Tayyib Ali - Dreaming lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1]

Ayo, this press is all up on me

Dreams fly past, I just watch the sky

You know the feeling when you made it and your mother cry

The motivation when you hated by them other guys

Growing up the block hot as the month of July

I never leaving the game so I just say goodnight

This like a toy store, I'm touching everything in sight

Yeah, that's why they look at me when the mike's on

And them girls fall in love when the lights off

You can make it if you go for your dreams

Couldn't do it now I overachieve

Which y'all niggers never believed

But, nobody better than me

So what they telling me

One for the city that I'm from

Two for the troubles life

Fuck it, you've gotta overcome

My mind said let's get it done

I hate letting down so I'm never giving up

You with it

[Hook]

My brothers, my people

You and your whole world

Keep dreaming

They crochet, don't see it

Where we at now, can't believe it

Keep dreaming

[Verse 2]

Now I've been rolling round so many towns

Still the Keystone holding me down

Yo, I'm focusing now, everybody got hope in me now

So I can't get my dream up, I'm fresh fatigued up

Yes I need buzz, grinding in some lite of that

Waiting around, you ain't getting nothing out of that

Hit the tracks with no school, I'm young and so smooth

Old schoolers know that I won't lose

Philly where they say is always sunny

And ain't nothing changed, it's all about money

The chips and cars, fast life, pick the broad

Highschool dropout, pimped out your rod

And you would understand why if you know where I come from

Houston I smoke but had it in if you want some

Yup, but things changed man, I dreamed it by the day

And now the whole town know my name

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

I used to skate where they hustled on the same corner

And if you staying it's a bullet with your name on it

Niggers is out of order, but still my name brought up

And they remain caught up; the same shit from last year

Damn, my homies ain't getting it, they only been assist

Take it to these Benjamins, I try to tell them

By bragging about the shit I did but it gonna end with Amen

Then they on the strip again, I think it's cool

We gonna make it and I feel it man

Cause now I'm rocking arenas and ya I'm killing it

We need a bunch of believers and nothing different

Cause when I started achieving, I made a difference

You feel me? Used to be the kid disturbing the block

You heard of me, right?

Verbally nice niggers used to tell me to stop

Long flights, across coasts, do I feel like coming home?

I don't know

[Bridge]

Cause this a small world when you dream so big

Gonna rouse trynna make it out

[Hook]
