[Verse:]
I said this life ain't gettin' easier, homie I can't fib
My thoughts they go from darker to lighter like Ant Viv
I got no option but to face it, I been caught in my dreams
Forgettin' reality I feel like Neo in the Matrix
I'm a dream chaser, chasin' the green paper
These rappers buyin' views to make themselves seem greater
Ayo some people label me the coolest kid that's spittin' fire
It's been a good year but I'm tryin not to get tired
I'm writin' music as I listen to these rain drops
It's hard tryna strive when everybody want the same spot
They switchin' trends more often than you would change socks
Music is for everybody, but the rap game's not
Truth be told I hate when they call me a rapper
Take you out the equation, you ain't even a factor
I always had the flow like a commercial from Progressive
Hoping all you s**as get the message
[Hook:]
Hey JD I think we need to turn the ba** down
I started stuntin' on em, what they gotta say now?
Me and my homies, yeah my crew we in the place now
Aye we don't trip, we keep it movin' let em hate now
Startin from the bottom with a dollar and dream
Just youngins with some talent tryna get up on the scene
Aye let us in we tryna get up on the scene
Just a dollar and a dream
[Verse:]
Lately it's been more grind and less hanging out
Life been throwin' blows but it ain't nothing I complain about
Though I pray to God that I could see more sunny days, I be
Constantly tryna put my hood on like it's rainin' out
Back and better than ever, I'm tryna keep it together
The devil keep tryna grab up on me he don't ever let up
I gotta keep my head up so I'm screamin "keep the faith"
I know I'm doing what I'm 'sposed to if them other people hate
I dropped a tape and got a buzz up in the same year
Had em waitin' for a minute now I'm 'bout to change gears
The field is where I stay I know they'll remember my name there
They talkin' bout the top but cannot hang there, but I remain here
That's cause I know I got a lot to prove
Like spittin' knowledge in your music could be poppin' too
Aye man I'm angry at the world homie it's not at you
I gotta achieve the impossible, I got a lot to do
[Hook:]
[Bridge:]
Yeah, dollar and a dream
Everything ain't what it seems
Yeah
A dollar a dream
A dollar and a dream
A dollar and a dream yeah
[Verse:]
Crabs in a bucket ain't a theory man it's something real
Been chasin' dreams for years but I ain't quit I'm runnin' still
I know the haters on their job, their mouths be runnin' still
But they don't really want the jazz, they're like Uncle Phil
And if they ask you where I'm from tell em I'm from the field
And look I come to k**, any man who stands in the way of me
Getting what I deserve because my hunger's real
I'm gettin' mine I ain't concerned with how these s**ers feel
