Atmosphere - Dreamer lyrics

rate me

She got a condition of the heart

A heart condition

So as a kid she had to adapt to smarter living

Not much room to rebel because of health

No drugs, no booze, just kiss and tell

Well known on the scene

Jailbait queen

Had the first baby barely eighteen

Father of the child was after one thing

When the daughter came the dad was unseen

It don't matter he ain't got a job

So she had to go to work and leave the baby with her mom

Second shift till the neck is stiff

But she worked it and built her own nest to live

Soon after that baby's daddy slash lazy bunk

With no cash he want to come over and crash

He want to play his part

So she let him move in to that garden level apartment

She knew better—she did it anyways

Explain better when your trying to see some better days

The suns up catch those rays

Butterfly style who's got chase

But she still dreams after she woke

Tight hold on that hope

Sometimes it can seem so cold

Do what you got to do to cope

Two years laters two months pregnant

Same daddy same broke ass situation

This time the doc said that her heart might break

Praise god that the job got her health benefits straight

She believes in the right to choice

But she loves baby girl and she wants a boy

Makes more now a days on the dayshift

Balance that with night class

Take some time and space and make it all fit

The apartment they now live in is overcrowded

Raised her voice and made her point

Told that boy go get employed

He put on his best shirt

Said he wasn't coming back till he gets work

She knew what that part meant

So she swept every piece out that apartment

Peace out keep out

Take the scenic route

Rather only have to feed three mouths

She adapts to everything know

And nobody asks what she dreams out

Little girl was the first reason to breathe

And the little man was the first man she believed in

She gotta live right and do right by self

She do for self she don't want your help

Afraid of being alone

But fear ain't enough to knock her off of that stone

Gonna make that home her home

With or without a man that she can call her own

Big boss at work is anxious

Continues to hand her the wrong advances

She passes the test

She knew the answers

Quit the job to go take a chance

With life

This is life we all scream

While we pray for dollars and we work for change

It's all the same, we all struggle

Sometimes you gotta say f**k you

When you smile and she doesn't return it

Give her room and don't disturb it

If it makes it hurt less to curse and fight

Go ahead and hate the world girl you've earned the right
