August Alsina - Dreamer lyrics

She was only 17 when she left
Home headin' off to college
Just the clothes on her back
40 dollars in the pocket
On the couch of a one bedroom apartment
Roommate tryna get her to pop
Her pussy for dollars
He was only 13, just a lookout on the corner
First he started off small
Couple pills and marijuana
Now he's thinkin' he should go
Out on the block
And see if he can get shit poppin'
He was tired of goin' in for
Just a little bit of profit, damn

She fell in love with the ballers and bottles
He fell in love with the block and the Glock
Now he totin' them choppers
Why does it seem like nobody else
Wanna be lawyers or doctors?
Nowadays everybody outchea tryna be
Dealers and models, just a thought

I guess that's how it goes
When it's all you know
And you ain't a dreamer
And you ain't a dreamer
I guess that's how it be
When it's all you see
And you ain't a dreamer
And you ain't a dreamer

Now you can find her on a the main stage
Shakin' and twerkin' and workin' so
Hard for them singles
20 for her to get naked, money
She see for the takin', she gonna take it
Been dancin' so long
She don't know when she'll be graduatin'
Friends tryna tell her she trippin'
She tellin' them to stop hatin'
3 years later, boy he grows into a man
Got a pocket full of money
9 mili in his hand
Momma prayin', tryna make him understand
That they just wanna put him in the
System, it's too late, now he convicted
Damn

She fell in love with the ballers and bottles
He fell in love with the block and the Glock
Now he totin' them choppers
Why does it seem like nobody else
Wanna be lawyers or doctors?
Nowadays everybody outchea tryna be
Dealers and models, just a thought

I guess that's how it goes
When it's all you know
And you ain't a dreamer
And you ain't a dreamer
I guess that's how it be
When it's all you see
And you ain't a dreamer
And you ain't a dreamer

She never dreamt about goin' to college
Choosin' her major, gettin' some knowledge
He never dreamt about livin' for something
All that he knew was he
Was tired of the struggle
She never knew that, she'd ever do that
Now she addicted to the money
And the new bags
And now he wish that, wish he could get back
All the time he lost, now he pays the cost

She fell in love with the ballers and bottles
He fell in love with the block and the Glock
Now he totin' them choppers
Why does it seem like nobody else
Wanna be lawyers or doctors?
Nowadays everybody outchea tryna be
Dealers and models, just a thought

I guess that's how it goes
When it's all you know
And you ain't a dreamer
And you ain't a dreamer
I guess that's how it be
When it's all you see
And you ain't a dreamer
And you ain't a dreamer

Oh shit another day, another God damn dollar
Man here we go all you gotta do is
Ask for it I would dip into
My last for it and if you took a trip around
The world, my nigga better have your
Passport oui oui, baby shit
Oui oui to you too
