Some n***as hate to see you dreaming
'Cause they don't want to see you feeling good
Some n***as hate when you believe in leaving
'Cause they don't want to see you leave the hood
Some n***as hate to make a way and open gates to leave
They'd rather place you in a cage and throw away the key
Some n***as hate to see you dreaming
Some n***as hate when you believe in leaving
[Verse 1]
I anticipate that these n***as hate when a n***a make it
It's pretty basic, 'cause n***as ain't really innovative
That indicates they'd wanna scrape from your dinner plate and
I understand that another hand can be titillating
And it's been debated
Whether or not to share your dreams while they're incubating
'Cause cynical thoughts will make it seem
As if your vision's crazy
They'll dig up your plot to take your seed
'Cause them n***as lazy, Keep em in the basement
Don't talk about it, Be about it n***a
All them non-believing heathens
You don't need them doubting n***as
'Cause when you're climbing you don't see the mountain
Make a lazy n***a hesitate to be around a n***a
Jim Rohn sh**-
You are the average of n***as you roll with
So If you have to bruh, get on your lone tip
Don't let it pa** you up, put em in motion
And stay focused, you may notice

Some n***as hate to see you dreaming
'Cause they don't want to see you feeling good
Some n***as hate when you believe in leaving
'Cause they don't want to see you leave the hood
Some n***as hate to make a way and open gates to leave
They'd rather place you in a cage and throw away the key
Some n***as hate to see you dreaming
Some n***as hate when you believe in leaving
[Verse 2]
Sometimes it's hard to see another n***a shining
Especially when you're grinding, it's definitely undermining
To your mind when you're reminded
That you're farther from the object
Than another motherf**er who don't want it how you want it
But stop it, let's rea**ess the topic
Of looking in another n***as pockets, it's obvious
That it could never measure the level of your progress
So why get envious of anyone's accomplishments?
Acknowledge it's more than enough to go around
Trust that this abundance is incumbent
When your goals are found
'Cause when you focus on the struggle you get more in doubt
It makes you hopeless
Then you wonder why you're slowing down
Don't allow that hating sh** to be on the prowl
Shut it out and throw a flag or call a foul
All the while, be grateful for what you've got around
Haven't made it your destination but you're on the route

'Cause they don't want to see you leave the hood
Some n***as hate to make a way and open gates to leave
They'd rather place you in a cage and throw away the key
Some n***as hate to see you dreaming

[Verse 3]
How're you doing my n***a, what you pursuing my n***a?
Is there anything I can do to help you get it quicker?
'Cause I figure if you make it out we all make it
Even if a n***a miss you like a car payment
You know that I wanna see
That you accomplished your dreams
'Cause I'll share the love affair and live vicariously
Through everything that you do and all the places you go
So whenever you call
I'ma make sure you know
That we miss you here and we're proud of you
And we always knew you would make it
Even though we know we can't go
Everywhere you go, we're adjacent
We gon' always be there by your side
Through the ups and the downs in your life
Through the bumps in the road, we just want you to know
We were always along for the ride, come home anytime
[Alternate Hook x2]
I just want to see you dreaming
'Cause I just want to see you feeling good
And I just want you to believe in leaving
'Cause I would love to see you leave the hood
And I'll create a better way and open gates to leave
And I'ma stay to pave the way for you to chase your dreams
You know I love to see you dreaming
'Cause I just want you to believe in leaving
