paintriiip - can i dream? lyrics

[produced by pete rock]

[hook]
things ain’t always as good as they seem
but that don’t mean a brotha can’t dream
hey can we dream?
hey can i dream?

[verse 1]
a friend once told me a very wise thing
everything is money but money ain’t everything
see money makes the world go ’round, my dude
see money is a part of everything i do
it cost money to make dreams and make things
happen, but no profit’s guaranteed, hate me
but i’m just tryna warn you all as modern day fiends
we want that shit so badly, thinking they just day dreams
and that’s sad to say, smoking on my sadder days
by the way that’s saturday’s, when all these things are out the way
truth be told i haven’t made a penny off this rap shit
but i’ve spent at least a couple thou, how’d that happen?
i’m just curious, i’m just tryna get mine
i don’t wanna get crossed out by a red line
everybody sleeping on me like it’s bedtime
time is of the essence, i’m just hoping that i get time

[hook]
things ain’t always as good as they seem
but that don’t mean a brotha can’t dream
hey can we dream?
hey can i dream?

[verse 2]
take it slow, take it easy, take a breather man
you gotta flow and make it steezy if you want to be the man
make it last forever don’t be popping for the season man
i know you on a roll, with your goals, but don’t leave the plan
get high, get by, leave the rest behind
you could do you homie cause i’m busy getting mine
i’m walking in the dark to find the light but i still lead the blind
life’s a cakewalk, a piece of pie, well i’m eating mine
it’s got a bitter taste, oh well that’s the dinner plate
can’t complain, hunger pains, please don’t make a winner wait
i’ve grown a lot faster than the typical beginner rate
did i stutter motherf-cker? don’t make me reiterate
uh, we on the road to success now
who is really down to ride? who gon hold the best down?
aquafina fiends hit us up for the sex now
imma beat your team, guess you better keep your heads down

[hook]
things ain’t always as good as they seem
but that don’t mean a brotha can’t dream
hey can we dream?
hey can i dream?

[verse 3]
i been dreaming, facing my demons
i believe and then i achieve it
cause i just wanna make me a million
that’s all i wanna do
i’ve been trying, constantly writing
every night, i’m battling, fighting
got to beat the odds that i’m tried with
that’s what i gotta do
things ain’t easy, no one can beat me
the trees i’m blowing, they make me feel breezy
i’m just breathing, the trees got me cheesing
i’m always on the move
shout out to myk, he always tells the truth right
he’s dropping that knowledge just trying to shed a new light
got me rethinking myself under the moonlight
every day reminds me of why i’m having to fight, cause

[hook]
things ain’t always as good as they seem
but that don’t mean a brotha can’t dream
hey can we dream?
hey can i dream?
