Bow Wow - Big Dreams lyrics

rate me

I had a homie 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 detent fron the Cavaliers saying 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 something dumb instead

Go to war with the crew on the other side of town

And was more ready and Tony got laided 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

Growing 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 way side

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 way side reach for the sky

I knew a girl named Gina that was a hell of a singer

And everybody fell in love with her when they seen her

Babygirl was on the verge of signing a big deal

18 and life looked so so real

She was stuck with a dude that was all bad news

And all he ever did was give baby the blues

And she was true to a nigga, do for a nigga, pop you and your whole crew for a nigga

One night he came and 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 and he knew it wasn't right

Now he gotta deal wit it for the rest of his life

And the part I don't like he ain't even get grazed

But the home girl Gina is laying 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 way side

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 way side reach for the sky

I got a few relatives giving the family drama

Always got they hands out when they see me and my mama

One could have been a doctor, the other a chef

But when he got his own kitchen he was cooking something else

Now his life in the drain, a trifling shame

He all washed up, wife took everything

No car no more, no house

And everywhere he go he stole so they throwed him out

I was growing up looking up to be like them

Now I'm throwing up cash rolling up in the bent

I'm stuck with a dream I had since a shorty and I'll be damned if I let another man support me

Now Uncle June Buck 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 he crackhouse he there

When you got big dreams

when you got big dreams

When you got big dreams

keep ya eyes on da prize

don't fall to the way side reach for the sky
