Been Dreamin’

Lyrics

[Intro - Les Brown] I want you to think about your dreams Because I'm in a room full of dreamers Think about your dream right now, what you think about it And envision it Now ladies and gentlemen, let me share something with you I do not believe that any of us have dreams That were not given to us for the purpose of accomplishing those particular dreams And I want to share something with you that has changed my life I started out as a syndicated ?? A very humble beginning I don't know what that dream is that you have I don't care how far-fetched it might appear to bе I don't care how disappointing it might have been, as you've been working towards that drеam, but here's what I know That that dream that you're holding in your mind, that it's possible Let's say that together please, that it's possible See sometimes we can't say "I can do that" But what we can say, is that it's possible [Verse 1] I been dreamin' I slipped, man I been dreamin' I fall I been dreamin' I tripped, every time that I call I been dreamin' of money, I been dreamin' of cars I been dreamin' of dream girls that only date stars I been dreamin' these dreams since my beginning of living I been dreamin' of women, jackpot full of millions I been dreamin' in day time, they say that I'm tired I been dreamin' like real life is finally expired I been dreamin' of pitfalls, and fools of fire I been dreamin' of pitbulls, and wolves and tigers What's that mean, I wonder, I been dreamin' of snakes Ain't even seen the jungle, but I dreamed I was an ape I dreamed I was a king, I dreamed I was a great I dreamed I was on time, I dreamed that you would wait I dreamed I saw the sunrise on top of a lake I dreamed 'til I saw a gun rise, in front of my face [POW] [Verse 2] How you niggas feel about a villain now When it's in your building now When it is your children now I been in the breeze, Mr. Freeze, I been chillin' out Mama hit her knees in the streets when they wheeled him out Figured out, life ain't all a dream Nice ain't all it seems Wife ain't always queen Price on all these things They threw rice, now wife threw wedding ring Ego bruised, put ice on everything He went to school, had a problem with some dudes Took his shoes, now he moves with a knife by any means Cars passing, Broadway where broads casting Politicking all night like Larry King Who these little niggas think they is We just really kids sipping lean, only dream now of killing things Mood as fuck, lose your luck tryna fool with us We was young bucks but those buckshots grew us up Knew it's tough but diamonds is shining through the rough Come off the ground so polished, it's like my shoes was buffed Dropped gems like Adam Sandler, every jewel uncut Every day's a play, every move is up They say nothing come to us sleeping but a dream Boy I had to cut the strings It wasn't the toughest thing 'cause I'll never be a puppet for the green Come into the scene like "fuck it, I'm a king. What you mean, nigga?"
