Joe Budden - Dreams (Interlude) lyrics

In all actuality The work gets hard for a pa**ionate, work more than his salary And it paid off hopefully to make my monthly look annually So I tell this is a reality I dream my way through life Can't remember if I was awake or asleep I k**ed my doubters with kindness And force-feed em the taste of defeat They like this n***a been through somethin How he rap like he ain't 23 Cause in my mind I'm 9, Millie's, every round you gon brace for this heat My city bad but it's so small at the same damn time Where failure and success is treated like the same damn crime They gon hate you either way Either way give em something to talk about They must be talkin bout us cause n***a we the only thing that's worth talkin bout And they said we next and I said we now Sayin why and I'm sayin how Thinkin up a way to make a million Every time I lay down And my son and daughter, they gotta eat And that's even if my stomach hurt My girl throwin up every morning Low key, I think she gon pop the 3rd I was going through it with just 2 Now I'm thinking it's 3 for me But on every last one of em I swear to God we gon get this cheese Dreaming since a youngin, writin poetry to pa** the time Never give a sh** n***a So think twice for you ask for mine It's Gucci Louis Prada sh** We all bout to be takin flight I give a f** if you high right now I'm bout to put you on a different height I swear to mom they gonna get me mine Lampshade n***a, just let me shine Most go through life and cry n***a, I go through life and grind My heart and soul on every beat Cause that's what real n***as gonna do Some sh** might seem small to ya'll But somebody out there going through it Used to battle n***as at lunch And try to sneak my food in cla** I was writtin raps and they was pa**in notes And I still pa**ed on they stupid a** 18 with no worries, my my how fast my story changes Just for me, been where I was from Most motherf**ers could've swore we bang That G5 sh** was epic, but before all that I was such a loner Every n***a try to f** with us Every b**h wanted to f** on us I'm just speakin realistic And reality is so vicious But no, I'm not bragging about making your favorite girl a statistic n***a what you know about splittin poles? What you know about the eviction notes What you know about multiplayer on that Golden Eye on that 64? What you know about walkmens? CD players, stereos What you know about smart girls? I never really been in the centerfolds What you know about ridin high? Getting bunked and you had to go What you know about fingerprints? And waitin on your bail to post What you know about struggling? And sharing money just to get a meal What you know about hittin licks? It go bad and the sh** get real What you know about takin losses? Bouncing back in the same week sh** you might know bout all these but n***a what you know bout me? I sleep on top of the world yea Having fantasies, I' having threesomes with success and my favorite girl yea But we've been going through it since... And I'll be drinkin out this bottle like I never gave a f** She said she into whatever, I'm pouring in her cup Looking over the city, feeling like this is for us If we sleep don't let housekeeping wake us up Wake us up cause we've been dreaming For too long I swear we been dreaming For too long They could never alarm us They could never harm us We ain't gotta worry bout him, we'll leave it to karma But I swear we been dreaming Too long
