Lyrics

[Hook] When you dream Is it not what it seems? Give up all that you've pursued What are you gonna do? [Verse 1: Qheem the Redeemed] Back in the day when I was young, sky is the limit I'll admit it They told me that I could do anything I'm ridin' with it I did it without the gimmicks Creases in my pants feeling like I got a chance I'll win it From elementary to middle school When I got used to being on the honor roll Where my home wasn't conducive Mom's yelling at my Pop "stop" Seemed like my heart was cut up in the chop shop Like a scene of the lean on me Chewin on the Reese's While we smoke the greenery That's the scenery they not gonna do for ice creamery What happened to the kid in the photo? I don't know though He sippin' on gin, poppin' No Doze with a roll row Too young to quit, too old to dream That's the kissed 22, with a 22 in my jeans Throw it in the bushes while a man was telling me, "Stop!" Just to think when I was young, I wanted to be a cop Dreams shattered [Hook] When you dream Is it not what it seems? Give up all that you've pursued What are you gonna do? [Verse 2: Lee Majors] Come on! Yeah! Uh! Girly, girly Life is for the dreaming get your license and a Beamer Sacrifices getting creamer Open dollar hit the pure In the whip that's pure Then I get the pure Momma told me how it go I didn't listen to her Monkey on my back, I didn't get the cure Playing with my scratch when I react I got to pick the jerk Looking in the mirror I don't see me now Kids are screaming now Went from rehearsing Now I'm dancing with a demon now Jo-jo-dansa, this is a Bonanza It's a lonely romance, can you give me a hand sa'? I'm walking through the valley with the shadow of reality It's shadowed and I gotta be the battle, yeah God is bigger than what you realize And you should realize, and realize, real lies Realize, real lies and keep dreaming Uh! [Hook] When you dream Is it not what it seems? Give up all that you've pursued What are you gonna do? [Verse 3: Tiz tha Gator] Yeah Tiz tha Gator I grew up in the hood (Call them!) I was blazing them triggers Running with the terrorists I was raised with them hitters (Pow!) Dreams to be a superstar, sitting in a stupid car. (Huh?) Life is like a movie, so I already knew the part. (Yes, sir!) Posted on the same corner, 'til the cops run us off I remember clapping, hopping fences and the gun was lost. (C'mon) Put me on my feet a few times and I was feeling funny. (Dang) I tried to put my homie down, but he was stealing from me. (C'mon, son) Smoking on this Newport, tryna hope for better days Wrote me from the pin, and I'll take heed of what that letter say Plus, I did a bid for a gun that wasn't even mine's. (True that) Three years and no statement, read between the lines. (True that) I should've laughed when my grandma said, "Go in the house". (Word) I never thought later that night they'd be rolling me out I seen 'em coming, but I should've payed close attention. (Uh huh) This is a brief introduction of what I'm s'pposed to mention Dreamin' [Hook] When you dream Is it not what it seems? Give up all that you've pursued What are you gonna do?
