If you ain't got a dream, you ain't got nuttin'
A lot of niggas changed on me when I got money
Said it come with the game and this what I wanted
So I'mma hustle like the first time, I got friendly for the love of the dream
In love with the team
Together, a circle, they couldn't come in-between
More from there in my pockets, they using money machines
I got my city back poppin' and they don't want me to leave
No, they don't want me to leave
But I gotta go and get it though
Time is money, anymore I miss you no
Poppy gotta eat, niggas shootin' 'round my momma wait
Cops run in my sister crib, I swear I gotta find a way
Try to take the million dollars and I'm like a dime away
Never asked a nigga for a hand, I always grind away
Watch my little rats, smoke my little weed
Sold a little crack just to fill my little needs
I was 16, gettin' on my little needs
Askin' a little please, help me get a little cheese
It was hot out, same time it was yard out
In a jungle where niggas will rip your heart out
Cold summers where niggas a bright starve out
Wanna be a kingpin from watch a nigga ball out
Couldn't blame us, devil was tryna chain us
We just tried to fix the roof leak when it was rainin'
We just tried to keep the house warm when winter came in
But they rub the detainers, lockers and cells of strangers, the razors
The animal go in cages, that's what the slave masters told the workers when they slaved us

Small city, big dreams
I've been waiting on this day since I was 16
Since I was 16
I've been waiting on this day since I was 16

Small city, big dreams
I've been waiting on this day since I was 16
Since I was 16
I've been waiting on this day since I was 16

Rock man told us sun don't shine
You know of his daddy I said in a similar grind
His father was locked up, now the son doin' time
Well certain niggas go to starvin' knowin' gang gon shine
Two felonies on his record, he got one more time
Get that, push that, he don't want no job, lost hope
Some niggas don't even want no god
They just want a little money just to come through fly
Cuz nobody ever listens to the broke nigga
Cuz when you broke, be considered as a joke nigga
If you a joke, you consider as a hoe nigga
And no nigga wanna live like livin' poke nigga
Small city, big dreams
I've been waiting on this day since I was 16
Saw this white girl, I'm talkin' Christine
Young boy with dreams touching that big screen

Small city, big dreams
I've been waiting on this day since I was 16
Since I was 16
I've been waiting on this day since I was 16

Small city, big dreams
I've been waiting on this day since I was 16
Since I was 16
I've been waiting on this day since I was 16
