Big K.R.I.T. - Rapper With A Dream lyrics

[Verse 1] They got me wonderin if I ever get up out this cage A man is trapped, forever lost in this endless maze And then they wonder why they k** each other He out for mine I guess he ain't got sh** so I can't trust my brothers For some n***a they crime sh** OK it gotta pay Reality is it's sad to say, but there ain't no better way And if a n***a got a problem what I do for mine Tell 'em walk some miles in my shoe, then work a 9 to 5 That music sh** running low eventhough I give my all Authority ain't my best friend, at times I just wanna k** my boss And I'd be lyin n***a if I said I ain't do no dirt Try not to embarra** my folk because my family's first And I ain't never the type to back down from no challenge Then again I never took one more sh** than I could handle Some n***as was just born to win and some were born to lose I felt like I was dealt a bad hand, but I paid my dues [Hook] It seems that I'm condemned to live a life of sin Cuz I ball short When will my troubles end and happiness begin? Can you change my heart? I swear I had enough, but I never gave up Eventhough this world's so tough I'm holdin onto me, a rapper with a dream I hope you all feeling me [Verse 2] You said they say sometimes I lose hope And like I'm a basketball star no prone I met my dope Unlike them folks or them n***as when sh** pop off quickly I write my family no rain no snow they could come and get me I've been down for the 3OBC since I can remember ?coke and put in on the block until it was time for dinner ? I was ?eat up? hunger ? Tryin' not to get caught up on no sh** be gone till November Cuz in the Queen we don't play we known for the battle See me surfing up to sip the player I sleep it's in Seattle Eyes closed, I gotta stay up on my toe ? Cuz n***as get pills to turn off their lives and just roll through Blocka blocka thats all it takes to fall out It'll be the main trench no soldier ever crawl out For this game I try not to go all out Your peace hit me so what I always seem to cold out [Hook] [Verse 3] Third verse got me talking bout my situation If I be watching for the birds I need an occupation Give my cash up cuz I won't be this ? for long Can't stay with mama bird I gotsa get on my own Some n***as rely too much on gossip bout put mine in fame Who's lucky the one that's in the casket that n***a that's at away I have no need to front besides I'd rather stay to face I get the deal and collect my dough before I fade to black I see my brothers and I know, they would change, for the better We adapt to their climate, that thunderstorm weather And I know, I got hold my head up high to the sky But my pride sometimes gettin away of the realness inside I see the world upside down with no outs Like a corner without themes, or the world without south I'm gonna be dreamin' man cuz if I do decide to blow up The jealous will go and grab their K, see me outside and roll up Blocak blocka
