Dreamer

She was only seventeen when she left home, headin' off to college
Just the clothes on the back forty dollars in the pocket
On the couch of a one bedroom apartment
Roommate tryna get her to pop her pussy for dollars
He was only thirteen, just a lookout on the corner
First he started of small, couple pills and marijuana
Now he's thinkin' he should go out on the block
And see if he can get shit poppin'
He was tired of goin' in for just a little bit of profit, damn

She fell in love with the ballers and bottles
He fell in love with the block and the Glock
Now he totin' them choppers
Why does it seem like nobody else wanna be lawyers or doctors?
Nowadays everybody out there tryna be dealers and models
Just a thought

I guess that's how it goes
When it's all you know (know)
And you ain't a dreamer (you ain't a dreamer)
And you ain't a dreamer
I guess that's how it be
When it's all you see (all you see)
And you ain't a dreamer (you ain't a dreamer)
And you ain't a dreamer

Now you can find her on a mainstay
Trickin' and twerkin' and workin' so hard for them singles
Twenty for her to get naked
Money she see for the takin'
She gonna take it
Been dancin' so long she don't now when she'll be graduatin'
Friends tryna tell her she trippin'
She tellin' them to stop hatin'
Three years later, 'fore he grows into a men
Got a pocket full of money, nine milli in his hand
Mama prayin' tryna make him understand
That they just wanna put him in the system
It's too late now, he convicted, damn

She fell in love with the ballers and bottles
He fell in love with the block and the Glock
Now he totin' them choppers
Why does it seem like nobody else wanna be lawyers or doctors?
Nowadays everybody out there tryna be dealers and models
Just a thought

I guess that's how it goes (goes)
When it's all you know (know)
And you ain't a dreamer (you ain't a dreamer)
And you ain't a dreamer (you ain't a dreamer)
I guess that's how it be
When it's all you see (all you see)
And you ain't a dreamer (you ain't a dreamer)
And you ain't a dreamer

She never dreamt about goin' to college
Choosin' her major
Gettin' some knowledge
He never dreamt about livin' for somethin'
All that he knew was he was tired of the struggle
She never knew that
She'd ever do that
Now she addicted to the money and the new bags
And now he wish that
He could get back
All the time he lost
Now he pays the cost

She fell in love with the ballers and bottles
He fell in love with the block and the Glock
Now he totin' them choppers
Why does it seem like nobody else wanna be lawyers or doctors?
Nowadays everybody out there tryna be dealers and models
Just a thought

I guess that's how it goes (goes)
When it's all you know (know)
And you ain't a dreamer (you ain't a dreamer)
And you ain't a dreamer (you ain't a dreamer)
I guess that's how it be
When it's all you see (all you see)
And you ain't a dreamer (you ain't a dreamer)
And you ain't a dreamer
