Big Dreams Lyrics - Meek Mill

1 You ever watch a dream manifest?

2 It's nothing like it

3 Dc 2

4 If you ain't got a dream, you ain't got nothing

5 A lot of niggas changed on me when I got money

6 Said it came with the game, and this what I wanted

7 So I'ma hustle like the first time I got fronted

8 For the love of the green and the love of the team

9 Put together a circle that couldn't come in between

10 Went from lint in my pockets to using money machines

11 I got my city back popping and they don't want me to leave

12 No they don't want me to leave

13 But I gotta go and get it though

14 Time is money and I'm on a mission though

15 Papa gotta eat, niggas shooting right around my mama way

16 Cops run in my sister crib, I swear I gotta find a way

17 Tryna touch a million dollars and I'm like a dime away

18 Never ask a nigga for a handout, I would grind away

19 Write my little raps, smoke my little weed

20 Sold a little crack just to fund my little needs

21 I was sixteen getting on my little knees

22 Asking the lord please help me get a little cheese

23 It was hard out, [same time it was hot out?]

24 In the jungle where niggas will rip your heart out

25 Cold summers where niggas'll probably starve out

26 Wanna be a kingpin from watching niggas ball out

27 Couldn't blame us, they was tryna chain us

28 But we was tryna fix the roof leak when it was raining

29 We was tryna keep the house warm when winter came in

30 But they rather detain us, locked us in cells, restrained us

31 The razors, animals go in cages

32 That's what the slave masters told the workers when they slaved us

33 [Chorus: x2]

34 Small city, big dreams

35 I been waiting on this day since I was sixteen

36 Since I was sixteen

37 I been waiting on this day since I was sixteen

38 Rock man told us "Sun don't shine"

39 You know if his daddy hustling then his son gon' grind

40 His father was locked up, now his son doing time

41 When certain niggas get to starving, know that gun gon' shine

42 Two felonies on is record, he got one more time

43 Get a ad, picture that, he don't want no job

44 Lost hope, some niggas don't even want no God

45 They just want a little money just to come through fly

46 'Cause nobody never listens to the broke nigga

47 'Cause when you broke, you considered as a joke nigga

48 If you a joke, you considered as a ho nigga

49 And no nigga wanna live life living poor nigga

50 Small city, big dreams

51 I been waiting for this day since I was sixteen

52 Selling white girl, I'm talking Christine

53 Young boy with dreams of touching that big screen

54 [Chorus: x2]
