Since a youngin' always dreamed of gettin' richLook at me my niggaFantasize about a white picket fenceWith some trees my niggaUsed to want a pathfinder with some tintsThat's all I need my niggaThrow some 20's on that bitch and get it rinsedBut now I see my niggaThat the worlds a lot bigger ever sincePicked up the paper and they say my nigga Eddie caught a body, I'm convincedAnybody is a killer, all you gotta do is push 'em to the limitsFuck being timid in the Civic politicin' with the pushers and the pimpsI'm tryna write a story, can I get a glimpse? Yeah can I get a glimpse?Last night I had a bad dreamThat I was trapped in this cityThen I asked is that really such a bad thing?They robbin' niggas on the dailyCan you blame a nigga that ain't never had things?(What's the value of a thing?)Guess not, last night they pulled up on my nigga at the light likeUh, nice watch, run itHands in the air now, hands in the air, run itHands in the air now, hands in the air, run itHands in the air now, hands in the airHands in the air now, hands in the airSmall town nigga Hollywood dreamsI know that everything that glitters ain't goldI know the shit ain't always good as it seemsBut tell me till you get it how could you know?How could you know? How could you know?Listen up I'm about to go and get richFuck with me my niggaWe gon' circle round the Ville and hit a lickCop some tree my niggaAnd some powder, bag it up and make it flipYou gon' see my niggaOne day we gon' graduate and cop a brickAnd thats the key my niggaListen up I'm bout to go and get richStand back and watch if you want to niggaMe I want my pockets fat, a badder bitchTired of seein' niggas flaunt, I wanna flaunt too niggaWatch some rollers in the fuckin' Crown VicTryna lock a nigga up, thats what they won't do niggaWanna know a funny thing about this shit?Even if you let em' kill your dream it'll haunt you niggaLast night I had a bad dreamThat I was trapped in this cityThen I asked is that really such a bad thing?I look around like do you wanna be another nigga, that ain't never had things?(What's the value of a thing?)Guess not, last night we pulled up on a nigga at the light likeUh, nice watch, run itHands in the air now, hands in the air, run itHands in the air now, hands in the air, run itHands in the air now, hands in the airHands in the air now, hands in the airFather forgive me for my childish waysI look outside and all the clouds are grayI need your hands to take me miles awayYour wish is my command, my command, my commandBut before you go I've got to warn you nowWhatever goes up surely must come downAnd you'll get your piece, but no peace won't be foundSo why just take me man, take me man, take me manYour wish is my command, my command, my command
