$20 Dreams (feat. Taiche)

Yeah, uh
Growing up my father always gave me 20 bucks
I'm talking way before I knew what them dollars could does
Yeah, back when I would hold on to they cell phones
And let 'em use my bike before the night was up
Yeah, I remember
A lot of days
A lot of games
A lot of nights
A lot was gone
A lot was lost
A lot had died
Who would of knew that in my youth that I would see
Multiple friends gone in the wind for dollar signs
Something they never had
Something I grew up on
Sometimes I wonder If I was right for moving on
But I learned in this life I made
That you can't change those who don't want change
The sad truth, uh
But keep your head up, yeah
And no matter how hard it is it'll get better, yeah
Just hold on, uh
Even when it hurts
'Cause no matter how much
Money can never touch your worth
That's my word
Yeah,

Even when the storm gets heavy
Even when the sky gets cloudy
I know that your there with me
I know that you won't doubt me
And do it all for the green
But things ain't all what it seems
In these $20 dreams (Yeah)
Things ain't at all what it seems (Uh, yeah, listen)

And I'm learning as I grow old
Ain't nobody perfect even if them filtered photos
It feels like the world is getting colder and life is getting harder
Know a couple people older who still in need to get farther in life
No direction when it's all on screen
And it's way more pre-destined when it's all 'bout green
I heard that cash rules everything around me (CREAM)
But it's more to a dollar bill that can ground me
Got life inside my lungs
Love inside my heart
Purpose inside my person
And wisdom to be the spark
The dark can't beat the light
The shine come from the art
Giving you all my presence
My essence inside these bars
I write to make change
Rap to bring peace
Do it all for the people
What dollars can't ever bring
From this lifestyle
It's a blessing to see right now
For all my people living locked down
I tell you this

Even when the storm gets heavy (Gets heavy)
Even when the sky gets cloudy (Gets cloudy)
I know that your there with me
I know that you won't doubt me
And do it all for the green (For the green)
But things ain't all what it seems
In these $20 dreams
Things ain't at all what it seems

See where I'm from
A lot of people go after the money
And forget about they purpose
I'm here to tell y'all that y'all more than a dollar bill
For real
