Dream On Lyrics - Joe Budden

[Intro] 

Now tell her we gotta clean this whole spot out 

I don't care who she got coming I need five chairs 

Tell Elva give me a mint Hookah 

Give me a couple a peach Cirocs 

And tell Bernice give me 10,000 in singles 

Parks keep me up in the headphones 

Let me talk some shit to them real quick 

It go (it go) 

[Verse 1: Joe Budden] 

They tell me life's a bitch I'm just celebrating fuckin' it 

Table full of bottles now its looking like my bucket list 

Forward thinker I ain't one to regress 

Payin' no mind to these bitches they just come with success 

I spent Christmases gift less, way to many Decembers broke 

Never got a stamp but found a way to push the envelope (envelope) 

They told me I'd be dead I'd never make it out 

If I ain't accomplish shit else least I erased the doubt 

I'm so unassuming I can't figure why I'm hated now 

Even made depression seem like that wasn't a major bout 

My dreams big, niggas tried to take 'em down 

The jewel is in the perspective not the other way around 

See my persona is calmer, Obama blended with Dahmer 

Ever ponder your karma, manana could see a llama 

And if a nigga do, won't be complaints from me 

I'll be all good with it, I did all I could with it (let's go) 

[Hook] 

Chasing a dream doing what they say I couldn't have 

Spending money the government say I shouldn't have 

Uhh, and I'm taking my team with me 

Cause if none of its real my niggas gon' dream with me 

Dream on chic-a chic-a dream on 

If ever one of you fall I'm here for you to lean on 

Dream on chic-a chic-a dream on 

Steel sharpens steel until the whole teams strong 

[verse 2: Joe] 

This could've went totaly different 

See I could've been Heist and Heist could've been me 

We did the same B and E 

Same charges, same guns I popped off, he was away by then 

Had to do seven in an 8 x 10 

Came home to no belongings, everything to gain and nothing to lose 

I'm in the polar opposite shoes 

He wonder why we ain't as close as we was 

How can I say its been years, I'm not the Joe that I was 

He see the car, the crib, a few chicks, and think its come to fruition 

If he knew the tuition I paid would view it different 

Then we'd be in agreeance 

Cash won't be a grievance 

Down playing my achievements 

Afraid of how you'll receive them 

Our bond is forever, I ain't gotta hide that 

If I got, Then you got, you can tell your pride that 

I'll share it all, no complaints from me 

Sometimes we all need a hand 

Real niggas understand 

[Hook] 

[Verse 3: Joe] 

See the fame I never asked for it 

I'd have been cool in a Rav-4 delivering packages door to door 

Ain't ask for the scrutiny 

The acts of buffoonery 

From muh fuckers who ain't never been in a room with me 

Fuck my perception, all of it is deception 

Can't fuck just to fuck, got to use my discretion 

But, that dont take away from the blessing 

Nah, Id do it all over within a second 

Providing for the fam 

Beats riding in the lamb 

Riding for the fans 

Feel like catching lightening in a can 

Understand, was built for this, made for it 

Prayed for it, forget I even get paid for it 

Forced to learn the game on our own without the coaches 

Talent went unnoticed, This is hope for the hopeless 

They get it all no complaints from me 

Cause they gon love how it feel when the dream become real 

Joey
