Dreamchasers Lyrics - Meek Mill

1 I'm a chase my dream

2 Coming to America like Prince Akeem

3 I ain't never give a fuck then I seen

4 High definition to get what's forever given

5 But nothing was never given

6 I build it from ground up

7 I started out form my basement and builded my house up

8 I'm rich off opportunity, money gon' pile up

9 My swag on a hundred mill, how the stylist gon' style us

10 Caught up in the light, caught up in the life

11 I see youngin on the corner with a quarter of that white

12 He just tryna chase his dream plus his daughter needs some wipes

13 And some pampers so he don't give a fuck about the slammer

14 He just tryna stay alive, clutching on his hammer

15 World full of problems, ain't nobody gotta answer

16 Mommy in the grave, daddy gettin' high

17 Bills steady rollin' in, he barely gettin' by

18 Same clothes everyday, he barely gettin' fly

19 Erryday he wake, he just swear to do his job

20 What that is? Chasin' dreams, time is tickin' so it seems

21 On his downtime he's spittin' and he's sick, his flow is mean

22 He just want his real chance, no reality show

23 But the graveyard the jail cell, reality though

24 Crack house was his crib, the streets fathered him though

25 And he ain't got no twitter page but you can follow him tho

26 Woah

27 [Chorus]

28 Dream chaser, keep chasin'

29 Grind will turn into your shine, be patient

30 Yeah, a hundred miles and runnin'

31 Tryna catch up to my dreams so you know I'm Forrest Gumpin'

32 I'm a dream chaser, dream chaser, dream chaser

33 Dream chaser, dream chaser, dream chaser

34 Dream chaser, dream chaser

35 I was raised by my momma

36 Pop used to beat her

37 Got a sister my age, my pop was a cheater

38 Gram's kept something in the pot for us to eat up

39 Had to open up the oven for the house to heat up

40 Christmas missed us, no birthday's or Easter's

41 Used to snatch bags from Halloween trick or treaters

42 Hot dogs and beans, fish sticks on the weekend

43 Shared the same bed that my cousin used to pee in

44 Dreamed to be the Huxtable's, settled for the Brady's

45 Black and white on top of floor model with' no cable

46 My sister used to punch me, beat me, slap me

47 Caught my first case stealin' cookies outta ackney

48 Raised in South Phil, 2-4 where you can find me at

49 Used to kick the machines for quarters out the laundromat

50 Dirty little teen, going to school embarrassin'

51 Gas cut off, my clothes smelling like kerosene

52 [Chrous]

53 It all started in the basement, me, my pen and my pad

54 Started thinkin' bout things I never had

55 Was broke as a joke, ain't never laugh

56 I woke up and went and got it, now they forever mad

57 How can you hate me where I came from

58 When just a year ago I was the same one

59 Them dudes you call your homies be the main one

60 You'd be surprised what niggas do as soon as the fame come

61 But I ain't worried, discouraged, I just observe it

62 When my dreams started to crumble, niggas deserted

63 Empty courtroom when my judge read my verdict

64 But now I'm gettin' to it, niggas act like they deserve it

65 Sittin' in my cell, watching my dream

66 Fade like Mike, fourth quarter, tie game

67 Shackles on my ankles and wrist my first chains

68 And now it's hard work on the menu, I thirst cream

69 [Chorus]
