Grand Puba - Dreams lyrics

Uh, uh, yeah, ya yeah
Ready, ready, ready, ready, uh

Now everybody wants to be rich (yeah)
Nobody wants to be poor (Uh, huh)
Every day ya hope ya hit the lotto (Uh)
So you don't have to slave no more
(yeah, yeah)
In the hood we flip things to them fiends
(Uh, huh)
Cause even hood niggas got dream (yeah)
Every day we get caught up in the struggle
(Uh) so we can live life, love, and bubble

Some jump up in the music
Game to get the green
Some do the acting thing to blow
Up on the movie screen
Some play ball hope they're drafted
By a pro team some say "man I'ma play the
Hood and serve the fiends"


Some go to school and after
That do that college thing
Some drop out, get high
Play the hood and bang
Some do the Wall Street, investors
Stocks and bonds
Some don't do shit and still
Home chilin' with their moms
Some move faster, get their Master's
Doctors, lawyers, self-employors
Some do Mickey-D's or some food spots
Some be radio jocks and slice
Niggas at barber shops
You got blue-collar cats
You got white-collar cats
You got no-collar cats tryin'
To stack a stack
You got cats who spend all day sippin'
And you got cats who just layin' back pimpin'

Now everybody wants to be rich (yeah)
Nobody wants to be poor (Uh, huh)
Every day ya hope ya hit the lotto (Uh)
So you don't have to slave no more
(yeah, yeah)
In the hood we flip things to them fiends
(Uh, huh)
Cause even hood niggas got dream (yeah)
Every day we get caught up in the struggle
(Uh) so we can live life, love, and bubble

Now you got some who play
The store and boost gear
And you got some who hustle heads doin' here
And you got some who secretary, bank tellers
And you got some who just
Look good for they fellas
You got some who's independent
Doin' they thing now
And you got some who wanna be
They just don't know how
You got some who babysit, daycare and shit
And you got some who hate
They job and wanna quit
You got some who housewives
Wanna stay at home
And you got some who's big
Bosses like Sylvia Rome
You got some who shake for dollars
Slide down a pole
And you got some who stressed
Playin' the mommy daddy role
You got some who spend
Their whole life savin'
You got some who's lookin'
For that rest haven
And you got some who tell that
Boss to kiss they ass and you got some who
Think makin' sellin' ends

Now everybody wants to be rich (yeah)
Nobody wants to be poor (Uh, huh)
Every day ya hope ya hit the lotto (Uh)
So you don't have to slave no more
(yeah, yeah)
In the hood we flip things to them fiends
(Uh, huh)
Cause even hood niggas got dream (yeah)
Every day we get caught up in the struggle
(Uh) so we can live life, love, and bubble

Somebody tried to tell you Heaven or
Hell is when ya die
Got chu' guessin' there's a better
Place up in the sky
See I see Heaven and Hell right
Here on this planet Earth
But mostly Hell ever since my
First day of birth
I've seen Heaven from a distance
Use my persistance
Overcome resistance and get me some
Ain't no money trees sittin'
Outside ya front door
Get up and handle yours if
Ya tired of bein' poor

Now everybody wants to be rich (yeah)
Nobody wants to be poor (Uh, huh)
Every day ya hope ya hit the lotto (Uh)
So you don't have to slave no more
(yeah, yeah)
In the hood we flip things to them fiends
(Uh, huh)
Cause even hood niggas got dream (yeah)
Every day we get caught up in the struggle
(Uh) so we can live life, love, and bubble

Now everybody wants to be rich (yeah)
Nobody wants to be poor (Uh, huh)
Every day ya hope ya hit the lotto (Uh)
So you don't have to slave no more
(yeah, yeah)
In the hood we flip things to them fiends
(Uh, huh)
Cause even hood niggas got dream (yeah)
Every day we get caught up in the struggle
(Uh) so we can live life, love, and bubble
