You ever watch a dream manifest? (Real life) It's nothing like it DC 2 If you ain't got a dream, you ain't got nothing A lot of niggas changed on me when I got money Said it came with the game, and this what I wanted So I'ma hustle like the first time I got fronted For the love of the green and the love of the team Put together a circle that couldn't come in between Went from lint in my pockets to using money machines I got my city back popping and they don't want me to leave No, they don't want me to leave But I gotta go and get it though Time is money and I'm on a mission though Papi gotta eat, niggas shooting right around my mama way Cops run in my sister crib, I swear I gotta find a way Tryna touch a million dollars and I'm like a dime away Never ask a nigga for a handout, I would grind away Write my little raps, smoke my little weed Sold a little crack just to fund my little needs I was 16 getting on my little knees Asking the Lord please help me get a little cheese It was hard out (hard out), same time it was yard out In the jungle where niggas will rip your heart out Cold summers where niggas'll probably starve out Wanna be a kingpin from watching niggas ball out Couldn't blame us, they was tryna chain us But we was tryna fix the roof leak when it was raining We was tryna keep the house warm when winter came in But they rather detain us, locked us in cells, restrained us The razors, animals go in cages That's what the slave masters told the workers when they slaved us Small city, big dreams I been waiting on this day since I was 16 Since I was 16 I been waiting on this day since I was 16 Small city, big dreams I been waiting on this day since I was 16 Since I was 16 I been waiting on this day since I was 16 R.O.C. man told us "Sun don't shine" You know if his daddy hustling then his son gon' grind His father was locked up, now the son doing time When certain niggas get to starving, know that gun gon' shine Two felonies on his record, he got one more time? Get an app, picture that, he don't want no job Lost hope, some niggas don't even want no God They just want a little money just to come through fly 'Cause nobody never listens to the broke nigga 'Cause when you broke, you considered as a joke nigga If you a joke, you considered as a hoe nigga And no nigga wanna live life living poor nigga Small city, big dreams I been waiting for this day since I was 16 Selling white girl, I'm talking Christine Young boy with dreams of touching that big screen Small city, big dreams I been waiting on this day since I was 16 Since I was 16 I been waiting on this day since I was 16 Small city, big dreams I been waiting on this day since I was 16 Since I was 16 I been waiting on this day since I was 16

"It's not me exactly, that touches people It's what I represent The possibility that dreams long ago, may still come true Even if they look lost forever" I had a homey named Tony, 16, 6'2 Headed to the NBA straight from high school My nigga had his ball game on lock But at the same time, he was in love with the block All the stuff that came wit it, the drugs and the guns The gangs, the slang and all the funds He just got a letter of intent from the Cavaliers Sayin' how they love him and they wish he was there He had it made like Special Ed, about to get the bread But chose, to do, sumthin' dumb instead Go to war with the crew on the other side of town And was mo' ready, and Tony got laid down He ain't even have a chance Died before the ambulance, even got to him So many went through him I hate to tell the story, but that's how it is Growin' up in the hood as a kid When you got big dreams, don't listen to what nobody say And don't let nobody turn you away When you got big dreams, keep your eyes on the prize Don't fall to the wayside When you got big dreams Don't listen to what nobody say and don't let nobody turn you away When you got big dreams, keep your eyes on the prize Don't fall to the waste side, reach for the sky Knew a girl named Gina that was a hell of a singer And everybody fell in love with her when they seen her Baby girl was on the verge of signing a big deal Eighteen, and life looked so-so real She was stuck wit a dude that was all bad news And all he ever did was give baby the blues But she was true to a nigga, do for a nigga Pop you and ya whole crew for a nigga One night he came, picked her up told her, "let's ride!" That's the same night that he watched her die! They was tryna hit a lick, but the lick hit back Put a end to the deal, and all of that She ain't even have to be there, he know it wasn't right Now he gotta deal with it for the rest of his life And the part I don't like, he ain't even get grazed But the homegirl, Gina, is layin' in the grave When you got big dreams, don't listen to what nobody say And don't let nobody turn you away When you got big dreams, keep your eyes on the prize Don't fall to the wayside When you got big dreams Don't listen to what nobody say and don't let nobody turn you away When you got big dreams, keep your eyes on the prize Don't fall to the waste side, reach for the sky I got a few relatives givin' family drama Always got they hands out when they see me and my momma One coulda been a doctor, the other a chef But when he got his own kitchen, he was cookin' sumthin' else Now his life in the drain, a triflin' shame He all washed up, wife took everything No car, no mo', no house And everywhere he go, he stole, so they throwed him out I was growin' up, lookin' up to be like them Now I'm throwin' up cash, rollin' up in the Bent I was stuck wit a dream I had since a shorty I be damned if I let another man support me, now Uncle Junebug's sick, skinny as hell He got AIDS in his body from the needles he shared Everytime he get his welfare checks, he don't care If you wanna see him go to the crack house, he there When you got big dreams, don't listen to what nobody say And don't let nobody turn you away When you got big dreams, keep your eyes on the prize Don't fall to the wayside When you got big dreams Don't listen to what nobody say and don't let nobody turn you away When you got big dreams, keep your eyes on the prize Don't fall to the waste side, reach for the sky When you got big dreams When you got big dreams When you got big dreams When you got big dreams, keep your eyes on the prize Don't fall to the waste side, reach for the sky
