tyrese - dreamers lyrics
[verse 1: tyrese]
when i was on the block
it was the n+ggas that said it’s all good, that wasn’t good
yeah, they kept the block hot, and watch
ah, f+ck the police was the normal mentality
ratchet on my block while getting served by cops
by the hook or crook, me and my n+ggas had to get it
and i kept a bad b+tch on my handlebars i was hittin’
they asked me how did i survive in south central
a.k.a. the city of the unpredictable, so they say
it’s real simple if you ask me
if you ain’t really ’bout that life, n+gga, have a seat
i was born in the belly of the beast
so еither you crippin’ the blood or sellin’ drugs, n+ggas gotta gеt it
your baby boy was really one of those
boys in the hood considered a menace to society from the n+ggas i had around me
but i always felt different
we might be cut from the same cloth
but i’m not tryin’ to be none of y’all
i was born a king
my mama gave birth to martin luther king so i could dream
thinkin’ there’s gotta be somethin’ better out there
i’m puttin’ my life on the line every day for my n+ggas stayin’ here
it’s hard to dream
when i’m livin’ this reality
wolves in sheep clothin’ surroundin’ me
i pray to god to hear my heart
but for now i’ma keep dreamin’
i’ma keep dreamin’ for more
[chorus: musiq soulchild]
life from my blood, stab you in the back
deep in the hood is where you’re at
my n+gga, that’s why you always gotta stay
ten toes down in the ghetto
it’s all by design
when you play it all from life (life, life)
life from my blood
[verse 2: kurupt & musiq soulchild]
the fantasy’s real thing
this is how the dreamers dream
the smith and wesson screams
heaven on earth
this is how i expand
they make documentaries about me, like this was gangland
dreamin’ about my life
it’s a vision of a prince
posted with the homies by the side of the fence
just dream (just dream, just dream)
but at some point you gotta wake up
ain’t n0body comin’ in and out here trying to take us out
how the f+ck am i fightin’ for your life
why you out here tryin’ to take mine
don’t you hear your momma, brother, sister, baby cryin’
we don’t need no more dyin’ (no dyin’)
og marvin told her we just need to find (need to find)
find a way to figure out what’s really going on (what’s going on)
i know ain’t n0body got all the answers but
but who gon’ start asking questions tonight
i ask myself how to survive in south central
keep to yourself
this a mode of entry
i gotta live, man, i gotta live
i’m here for a reason
god gave me four kids
murder, rape, rise
it’s just me and black ty
sitting back thinking ’bout lies
martin luther king dreamin’
words of wisdom and war
i do dirt by my lonely
me, myself only, watch
[chorus: musiq soulchild]
life from my blood, stab you in the back
deep in the hood is where you’re at
my n+gga, that’s why you always gotta stay
ten toes down in the ghetto
it’s all by design
when you play it all from life (life, life)
life from my blood, stab you in the back
deep in the hood is where you’re at
my n+gga, that’s why you always gotta stay
ten toes down in the ghetto
it’s all by design
when you play it all from life (life, life)
life from my blood
