What I Dream Of

[Intro]
(Ooh Yeah Yeah)
That's Right
This Track Right Here
Is For My People
Tryin To Rise Above All The Obstacles
Keep Your Head Up
And Do What You Gotta Do
Aye Dave Give Me That Beat Big Dog

[Verse 1]
I Play For Glory
Ain't Nobody Wanna Reach Me
I'll Keep My Ears Open
In Case You Want To Teach Me
And I'll Be Preachin The Ways Of The Streets
I'll Pave The Path For Children
Trying To Dream Like Me
These Streets Are Hard
Tryin To Survive By The Basics
Face It
We Caught Like Pawns In The Matrix
We Got A War Out Here
No Hiding In The Basement
We Got Our Brothers
Lying Dead On The Pavement
We Got Our Fathers And Our Uncles In The Pen
It's A Shame
Our Youngsters Still Looking Up To Them
These Streets Are Cold
They'll Eat You In A Minute
I'm Looking For A Sparkle
Now Best Believe I'm Finished
Don't Believe Everything That You Hear
These Fake Ass Rappers
Are The One With The Most Fear
They'll Steer You Wrong
With Their Chains And Their Rings
Money Ain't Everything
Stick To Your Family And Your Close Geez

[Hook: Mz. Vee]
It's Been A Hard Life
Still I Try
I Got To Free Whats On My Mind
I'll Find A Way All It Takes Is Time
It's What I Dream Of
It's What I Dream Of

[Verse 2]
I Learned Some People Like
Crabs In A Bucket
Trying To Bring You To The Bottom
Like Them They Love It
They Don't Care
What You Do Just To Progress
Close Dogs
Show You Love And Pay You Homage
Don't Mistake
The Real For The Fraudulent
Just Rise Above It All
And Stay On Top Of It
Mark Your Goals
Step Up To The Plate
Jump Over Hurdles That Are Built On Hate
I Chose My Path
Thank God For My Lessons
If There's No Obstacles
My Heart Would Never Strengthen
I'd Never Learn
The Shady Part Of Peoples Eyes
I'd Never Learn
To Rise Above N All Their Lies
With This Song
Read My Life Like A Book
Growing As A Crook
Had My Family All Shook
My Momma Crying
Pleading Me To Slow It Up
No More Tears Momma
Your Son Is Growing Up

[Hook: Mz. Vee]
It's Been A Hard Life
Still I Try
I Got To Free Whats On My Mind
I'll Find A Way All It Takes Is Time
It's What I Dream Of
It's What I Dream Of

[Verse 3]
I Play To Soar
And Ain't Nobody No My Obvious
Plan To Out Last A Brown Mans Accomplishments
Even Though This Industry
Has No Love For Me
I'll Be Like Michael
The First On MTV
I'll Break The Barriers
Mexicans Rise
I Been Coming From The Gutters Dog
Soaked From My Thighs
I'll Outshine
I'm Destined For Greatness
I Studied Hard
Now My Lyrics Are Tenacious
And Ain't No Fictitious Rhymes That I Spit
Real Life Out The Mind Of A Psycho That Lived
Hard From The Garden Of The Heartless
Working Hard
From The Bottom Of The Star List
I'm Working Hard For These Dreams That I'm Chasing
My Lady By My Side There For Embracing
In Case Things Go Sour
She's There For Her Flower
I'm Here For The Dream
Fuck The Money And The Power

[Hook: Mz. Vee]
It's Been A Hard Life
Still I Try
I Got To Free Whats On My Mind
I'll Find A Way All It Takes Is Time
It's What I Dream Of
It's What I Dream Of
