Meek Mill - Big Dreams lyrics

You ever watch a dream manifest?
(You ever watch a dream manifest?) real life
It's nothing like it
(It's nothing like it, It's
Nothing like it, it's nothing like it)
DC2

If you ain’t got a dream
You ain’t got nothing
A lot of niggas changed on
Me when I got money
Said it came with the game
And this what I wanted
So I’ma hustle like the first
Time I got fronted
For the love of the green and
The love of the team
Put together a circle that
Couldn’t come in between
Went from lint in my pockets
To using money machines
I got my city back popping and
They don’t want me to leave
No they don’t want me to leave
But I gotta go and get it though
Time is money and I’m on a mission though
Papi gotta eat
Niggas shooting right around my mama way
Cops run in my sister crib
I swear I gotta find a way
Tryna touch a million dollars and
I’m like a dime away
Never ask a nigga for a handout
I would grind away
Write my little raps, smoke my little weed
Sold a little crack just to
Fund my little needs
I was sixteen getting on my little knees
Asking the lord please help me
Get a little cheese it was hard out
(Hard out) , same time it was yard out
In the jungle where niggas will
Rip your heart out
Cold summers where niggas’ll
Probably starve out wanna be a kingpin from
Watching niggas ball out
Could you blame us, they was tryna chain us
But we was tryna fix the roof
Leak when it was raining
We was tryna keep the house
Warm when winter came in
But they rather detain us
Locked us in cells with strangers to raise us
Animals go in cages
That’s what the slave masters told the
Workers when they slaved us (They slaved us)

Small city
(Small city) , big dreams (Big dreams)
I been waiting on this day
Since I was sixteen (Sixteen, sixteen)
Since I was sixteen (Sixteen)
I been waiting on this day
Since I was sixteen (Sixteen)

Small city
(Small city) , big dreams (Big dreams)
I been waiting on this day
Since I was sixteen (Sixteen, sixteen)
Since I was sixteen (Sixteen)
I been waiting on this day
Since I was sixteen

ROC man told us "Sun don’t shine"
You know if his daddy hustling
Then his son gon’ grind
His father was locked up
Now his son doing time
When certain niggas get to starving
Know that gun gon’ shine
Two felonies on his record
He got one more time
Get an app, picture that
He don’t want no job
Lost hope, some niggas don’t even want no God
They just want a little money
Just to come through fly
‘Cause nobody never listens to
The broke nigga ‘Cause when you broke
You considered as a joke nigga
If you a joke, you considered as a ho nigga
And no nigga wanna live
Life living poor nigga

Small city
(Small city) , big dreams (Big dreams)
I been waiting for this day
Since I was sixteen
Selling white girl, I’m talking Christine
Young boy with dreams of
Touching that big screen (Big screen)

Small city
(Small city) , big dreams (Big dreams)
I been waiting on this day
Since I was sixteen (Sixteen, sixteen)
Since I was sixteen (Sixteen)
I been waiting on this day
Since I was sixteen (Sixteen)

Small city
(Small city) , big dreams (Big dreams)
I been waiting on this day
Since I was sixteen (Sixteen, sixteen)
Since I was sixteen (Sixteen)
I been waiting on this day
Since I was sixteen
