Joe Budden - Dream On lyrics

Now tell her we gotta clean
This whole spot out i don't care who she got
Coming I need five chairs
Tell Elva give me a mint Hookah
Give me a couple a peach Cirocs
And tell Bernice give me 10, 000 in singles
Parks, keep me up in the headphones
Let me talk some shit to them real quick
It go uh, uh

They tell me life's a bitch
I'm just celebrating fuckin' it
Table full of bottles
Now it's looking like my bucket list
Forward thinker, I ain't one to regress
Payin' no mind to these bitches
They just come with success
I spent Christmases giftless
Went too many Decembers broke
Never got a stamp but found a
Way to push the envelope


They told me I'd be dead
I'd never make it out
If I ain't accomplish shit else
Least I erased the doubt i'm so unassuming
I can't figure why I'm hated now
Even made depression seem like that
Wasn't a major bout
My dreams big, niggas tried to take 'em down
The jewel is in the perspective
Not the other way around
See my persona is calmer
Obama blended with Dahmer
Ever ponder your karma? Manana
Could see a llama and if a nigga do
Won't be complaints from me
I'll be all good with it, I
Did all I could with it, let's go

Chasing a dream
Doing what they say I couldn't have
Spending money the government say
I shouldn't have
Uh, and I'm taking my team with me
'Cause if none of it's real my
Niggas gon' dream with me
Dream on, chic-a chic-a, dream on
If ever one of you fall I'm
Here for you to lean on
Dream on, chic-a chic-a, dream on
Steel sharpens steel 'til the
Whole teams strong

This could've went totally different
See I could've been Heist
And Heist could've been me
We did the same B&E's
Same charges, same guns I popped off
He was away by then
Had to do seven in that eight-by-ten
(Talk to 'em) came home to no belongings
Everything to gain and nothing to lose
I'm in the polar opposite shoes
He wonder why we ain't as close as we was
How can I say it's been years
I'm not the Joe that I was
He see the car, the crib, a few chicks
And think it's come to fruition
If he knew the tuition I
Paid would view it different
Then we'd be in agreeance
Cash won't be a grievance
Downplaying my achievements
Afraid of how you'll receive 'em
Our bond is forever, I ain't gotta hide that
If I got, then you got
You can tell your pride that
I'll share it all, no complaints from me
Sometimes we all need a
Hand, real niggas understand, let's go

Chasing a dream
Doing what they say I couldn't have
Spending money the government say
I shouldn't have
Uh, and I'm taking my team with me
'Cause if none of it's real my
Niggas gon' dream with me
Dream on, chic-a chic-a, dream on
If ever one of you fall I'm
Here for you to lean on
Dream on, chic-a chic-a, dream on
Steel sharpens steel 'til the
Whole teams strong

See the fame I never asked for it (Word)
I'd have been cool in a
RAV4 delivering packages door-to door
Ain't ask for the scrutiny
The acts of buffoonery
From ma'fuckers that ain't never been
In a room with me
Fuck my perception, all of it is deception
Can't fuck just to fuck
Got to use my discretion
But, that don't take away from the blessing
Nah, I'd do it all over within a second
Providing for the fam beats riding in the Lam
Riding for the fans
Feel like catching lightning in a can
Understand, was built for this, made for it
Prayed for it, forget I even get paid for it
Forced to learn the game on
Our own without the coaches
Talent went unnoticed
This is hope for the hopeless
They get it all, no complaints from me
'Cause they gon' love how it feel
When the dream become real joey

Chasing a dream
Doing what they say I couldn't have
Spending money the government say
I shouldn't have
Uh, and I'm taking my team with me
'Cause if none of it's real my
Niggas gon' dream with me
Dream on, chic-a chic-a, dream on
If ever one of you fall I'm
Here for you to lean on
Dream on, chic-a chic-a, dream on
Steel sharpens steel 'til the
Whole teams strong

Word dream on
Chic-a chic-a, dream on
