Saigon, Tony Collins - Forever Dreamin' lyrics

Yo i remember Extra P told Q
Tip "don't say the year"
But, I'ma say the year the year is 2012
The reason I'ma say the year cause we
Lost somebody very special to me
Very special to hip hop chris Lighty
We love you forever man c'mon

Oh, where I’m from it goes down everyday
Oh, but still I dream that
There’s a better way
Lord, everybody got a problem
Make a couple dollars
Gotta spend that on a bottle, yeah
Oh, so you can drown all your troubles away
Oh, or you can be what you destined to be
As long as I’m breathing
I’ma keep on living for the
Dream I believe in forever dreaming

Whether crack wars or rap tours
We walking them dogs
With the track jaws, attack frauds
Get tossed in the morgue
When I blast off past forward
My criminal past falls
Last cat that him and my
Paths cross is bad off
Talking bad off, I mean really really bad off
Let’s just say next time you see him
You gon take your hat off
Look America, it's Saigon from the abandoned
I’m probably one of Harriet
Tubman's great, great, great
Great grand kids what the fuck I care about
John Paul or Sir Francis?
Ask who original man is
They dance us around the answers
If we a micro in the macro of crackers
The Earth's cancers
Is willing to go against nature
And suffer the circumstances?
I got the intel
Of a nigga that study stem cells
Shit'll get ugly in hell
It’s no way it can end well
Police got a nigga barred from my own hood
Sometimes I think I’m too smart
For my own good

Oh, where I’m from it goes down everyday
Oh, but still I dream that
There’s a better way
Lord, everybody got a problem
Make a couple dollars
Gotta spend that on a bottle, yeah
Oh, so you can drown all your troubles away
Oh, or you can be what you destined to be
As long as I’m breathing
I’ma keep on living for the
Dream I believe in forever dreaming

I got a migraine, head throbbing
Feeling pain present outlook on life
Is that there’s nothing else to gain
The old timers scold the gold miners
See I suppose he telling all he knows once
The Wild Irish rose
Flows form in my brain, heavy verses
Purgatory in vain
3 on the rock, 3 on parole, it’s insane
My workers is getting greedier and greedier
Caught my partner black in his back
Now he suffer from paraplegia
Nothing getting easier
Cousin playing the game of crime
I aim the 9, emphasizing
See my frame of mind? Sniffing cocaine
I got a rhyme for every grain
Trying to maintain
Simply trying to stay in my lane
See money comes, money goes
Like a runny nose when you blow it
It going to your honeys and foes
I never thought I could be
Happier in bummier clothes
Well lookie here, Joe, what do you know

Oh, where I’m from it goes down everyday
Oh, but still I dream that
There’s a better way
Lord, everybody got a problem
Make a couple dollars
Gotta spend that on a bottle, yeah
Oh, so you can drown all your troubles away
Oh, or you can be what you destined to be
As long as I’m breathing
I’ma keep on living for the
Dream I believe in forever dreaming

I got a daughter in California I hardly see
Even 3000 miles away she’s a part of me
For her I'll spill every bit
Of blood in my artery
I'll kill a nigga whether he thug or he R&B
And to Milan
I'm trying to strengthen the bond
With your mom, so even when she bugging
I keep calm
Even if I needed niggas to write for me
They couldn't cause they wouldn't believe
In my life story

Oh, where I’m from it goes down everyday
Oh, but still I dream that
There’s a better way
Lord, everybody got a problem
Make a couple dollars
Gotta spend that on a bottle, yeah
Oh, so you can drown all your troubles away
Oh, or you can be what you destined to be
As long as I’m breathing
I’ma keep on living for the
Dream I believe in forever dreaming
