Dreamland lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, oh
Yeah, oh

[Chorus]
It was hard growing up like I did
Seeing everybody had this and I ain't never have sh*t
Like f*ck Christmas and a birthday, I ain't never have gifts
Living a broken life, like a n*gga acting in a Spike script
Hold on with the vice grip
This just how motherf*ckin' life is

[Verse 1]
n*gga, this is my life
Said that I would do it for a price
B and E's each and every single night just to get the pockets right
Split it up even amongst the guys
Hard as f*ck 'cause it made the money tight
Couldn't even catch a break from the state, caught a casе
I was only thirteen, had a mask on the face
I was five foot fivе, had a nine on the waist
I was smart as a b*tch and let my mind go to waste
I was always on my own
Making sure my moves were never known
Young as f*ck but I was moving grown
Heart made of stone
Always thought that I would be alone
Even with the love that I was shown
Nobody ever gave a real f*ck 'bout me, so why would I give a f*ck about ye?
I was skinny, I was hungry, I ain't have food to eat
Making trouble on the double dutch, that's how I released
[Chorus]
It was hard growing up like I did
Seeing everybody had this and I ain't never have sh*t
Like f*ck Christmas and a birthday, I ain't never have gifts
Living a broken life, like a n*gga acting in a Spike script
Hold on with the vice grip
This just how motherf*ckin' life is

[Verse 2]
I can't complain if I tried, a n*gga only glad that he alive
Dealing with the pain, gotta keep it bottled up inside
I'm a Black man, that's how we survive
Can't remember stable places, we was in and out of basements
Laying on some carpet 'cause it's better than the pavement
Living in a motel, mama couldn't make it
Daddy had another b*tch, guess he couldn't face it
Anything we ever gained, he would try to come and take it
If she ever spoke about it, he would lose his f*ckin' patience
Several different ways to beat her, can't believe he's so creative
Sad to say it to this day, I still really f*ckin' hate him, yeah

[Chorus]
It was hard growing up like I did
Seeing everybody had this and I ain't never have sh*t
Like f*ck Christmas and a birthday, I ain't never have gifts
Living a broken life, like a n*gga acting in a Spike script
Hold on with the vice grip
This just how motherf*ckin' life is
