Dollar And A Dream Iii Lyrics - Cole World: The Sideline Story - J. Cole

Yeah, hey, Cole world 

Hey, I gotta dollar and a dream, that's all a nigga got 

So if it's bout that cream, then I'm all up in the spot 

I got a dollar and a dream, just a dollar and a dream 

[Verse 1: J. Cole] 

Cole, walk with a nigga, I give you my pain 

So much on my mind, I wonder how it fit in my brain 

Scattered thoughts, dark secrets lead me to a blacker heart 

Life can't get any worse, Stevie with his glasses off 

Cause I still don't see hope, lookin' for a quick fix 

When everyone I see is broke, get lost in weed smoke 

Knowin' it make it worse, thoughts roam uncontrollably 

Barely trustin' niggas, over a decade they been knowin' me 

Shit, life at the bottom, nobody but God got em' 

They say he wouldn't leave me, yet I'm fallin' like it's Autumn 

Tell me, what do you do just when you're on your last dollar 

And the stress of this mess you in can make your ass holla? 

Do you fold, grow bitter and grow cold? 

No longer fightin' now the only thing you grow is old 

Or do you flip that fuckin' dollar to a dream? 

Whether a scholar or a fiend, watch a pawn become a king 

Cole!

Young nigga with his jeans low 

Nice guy, just got a mean flow 

Never seen rich but he's seen poor 

Mr. dollar and a dream in case yeeain't know 

Hey, I gotta dollar and a dream, that's all a nigga got 

So if it's bout that cream, then I'm all up in the spot 

I got a dollar and a dream, just a dollar and a dream 

Yeah, armed and ready, you niggas strung out, you spaghetti 

Ya paper, confetti, small time, ya'll on one, I'm on mine 

You logged off cause I'm online, small talk from small minds 

I wanna buy the mall but there ain't shit in this small town 

This where I get my dough 

My niggas make sure the money right and then I rip the show 

I run the town they tried to call me underground 

I spun around like, you wish 

Homie my backpack Louis, now watch just how I do this 

I got the nerds rappin' hard shit, dummies rappin' smart shit 

Mozart meets Humphrey Bogart with this from the heart shit 

Play your part, life is but a dream for me 

I get a flash of nightmares when niggas scheme on me 

It's hard to see my enemies, who infiltrated my team 

I take a step back and notice that things ain't what they seem 

That's when a nigga refocus, yeah I turn on them high beams 

I got that red dot waitin', I'm wastin' your whole regime 

I wish a nigga would, boy you can't out-smart me 

I let you feel like you the shit, but boy you can't out-fart me 

Ya never have it, I know you want what I got 

But nigga you ain't me, but you are what I'm not 

And that's a phony ass, lonely ass, Cole is what you know me as 

But we far from homies, if you know my mama, you know me 

If ya don't then well I'm sorry, you should get to know Kay 

Man she been workin' too hard, I should send her a bouquet 

My goal this year is a real one, gonna stack a million 

And as soon as I do, Mama that 9 to 5 is through 

And I know I ain't been callin', but I'm thinkin' bout you 

And all the shit that you been through 

My girl and then my brother too 

Cause this life gets hard on this road, yeah it's true 

I don't never tell you how much I be stressin', but I do 

But I suck it up for who? my fans, and my mans 

Who probably never ever had this type of lifestyle in they plans 

Hoppin' in and out of vans, on the buses, on the planes 

Gettin' brain from a bitch and thinkin' "god damn, what's her name?" 

Sometimes I just shake my head and tell myself this is a shame 

And then my other side kick in like, "bitch, don't be so fuckin' lame" 

Dang, what a life, another day, another night 

At times this shit is all blurry, pray and hope that God heard me 

Just for those prayin' for me, man I know that y'all worry 

But I ain't never failed and you can bet I never will 

Cole!

Got a dollar and a dream, three
