I got a dolla and a dream, real niggas on my team Everything ain't what it seems [x4]
I got a dolla and a dream, real niggas on my team Everything ain't what it seems Every lady ain't no hoe, and every bitch ain't no queen Every nigga ain't no dog, and every nigga ain't no king Shit be happening for a reason, everything is everything Every nigga can't dunk, so white man can jump They shooting niggas fo' they even tell em put their hands up! Crooked cops, got a nigga scared to drive probably thinking that I'm slanging man I see it in their eyes But inside of my pocket is a dolla plus a dream Yea you swear your girl is faithful everything ain't what it seems See I seen how she glance and look away like she want it I ain't saying I'm a fuck her but I could if I wanted Know it hurts that she flirts with a nigga this is worst I bet if I was to hit men, I wouldn't be the first This is church, this is gospel Spit it like I get from the Bible, for your survival
I got a dolla and a dream, real niggas on my team Everything ain't what it seems [x4]
Ay Salle, I know I ain't been answering your calls but shit, let me explain It's because times been hard, been runnin around trynna find a job I hear my phone ringing in the morning, 9 o'clock And it's you, can't even front I press ignore I still got cha letters laying in my dresser draw You telling me about all the things you did for me When I was broke, you sent me doe and that was big for me See you was there every year when I needed you And you were so quick to give I had to be with you Remember when I used to call you on your phone line I knew it was official when my momma cosigned But in no time, a nigga graduated I hit the real world, baby girl I'm sad to say it But I was using you, you gave a nigga major stacks And I know one day in my heart that I'm gonna pay you back" I got a dolla and a dream
