Dreamer - August Alsina
She was only 17
when she left home
Heading off to college
Just the clothes on her back
40 dollars in her pocket
On the couch of a
one bedroom apartment
Roommate tryna
get her to popping
pussy for dollars
He was only 13
Just a lookout on the corner
First he started off small
couple pills and marijuana
Now he's thinking
he should go out
on the block and see
if he could get shit popping
He was tired of going 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's toting them choppers
Why does it seem like
nobody else wanna be
lawyers and doctors
Nowadays everybody outchea'
tryna be dealers and models
Just a thought
I guess that's how it goes
When it's all you know
and you ain't a dreamer
And you ain't a dreamer
I guess that's how it be
when it's all you see
And you ain't a dreamer
and you ain't a dreamer
Now you can find her
on the main stage
Shaking and twerking and working
so hard for them singles
20 for her to get naked
Money she see for the taken
she gonna take it
Been dancing so long
she don't know
when she'll be graduating
Friends try to tell her
she tripping
she telling them to stop hating
Three years later
boy grows into a man
Gotta pocket full of money
nine milli in his hand
Mama praying tryna
make him understand
That they just wanna
put him in the system
It's too late
now he's convicted damn
She fell in love with
the ballers and bottles
He fell in love with the
block and the glock
now he's toting them choppers
Why does it seem like nobody else
wanna be lawyers and doctors
Nowadays everybody outchea'
tryna be dealers and models
Just a thought
I guess that's how it goes
When it's all you know
and you ain't a dreamer
And you ain't a dreamer
I guess that's how it be
when it's all you see
And you ain't a dreamer
and you ain't a dreamer
She never dreamt
about going to college
choosing a major
getting some knowledge
He never dreamed
about living for something
All that he knew was
he was tired of struggle
She never knew that
she'd ever do that
Now she addicted to the money
and the new bags
And now he wished that
wished 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's toting them choppers
Why does it seem like nobody else
wanna be lawyers and doctors
Nowadays everybody outchea'
tryna be dealers and models
Just a thought
I guess that's how it goes
When it's all you know
and you ain't a dreamer
And you ain't a dreamer
I guess that's how it be
when it's all you see
And you ain't a dreamer
and you ain't a dreamer
Oh shit another day
another goddamn dollar man
Here we go
All you gotta do is ask for it
and I would dip into
my last for it
And if I took a trip
around the world
my nigga better have ya passport
I'm on the way
Oui oui baby
Oui oui you too
