[J. Cole - Dollar and a Dream III lyrics]
Yeah, hey Cole world
Hey, I gotta dollar and a dream
That's all a nigga got
So if it's 'bout that cream
Then I'm all up in the spot
I got a dollar and a dream
Just a dollar and a dream
Cole, walk with a nigga, I give you my pain
So much on my mind
I wonder how it fit in my brain
Scattered thoughts
Dark secrets lead me to a blacker heart
Life can't get any worse
Stevie with his glasses off
'Cause, I still don't see hope
Lookin' for a quick fix
When everyone I see is broke
Get lost in weed smoke
Knowin' it make it worse
Thoughts roam uncontrollably
Barely trustin' niggas
Over a decade they been knowin' me
Shit, life at the bottom
Nobody but God got em'
They say he wouldn't leave me
Yet I'm fallin' like it's Autumn tell me
What do you do just when
You're on your last dollar
And the stress of this mess you
In can make your ass holla?
Do you fold, grow bitter and grow cold?
No longer fightin'
Now the only thing you grow is old
Or do you flip that fuckin'
Dollar to a dream?
Whether a scholar or a fiend
Watch a pawn become a king cole!
Young nigga with his jeans low
Nice guy, just got a mean flow
Never seen rich but he's seen poor
Mr dollar and a Dream in case she ain't know
That's all a nigga got
So if it's 'bout that cream
Then I'm all up in the spot
I got a dollar and a dream
Just a dollar and a dream
Yeah, armed and ready, you niggas strung out
You spaghetti
Ya paper, confetti, small time, y'all on one
I'm on mine
You logged off 'cause I'm online
Small talk from small minds
I wanna buy the mall but there
Ain't shit in this small town
This where I get my dough
My niggas make sure the money right
And then I rip the show
I run the town they tried
To call me underground
I spun around like, you wish
Homie my backpack Louis
Now watch just how I do this
I got the nerds rappin' hard shit
Dummies rappin' smart shit
Mozart meets Humphrey Bogart with this
From the heart shit
Play your part, life is but a dream for me
I get a flash of nightmares
When niggas scheme on me
It's hard to see my enemies
Who infiltrated my team
I take a step back and notice
That things ain't what they seem
That's when a nigga refocus
Yeah I turn on them high beams
I got that red dot waitin'
I'm wastin' your whole regime
I wish a nigga would
Boy you can't out-smart me
I let you feel like you the shit
But boy you can't out-fart me
Ya never have it, I know you want what I got
But nigga you ain't me
But you are what I'm not
And that's a phony ass, lonely ass
Cole is what you know me as
But we far from homies, if you know my mama
You know me if ya don't then well I'm sorry
You should get to know Kay
Man she been workin' too hard
I should send her a bouquet
My goal this year is a real one
Gonna stack a million and as soon as I do
Mama that 9 to 5 is through
And I know I ain't been callin'
But I'm thinkin' 'bout you
And all the shit that you been through
My girl and then my brother too
'Cause this life gets hard on this road
Yeah it's true i don't never tell you how
Much I be stressin', but I do
But, I suck it up for who?
My fans and my mans
Who probably never ever had this type
Of lifestyle in they plans
Hoppin' in and out of vans, on the buses
On the planes gettin' brain from a bitch
And thinkin' "Goddamn, what's her name?"
Sometimes I just shake my head and
Tell myself this is a shame
And then my other side kick in like, "Bitch
Don't be so fuckin' lame"
Dang, what a life, another day, another night
At times this shit is all blurry
Pray and hope that God heard me
Just for those prayin' for me
Man I know that y'all worry
But, I ain't never failed and you
Can bet I never will cole!
Young nigga with his jeans low
Nice guy, just got a mean flow
Never seen rich but he's seen poor
Mr dollar and a dream in case she ain't know
That's all a nigga got
So if it's 'bout that cream
Then I'm all up in the spot
I got a dollar and a dream
Just a dollar and a dream
Hey, 'cause nigga that's life
And trust me I'm livin'
Look what a nigga made out the
Shit that I was given
Look what a nigga made out
Look what a nigga made out
Got a dollar and a dream three
Hey, I gotta dollar and a dream
That's all a nigga got
So if it's 'bout that cream
Then I'm all up in the spot
I got a dollar and a dream
Just a dollar and a dream
Cole, walk with a nigga, I give you my pain
So much on my mind
I wonder how it fit in my brain
Scattered thoughts
