[Verse 1]
Since a youngin' always dreamed of gettin' rich
Look at me my n***a
Fantasize about a white picket fence
With some trees my n***a
Used to want a Pathfinder with some tints
That's all I need my n***a
Throw some 20's on that b**h and get it rinsed
But now I see my n***a
That the world's a lot bigger ever since
Picked up the paper and they say my n***a Eddie caught a body, I'm convinced
Anybody is a k**er, all you gotta do is push 'em to the limps
f** being timid in the Civic
Politicin' with the pushers and the pimps
I'm tryna write a story, can I get a glimpse?
Yeah can I get a glimpse?
[Hook 1]
Last night I had a bad dream
That I was trapped in this city
Then I asked is that really such a bad thing?
They robbin' n***as on the daily
Can you blame a n***a that ain't never had things?
(What's the value of a thing?)
Guess not
Last night they pulled up on my n***a at the light like
Ugh, nice watch, run it
Hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it
Hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it
Hands in the air now, hands in the air
Hands in the air now, hands in the air
[Bridge]
Small town n***a Hollywood dreams
I know that everything that glitters ain't gold
I know the sh** ain't always good as it seems
But tell me till you get it how could you know?
How could you know? How could you know?
[Verse 2]
Listen up I'm about to go and get rich
f** with me my n***a
We gon' circle round the Ville and hit a lick
Cop some tree my n***a
And some powder, bag it up and make it flip
You gon' see my n***a
One day we gon' graduate and cop a brick
And that's the key my n***a
Listen up I'm 'bout to go and get rich
Stand back and watch if you want to n***a
Me I want my pockets fat, a badder b**h
Tired of seein' n***as flaunt, I wanna flaunt too n***a
Watch some rollers in a f**in' Crown Vic
Tryna lock a n***a up, that's what they won't do n***a
Wanna know a funny thing about this sh**?
Even if you let em' k** your dream it'll haunt you n***a, haunt you
[Hook 2]
Last night I had a bad dream
That I was trapped in this city
Then I asked is that really such a bad thing?
I look around like do you wanna be another n***a, that ain't never had things?
(What's the value of a thing?)
Guess not
Last night we pulled up on a n***a at the light like
(You know what the f** it is n***a, run that sh**!)
Uh, nice watch, run it
Hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it
Hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it
Hands in the air now, hands in the air
Hands in the air now, hands in the air
[Outro]
Father forgive me for my childish ways
I look outside and all the clouds are gray
I need your hands to take me miles away
Your wish is my command, my command, my command
But before you go I've got to warn you now
Whatever goes up surely must come down
And you'll get your piece, but know peace won't be found
So why just take me man, take me man, take me man
Your wish is my command, my command, my command
