Riding for the fans, feel like catching lightning in a can Understand, was built for this, made for it Prayed for it, forget I even get paid for it Forced to learn the game on our own without the coaches Talent went unnoticed, this is hope for the hopeless They get it all, no complaints from me 'Cause they gon' love how it feel when the dream become real Joey [Chorus] Chasing a dream, doing what they say I couldn't have Spending money the government say I shouldn't have Uh, and I'm taking my team with me 'Cause if none of its real my niggas gon' dream with me Dream on, chic-a chic-a, dream on If ever one of you fall I'm here for you to lean on Dream on, chic-a chic-a, dream on Steel sharpens steel 'til the whole teams strong [Outro] Word Dream on Chic-a chic-a, dream on
