Big Dreamer 2
From the complex to the hills Mama
Used to do it for the thrills Mama
Had a man up in the house but I longed for no real father
Still chasing these dreams
Shit is smoke and mirrors nothing what it seems
Heart of a lion there's no one that can compete
They tell me see you at the top but I know we'll never meet
Yeah but I know we'll never meet
Cuz I know it's meant for me
His truth gone set him free
These days you keep in real small circles around him
You know these frenemies be quick to let envy arouse 'em
Built up barriers for protection when you overlooked him
Funny is character being built up while no one's looking
Crazy how the new me he don't recognize the old me
Nothing ever happened to me no it always happened for me
Ma told me on this journey one thing for sure you gone learn
Tell it in your own words your story on your own terms
We coming from humble beginnings give a fuck what they thinking
Never give in or was in prison by others opinions
Watched you go through the worst we all get side tracked
But through the hurt put God first that's a life hack
Bless em' almost lost you more often I should be there for you
In the hospital lost it machines breathing for you
Distracting his absence raised me single handed
This world a balance beam we out here tryna stick the landing
From the projects to the hills Mama
Used to do it for the thrills Mama
Had a man up in the house but I ain't never had no real father
And so I chase these dreams
I'm on the rise but the bridge still not as steep
Heart of a lion there's no one that can compete
They tell me see you at the top but I know we'll never meet
Yeah but I know we'll never meet
Cuz I know it's meant for me
The truth will set you free
Believe half of what you see this ride comes with pain and scars
That's why I had to blood the seats
Same clothes several weeks
Mattress on the floor I could barely afford to eat
Was mentally always strong but my body getting weak
Had a sore liver poor dinner blisters on my feet
These hoes will do you slime like they created the streets
Got so much pain built up inside me grab the pen and release
The stakes are high I came from getting by stacking all my pennies
Downin' Henney just to feel alive
Hit the corner peel it wide
I fuck wit her feelings aside was feeling hurt I couldn't cry
It's not bout where I'm going it's more bout what I leave behind
And like my father left me abandoned
How will I ever be a man if I was never taught the standard
Watch my cousins get pampered and my Mama dismantled
I got some questions only God gon know the answers
From the projects to the hills Mama
Used to do it for the thrills Mama
Had a man up in the house but I ain't never had no real father
And so I chase these dreams
I'm on the rise but the bridge still not as steep
Heart of a lion there's no one that can compete
They tell me see you at the top but I know we'll never meet
Yeah but I know we'll never meet
From the complex to the hills Mama
Used to do it for the thrills Mama
Had a man up in the house but I longed for no real father
Still chasing these dreams
Shit is smoke and mirrors nothing what it seems
Heart of a lion there's no one that can compete
They tell me see you at the top but I know we'll never meet
Yeah but I know we'll never meet
Used to do it for the thrills Mama
Had a man up in the house but I longed for no real father
Still chasing these dreams
Shit is smoke and mirrors nothing what it seems
Heart of a lion there's no one that can compete
They tell me see you at the top but I know we'll never meet
Yeah but I know we'll never meet
Cuz I know it's meant for me
His truth gone set him free
