sweet dreamer Lyrics

Damn

Okay, Okay

(Okay) Yuh

My momma always told me that I'd make it one day, and I know she ain't lying

I had to come up from nothing and see my family crying

I had to witness all the psycho shit, and drunken violence

I had to carry on through school when my homie was dying

That shit caught me by surprise

I had to learn to hide my pain, but that's a waste of time

and I can't say it to your face, so let me say it now

and I can't stand it with this mothafuckas, who think I'm just saying shit to make it rhyme

Dreams are very often meant to be

If you believe, your life can be so very free

We have our cares

Sometimes our future seems unclear

There is a place

We all can go, it's very near

My last good memory that I had was with Jalen, and then he went away

Back in 3rd grade, thinking my life was gonna stay the same

He showed me that I can learn to play, and cope with all this pain

Ever since that day, man, I ain't been the same

Shit..

I was robbed of my childhood, now I'm more mature than y'all

I was thinking is it life or death? is this the only chance I get?

I used to wonder in my bed, when y'all were playing ball

and I be hearing shots outside, but they ain't 3's

Man these 9's will come and then get you Paralyzed

and you could call me weak, but this isn't no fucking happy life

I used to dream of a happy life

I'm used to it now, I can't do nothing but fantasize my, dreams

Dreams are very often meant to be

If you believe, your life can be so very free

We have our cares

Sometimes our future seems unclear

There is a place

We all can go, it's very near
