Lyrics

Cole World Hey, I got a 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 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 Knowing 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're 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 po' Mr. Dolla and a Dream in case you ain't know 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 Your paper, confetti, small time, y'all 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 that 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 where 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 You 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 you 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 get 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 praying for me, man I know that y'all worry But I ain't never failed and you can bet I never will Cole! Young nigga with his jeans low Nice guy just got a mean flow Never seen rich but he's seen po' Mr. Dolla and a Dream in case you ain't know 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 Hey 'Cause nigga that's life, and trust me I'm livin' Look what a nigga made out the shit that I was given Look what a nigga made out Look what a nigga made out Got a dollar and a dream Three
