Big Dreams - Fashawn

Now I was

Sitting on a mountain of dilemmas

Guzzling 40 ounces to the liver

Thinking about my life my life

How I was living in strife

We would be out all night

In front of my building

In the gutter the impoverished civilians

It was life or death

I was just trying to make a killing

Jobs wasn’t hiring

Mama lost her mind again

Daughter needed diapers

And daddy needed a Vicodin

Baby girl getting older

And it won’t be long

Til she got the weight of the world on her shoulders

Try to be calm

This chronic prevent me from doing niggas bodily harm

Gotta remind me I’m Shawn

Cuz sometimes I be lost

Fantasizing about cars

Go to sleep with a picture of a Maserati on my wall

From them projects and buildings

To a yacht and some slippers

Had them Christopher Wallace intentions

I had to get it

Big dreams, big dreams the whole city was mine

Big dreams, big dreams, Benz, beepers and 9's

Big dreams, big dreams, the only limit’s the sky

Got me feeling like the world is mine

Now close your eyes

Now everybody has a dream

But not every man has a plan

For some it becomes a reality

Slight chance but hey

You, you take it for what it’s worth

Even if it just so happens your face end up in the dirt

Where I’m from the definition of work

Is a zipper some purp, or a key of that girl

I swear the city’s bizerk

Wanted to travel the world

Leave a dent on this earth

I guess a nigga in search

Always trying to find an exit

Was tired of living reckless

In my mind envisioned myself driving in a Lexus

Uh, you’ll know ya nig got it made

When the cops never raid and the crib got a maid

Why life as a shorty gotta be fucked up?

I just want what’s mine I ain’t asking for much

I mean, I had dreams and rapping was one

It was either that or ski mask and a gun

But you don’t hear me tho

Know what I’m saying

Close your eyes man

Picture that man

Close your eyes and envision this

You know what I’m saying

It’s the life

It’s a Cole world

Big cars, expensive linen

You know what it is

Grizzly City to the Ville nigga

Real niggas connect

Know what I’m saying respect

Fayettnam all the way to Grizzly City nigga

Big Dreams

It’s the F
