Black Dreams

One time for the dream
Two times for the riches
Three times for the team
Four times for the bitches
Five times for the ice
Six times for the whippings
Seven times for them nights
Eight times for expenses

For all them nights a motherfucker couldn't afford shit
From project chicks to models that niggas could toss quick
I wanna go from riding trains to whipping Porsche's
From a salary to me making the Forbes list let em know

Said I live by the dream and I'll die by the dream
Mentally I'm hearing my dead homies tell me live for me
They never got to get that old becoming victim of these streets
Cause the colder niggas get the more they whistling with the heat
For them youngin's shoveling snow freezing in that winter breeze
Remember me wearing long johns with a northface just to sleep
They out here borrowing some money or they robbing just to eat
At the least want the Jordan's or designer on our feet uh

Then buy momma a house
When we found life and we figured it out
I grew up stuffing the mattress now I got money in separate accounts
Dropped out of school so it's a matter of time before pressure amounts
Who would've knew I had some talent it adds up and look where it counts

Jordan's and Timb's to Balenci's
Polo Ralph Lauren to Fendi Givenchy
Sex with regular bitches to one day menage's with Nicki's uh
I talk to God nightly self assured my way to victory
Went from father forgive me to my nigga you picked me uh

One time for the dream
Two times for the riches
Three times for the team
Four times for the bitches
Five times for the ice
Six times for the whippings
Seven times for them nights
Eight times for expenses

For all them nights a motherfucker couldn't afford shit
From project chicks to models that niggas could toss quick
I wanna go from riding trains to whipping Porsche's
From a salary to me making the Forbes list let em know

I live by the dream, I die by the dream
Wherever I go gotta ride with the team
I grind with the team till we up getting bucks till these bills don't mean anything
We gon be a sight to be seen, showing what living life really means
So you better get ready ben and jerry's I'mma need that ice with the cream
We come from the gutter wanted it smoove but couldn't get butter
Couldn't think straight cause my mind so cluttered
Been ten years ain't see my mother uh

But i'mma still make her proud real shit gotta stand out from the crowd
Here for the money not here for the clout
Trapped in a trap tryna find a way out uh
Tryna see the light of day but broke niggas always got a lot to say
I think you need that two cents more than I do my guy that's not okay

I really need a house on the hills
Gotta clear these mountains of bills
Don't wanna be out in the field
Tryna find the quickest route to a mil

Cause you know what that lead to this streets done showed me a preview
You ain't hungry enough they'll eat you take more than a trip down to keyfood
You gotta want it more than he do, than she do, they need you
I ain't never see a snake turn real but I'm here just hoping black dreams do oh

One time for the dream
Two times for the riches
Three times for the team
Four times for the bitches
Five times for the ice
Six times for the whippings
Seven times for them nights
Eight times for expenses

For all them nights a motherfucker couldn't afford shit
From project chicks to models that niggas could toss quick
I wanna go from riding trains to whipping Porsche's
