UGK - Shattered Dreams lyrics

[Intro: Pimp C] UHH... Dedicated to all the underdogs, knahmtalkinbout? Muthaf**as told me I wasn't gon be sh**... Told me I was gon be able to do this rap sh**... Knahmtalkinbout? My own family talked down on me, knahmsayin? [Chorus:] You cain't let no b**h shatter yo' dreams... (My uncle told me I wasn't gon be sh**) It might not be all bad as it first seems... (I used to walk around with a bag full of rappers) You might not have all the things you need, yeah-heh... (Motherf**er told me, a n***a from Texas couldn't make no record) But all you got to do is believe... I got to get my money-hey, yeah-eah... (Then after I made the record, muh'f**ers said they would never give us no respect) I got to get my money-hey, yeah-eah... (But now they tryna rap like us) You got to get yo' money-hey, yeah-eah... (Tryna be like us, tryna smell like us) (Knahmtalkinbout?) I got to get my money-hey, yeah-eah... - you got to get yo' money... (Check this out) [Pimp C:] Man I refuse to let the b**hes take away my pride Them hoes can lock my body up, but they cain't lock my mind See I'm a young street flame, I got them fire eyes I mean that Eyes of Fire, the Tiger, the Black Pride I call some women b**hes and I call some women who*es A b**h a dirty boar, a hoe open up the p**y store Now what's the difference between the two? Man, I just told you that But that don't mean that every woman I know is down with that If you a b**h and wanna switch, it ain't too late to change It's all about how you carry yo'self and how you handle thangs Some say that hoes and pimps is born, I don't believe that sh** Cause anytime you wanna stop, it ain't too late to quit Just cause you sold your body don't mean you a hoe for life I got to speak it right for all the one that paid the price But if ya in it to win it, go head and live the life But baby, if you ain't in it, you still can do it right (right... right...) [Chorus:] You cain't let no b**h shatter yo' dreams... (hmm...) It might not be all bad as it first seems... (hmm...) You might not have all the things you need, yeah-heh... But all you got to do is believe... I got to get my money-hey, yeah-eah... I got to get my money-hey, oh-ho... You got to get yo' money-hey, yeah-eah... I got to get my money-hey, yeah-eah... - you got to get yo' money... [Pimp C:] To all the babies havin babies on ya' own I know you feelin f**ed up and feelin all alone I know ya people tellin you, "Ya f**ed up your life" Ya only f**ed up if you lay down and don't continue to fight - uh! And to the young n***a out there tryna sell dope I know ya family f**ed up and it's your last rope In your heart, I know ya cold with this rhyme sh** But ain't nuttin hap'nin but this twenty and this dime sh** And you the daddy with lil' mama that's bout to have the baby You wanna own ya team but n***az tellin you, "Ya crazy" "What you thankin? You too young to have a family" But all the moves ya makin, look like you a man to me! When you get caught up man them n***az ain't gon ride witchu But get down with that girl and she gon keep it live witchu But she gon help ya put your money up and save somethin Cause right now ya run it, th'ew it back and you ain't made nuttin It's time to change sumthin... [Chorus] [Pimp C:] If you a ballplayer, man go 'head and play ball Don't let nobody steal your dream if you ain't came to fall I know they say, "It ain't enough room in the NBA" You tell them haters, "Save that bullsh** for another day" If you a sanger, lil' mama go 'head and sang ya song Them hoes say, "You ain't gon make it", the funky b**h is wrong You ain't got to get bu*t-naked on stage in a thong Just sang your records to show the people you got it goin on I see a whole lotta motherf**ers come and go I know young n***as sold they soul for the dirty dough They want a rapper, I understand go 'head and chase ya dream But chase to hog it up, the lawyer end up like a fiend Some people gay, what can I say? The only judge is God But don't be shame and try to hide cause then you livin fraud Cause everythang done in the dark, gon' come to the light So do yo' thang, cause cain't no man tell you what's wrong or right Right, right, right, right... So do yo' thang, cause cain't no man tell you what's wrong or right ... (Uh!)
