Big Deal - One Dream lyrics
Intro (Martin Luther King): So even though we face the difficulties Of today and tomorrow I still have a dream… Verse 1: We got the whole music scene sleeping on us/ Moms weeping on us, cus we skip cla**, spit raps Deaf ears to the teacher speaking nonsense/ Dads feel we'll end been nothing, so I'm just been honest/ I don't wanna be your neighbors son/ I know u tryna save your son but what u tryna save him from? His dreams, his idols, I know u hate his favorite song/ But how u gonna suppress the art form he was raised upon/ So u place upon him bonds, make him do what you want & afraid at home/ Till he sneaks out, gets in the wrong company Plays a song, talk & chill, blaze a bong/ Now his grades is gone bonkers/ & everybody looking at you like u raised him wrong/ Maybe, u recall when he was just a baby/ Never thought generation gap be this crazy/ But I got a dream.. Chorus: [I know you tryna live your dreams Yeah, I can feel your pain I know it gets hard but please don't give up]*2 Verse 2: Dad, I'm just working on my sk** and/ I ain't k**ing, I ain't into drug dealing/ So, why do you always see me as a villain/ And treat so different from the other children/ See I just love to play/ Football and there ain't no other way/ To put it, it's the truth like you wanted to be a doctor but you couldn't/ At least I wanna be something that I'm good at/ So, respect that or hear my neck crack/ From the burden of your dreams, might twist my head back/ And be dead that's all I don't know if it matters/ Footballers are the same for you as rappers, right? Ironic, I got a friend who raps/ And he just like me has been through crap/ You know the usual, cus his dreams musical But it'll be “kicks” and “snares” and then you'll “clap”/ Cus we win… Chorus: [I know you tryna live your dreams Yeah, I can feel your pain I know it gets hard but please don't give up]*2 Verse 3: Mom, I've been a poser all my life/ I love the cameras and the photos and the lights/ Some boys like I'm P.chopra look alike/ Ha, silly right? But I know that this is right/ I mean, I wanna be a model/ And that don't mean I'll be in the club with beer bottles/ nope Trust me I won't sleep around/ You should check the news, things are strict and different now/ I'll be in different town but I'll make you proud/ Take you out to Oberoi's, oh I'm so overjoyed/ At the prospect of a perfect career choice/ Mom, do you even hear my voice? Don't block me out I know I failed three times/ But don't look at me every time and hit rewind/ I thought we agreed to leave it behind/ Can you please consider my dreams in the meantime? One Dream.. Chorus: [I know you tryna live your dreams Yeah, I can feel your pain I know it gets hard but please don't give up]*2 Bridge: [Live your dreams, heal your pain Don't give up]*2 Outro (J.cole): You know it's never too late to accomplish what you set out to accomplish To follow your dreams
