Big Dreams Lyrics - Wanted - Bow Wow

It's not, it's not me exactly, who touches people 

It's what I represent, the possibility that dreams from long ago 

May still come true even if they, even if, even if 

Even if they look lost forever 

I had a homie named, Tony, 16, 6"2' 

Headed to the NBA straight from high school 

My nigga had his ball game on lock 

But at the same time he was in love with the block 

All the stuff that came wit it the drugs and the guns 

The gangs, the slangs and all the funds 

He just got a letter of contempt from the Cavaliers 

Sayin' how they love him and they wish he was there 

He had it made like, Special Ed about to get the bread 

But chose to do somethin' dumb instead 

Go to war wit the crew on the other side of town 

And was more ready then Tony got laid down

He ain't even have a chance, died 'fore the ambulance 

Even got to him so many went through him 

I hate to tell the story but that's how it is 

Growin' up in the hood as a kid 

When you got big dreams don't listen to what nobody say 

And don't let nobody turn you away 

When you got big dreams keep your eyes on the prize 

Don't fall to the wayside 

When you got big dreams don't listen to what nobody say 

And don't let nobody turn you away 

When you got big dreams keep your eyes on the prize 

Don't fall to the wayside, reach for the sky 

I knew a girl named Gina that was a hell of a singer 

And e'body fell in love wit her when they seen her 

Babygirl was on the verge of signin' a big deal 

Eighteen and life looked so surreal 

Photos 

She was stuck wit a dude that was all bad news 

And all he ever did was give baby the blues 

But she was true to a nigga do for a nigga 

Pop, you and ya whole crew for a nigga 

One night, he came, picked her up 

Told her let's ride that's the same night 

Daddy watched her die they was tryna hit a lick 

But the lick hit back put a end to the deal 

And all of that 

She ain't even have to be there 

He knew it wasn't right, now he gotta deal wit it 

For the rest of his life and the part I don't like 

He ain't even get grazed but the homegirl Gina 

Is layin' in the grave 

When you got big dreams don't listen to what nobody say 

And don't let nobody turn you away 

When you got big dreams keep your eyes on the prize 

Don't fall to the wayside 

When you got big dreams don't listen to what nobody say 

And don't let nobody turn you away 

When you got big dreams keep your eyes on the prize 

Don't fall to the wayside, reach for the sky 

I got a few relatives, given family drama 

Always got they hands out 

When they see me and my momma 

One could have been a doctor the other a chef 

But when he got his own kitchen 

He was cookin' somethin' else 

Now, his life in the drain, a triflin' shame 

He all washed up, wife took e'thing 

No car, no mo', no house and everywhere he go 

He stole, so they throwed him out 

I was growin' up lookin' up to be like them 

Now, I'm throwin' up cash, rollin' up in the bed 

I was stuck wit a dream I had since a shorty 

I be damned if I let another man support me 

Now, Uncle Junebuck's sick, skinny as hell 

He got aids in his body from the needles he shared 

E'time he get his welfare checks 

He don't care, if you wanna see him go to the crack house 

He there 

When you got big dreams don't listen to what nobody say 

And don't let nobody turn you away 

When you got big dreams keep your eyes on the prize 

Don't fall to the wayside 

When you got big dreams don't listen to what nobody say 

And don't let nobody turn you away 

When you got big dreams keep your eyes on the prize 

Don't fall to the wayside, reach for the sky 

When you got big dreams, when you got big dreams 

When you got big dreams, when you got big dreams 

Keep your eyes on the prize don't fall to the wayside 

Reach for the sky
