Just A Dream

Youngbloodz · Against Da Grain [1999]

It ain't a thang in this world thats gonna knock me off my feet

As I unleash total chaos into the streets

For I observe these dirty words whispering' through your mouth

So I now I take it you the big dog about the south



Oh, really now, though whose to say that we won't never make it

Or even get the chance to tell the world just how we made it

'Cause know that we gonna keep it crunk, no matter what

Now who the fuck, just all nut, it's a must for you to get crushed



So don't rush to get dat change

You'd besta wake on up and take a look inside this frame

For everything ain't everything when times are gettin' rough

To pressure is your conscience in this game you callin' bluff

Now nigga what, yeah



Oh, a lot of hatin' went on doing this thang here

Folks just swore we wasn't finna' put it down for the A-town

You know what I'm saying? I ain't gotta call no names

'Cause you know who you are



You know what I'm sayin'

All I got to say to all of y'all is

You can't keep nobody from the Attic down

Know what I'm sayin', and that's on the floor



Yea, it's me, remember me from back in the day

The same ol' nigga you thought wouldn't get paid

Look at me now nigga, shit done changed

Ain't no mo' gettin' wet in the rain



Hennessey and dank to kill all my pain

Sho' 'nuff you can hear, but you can't feel me man

And it's a damn shame, we go through what we do

Playa hatin' while I'm chillin' on the avenue



Can't hold no nigga down from the Attic Crew

That's for trill on the blow, straight from me to you

Better listen up now, 'cause ain't no tellin' what's next

The dem between real and the ones that flex



All in your face grinnin' when you cash that check

But when they get down and dirty it's like, "Fuck dat' bitch"

Ass nigga, so how you figga' I was wrong

Got a baby, and a crib to keep clothes on



Long time ago, way before the grind

Trouble had become a friend of mine

You off up in my head, its just a matter of time

Before I rip shit apart and let Sean Paul shine



Like dem' folks open face off in yo' grill

I ain't tryin' to be greedy, I'm just tryin' to live

Now that the picture clear, and you know what I mean

Being broke all again slick it's just a dream
