[J. Cole - Dollar and a Dream II lyrics]
Can I can I get on-
Can I just get on this bus? All
I got is a dollar fifty
I'm just sayin' i just
Tryna get- I'm tryna get on the bus
Man i ain't got no mon- all I got
Is a dollar fifty, I don't go two
Dollars man, fuck you and yo' bus, nigga!
(yeah)
Hey, hey (yeah, got a dollar and a dream)
Yeah, yeah
I got a dollar and a dream (yeah) , yeah
I got a dollar and a dream
Real niggas on my team
(Hey, hey hey hey hey hey)
Everything ain't what it seems
I got a dollar and a dream, hey
(Hey, I'm dreamin')
Ayy, ayy, I got a dollar and a dream
Real niggas on my team
Everything ain't what it seems (Uh)
Niggas hating but I love them even
Though they trying to scheme
But, I'm past that
(Past that) , a nigga's stock is
Rising like the Nasdaq (Uh, huh)
They say I’m the future but
Yet I’m giving niggas flashbacks
Of better days when you ain't have
To settle for whatever played
I represent the struggle, nigga
I say what they never say
Whenever they spit that
Bullshit they spittin' this that pulpit
I’m hittin' niggas with the gospel
(And the lord said) hostile with them hoes
I got a dollar in my pocket plus a dream
Yeah you laughing my nigga but
Everything ain't what it seems
What it means to know your mama
Or your father on that pipe
On that hard white
I’ll tell you what them scars like
I’m speaking through these bars like
A nigga in the jail
Tired of siftin' through my mail
I feel like Cartwright, bills
(Bills and bills and bills)
For real, a nigga ill
Just let me do the talkin', man
I know how niggas feel
I got a dollar and a dream
Real niggas on my team
Everything ain't what it seems
(God damn, nigga these
Motherfuckin' bill collectors, man)
I got a dollar and a dream
Real niggas on my team
Everything ain't what it seems
(Can't even God damn turn on my phone
Without these nigga ringin' me up)
I got a dollar and a dream
Real niggas on my team
Everything ain't what it seems
(They tryna call me from
Different numbers and shit
Tryna- tryna fool me, nigga i'm Lil Cole
Nigga) yeah, got a dollar and a dream
Real niggas on my team
Everything ain't what it seems, yeah
I got a dolla and a dream
Real niggas on my team
Everything ain't what it seem
Every lady ain't no ho and
Every bitch ain't no queen
Every nigga ain't no dog and
Every nigga ain't no king (Uh, huh)
Shit be happening for a reason
Everything is everything
Every nigga can't dunk
Some white man can jump (Haha)
They shootin' niggas 'fore they even tell
'em put their hands up
Crooked cops got a nigga scared to drive
Probably thinkin' that I’m slangin', man
I see it in their eyes
But inside of my pocket is a dollar
Plus a dream
Yeah, you swear your girl is faithful
Everything ain't what it seems
See, I seen how she glance and
Looked away like she want it
I ain't sayin' I'ma fuck her
But I could if I wanted
Know it hurts that she flirt with a nigga
This is worse i bet if I was to hit
Man I wouldn’t be the first (Nah)
This is church, this is gospel
(And the lord said)
Spit it like I get it from
The Bible for your survival
I got a dollar and a dream
Real niggas on my team
Everything ain't what it seems
(yeah, ayy, yeah, yeah yeah)
Ayy, I got a dollar and a dream
Real niggas on my team
Everything ain't what it seems
(Uh uh, uh, uh)
Ayy, I got a dollar and a dream
Real niggas on my team
(Wait 'til I get my money ri- hehehehe)
Everything ain't what it seem
Yeah, I got a dollar and a dream, yeah
I got a dollar and a dream
(Wait 'til I get my money right
I'm dreamin')
Check it aye Sallie
I know I ain't been answerin' your calls
(Aww, not this bitch, yeah)
But shit, let me explain-
(I can explain, I can explain)
It's because times been hard
Been runnin' 'round tryna find a job
(I can't get no job)
I hear my phone ringing in the morning
9 o’clock and it's you
(God damn) , can't even front
I press ignore (yeah)
I still got your letters layin'
In my dresser drawer (Haha)
You tellin' me about all the
Things you did for me
(I know, I know, I know, I know)
When I was broke
You sent me dough and that was big for me
(I know, I know, big for me)
See you was there every year
When I needed you
And you were so quick to give
I had to be with you
Remember when I used to call
You on your phone line
I knew it was official when my mama cosigned
(Haha, yeah)
But in no time, a nigga graduated
I hit the real world, baby girl
I'm sad to say it but, I was usin' you
You gave a nigga major stacks (Major stacks)
And I know in my heart one day
That I'm gon' pay you back
I got a dollar and a dream
I'll pay you back look, can we- can we set
Up some type of payment
Plan or somethin'? Like, you know what
I'm sayin'? Like
You know? I just graduated six months ago
So you know, times is kinda-
Times is kinda hard
Baby i I just- can I just pay you like a lil'
Bit right now and then I pay you- I pay
You the rest next- next month
When I get paid can
I just do somethin' like that?
I gotta- I'm not
Even gon' lie to you, I don't
I don't really have it right now i
Gotta pay how much? Five thousand dol-
Aw, nigga is you crazy? Bitch
You lucky I even answered
The phone, I shouldn't have even
Picked up this motherfucker, i s- Look
What's ya- what's ya name? Can I can
I speak to a manager? You
Are the manager? Look, look
Can I speak to yo' manager?
Who's- who owns this motherfucker?
Let me talk to the owner! God damn it
I ain't- y'all niggas crazy hahaha
