[Produced by Big K.R.I.T.] [Intro] Old school flow Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo They used to say They used to say This rap sh** [Hook] They used to say (He's dreamin) They used to say (He's dreamin) This rap sh** (is not for real) This rap sh** (is not for real) They used to say (He's dreamin) They used to say (He's dreamin) This rap sh** (is not for real) This rap sh** (is not for real) [Verse 1] Yeah I remember it so clearly Rappin' to my pop about the cars and the clothes Shrimp and the lobster that I heard about Like word of mouth The UGK tape and Scarface will turn ya out I was like 13 thirsting for a good beat Scoping for a studio talkin' bout I spit heat Like Ball & G, on that pimp type sh** Three 6 had me crunk on that late night tip [Hook] [Verse 2] I played ball for a minute, did I mention wasn't in it Writing rhymes on my glove so I will never forget em Had to quit it, didn't feel it back in high school Rather write poems, known for flowing, thats what I do Couldn't be little Zac forever, peace to my big brother Follow ya dreams baby, thats word to my grandmother When I hear the streets tappin', my beats kickin' my flow I overhear the same sh** they always say before (he's dreaming) [Hook] [Verse 3] I told them call me KRIT, they told me change my name Don't be alarmed if you don't make it, thats just part of the game Besides I ain't rapping about dope nor did I sell it I guess the story of a country boy just ain't compelling A&R's searching for a hit, I just need a meal Couldn't afford to pay the rent, but pa**ed up on the deal Cause, it wasn't right sometimes you gotta wade the storm In a cla** of my own, but I was scared to raise my arm Like, this my dream, this my life, I sacrificed it all Except my soul in the firm belief there is a God Watching out, when all the others used to doubt Felt my pain and pointed down and said “Son, your time is now” I think my grandma pulled some strings on the low Thats between her and the lord I'll never know For those that caught me in the Spin, in Complex magazine, XXL, the Vibe and whatever inbetween It's safe to say that dreams come true I guess Don't let nobody tell ya, try for yourself Just know that I was once considered just a dreamer But I paid my dues and turned so many doubters to believers They used to say They used to say They used to say They used to say [Hook] [Outro] I don't care if it is a dream I've got to believe in something I love What can I do, what have I got to lose You know sometimes dreams do come true Might as well be a dream, dream, dream
