[Intro: Rick Ross (Anthony Hamilton)]
(Yeah, oh)
(Down here in the ghetto)
I can't see 'em running down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
(This is where dreams are made)
I can't see 'em running down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
[Verse 1: Rick Ross]
I just came to get the millions
I just came for the millions
Young Hov, I see you n***a
I got the Blueprint in my back pocket n***a
I did what you told me n***a
Look at me n***a, I got so much f**ing money
Too many b**hes, the homies could f** 'em for me
Winning in real estate, opening restaurants
And I really don't give a f** who rolling the next blunt
Check, real n***a born, Carol city raised
See you n***as scorn, I wasn't phased
It was a phase, look at my face
I wanna race, I set a pace
As a fat boy, I had to catch my wind
Get my laps on, double back when rappers spit
Them n***as know what's up, they throwing peace signs
f** that, I'm holding up an East sign
Get in my way of my money, you know what happens
n***as finding you funny and then they clapping
Round of applause, you looking at an icon
Snatch a bottle off ice, now pour when I'm gone
[Hook: Anthony Hamilton]
One day I'm gonna be
(One day I'm gonna be)
Getting up out of these slums
Then they gonna see
(One day they gonna see me)
All that I can become
All eyes on me
(All eyes are watching)
Just a young buck tryna come up
I can be a nice one, I can be a rude one
I can be an icon
Living the life of a dreamer
Living out the life of a dreamer
Yeah
[Verse 2: Rick Ross]
I'm very persuasive
I know a few masons
Crack dealers need me as their motivation
Started at the bottom, blind leading the blind
I did it by myself so it took me some time
No Dr. Dres, no Eminems, no Neptunes, no Timbalands
Just doing him, and I'd do it again
Self made real n***as feeling him
God forgives and I don't is what the streets said
You and I know it's on till the beef dead
Rest in peace hater, as I get a ma**age
No longer a Don, a f**ing icon
[Hook: Anthony Hamilton & Rick Ross]
One day I'm gonna be
(One day I'm gonna be)
A f**ing Icon
Getting up out of these slums
A motherf**ing Icon
Then they gonna see
(One day they gonna see me)
All that I can become
All eyes on me
(All eyes are watching)
Just a young buck tryna come up
I can be a nice one, I can be a rude one
I can be an icon
Living the life of a dreamer
Living out the life of a dreamer
Yeah
[Outro: Anthony Hamilton]
Damn you really go
Oh, this is where our dreams are made
Oh, searching for a hero
Oh, this is where success is made
Oh, down in the ghetto
Oh, this is where success is made
Oh, searching for a hero
This is where the icon
The icon, the hero, lays
