Willie B - 1TimeIMetAnOG (Poe Man's Dreams Freestyle) lyrics

[Verse 1] What if i told you everything you see you're awake is a mirage? The reality is in our dreams and you really live in that 4 car garage You really married to your dream spouse You really own a big house This is to all my kids in the struggle everyday This is to all the hard working immigrants, working 12 hours just to get minimum wage This is for all the people living on the other side of florence, rosecrans, alameda, gage, avalon and imperial Who drinkin water for breakfast because they have no milk for their cereal Some of you think life's a b**h when in reality she's a beautiful woman, call her mother nature Even though you livin in sunny c-a. it seems like all you see is rain That sh** can all change, it all starts with you I used to be get in trouble and hate my dad, too Ask anybody that knows him, they'll tell you a story or two Til i realized, he's my only dad, i'll only have Even though we rocky, hate will eat you alive like poison You gotta leave the past behind if you ever get further to join em Finish school, make ends and you gotta realize nobody is really your friend All you need is yourself, your health and your wealth You can get yourself out the hood But nobody can take the hood outta ya, it's understood Once met an og on the 260, here's what he told me People talk sh** about the hood, and that's alright, they don't understand the struggle Cuz all the kids i've met from the hood are the most humble Thankful for everything, even if it's not much And your opinion has no effect on them, they can give one [Verse 2] I met a homeless man amidst the traffic imperial and atlantic I was just tryna to live, get to school in no panic He told me he was clean for a while of the h and the dope Til he lost his wife on his wedding day, his love was gone, no hope I swear to god, i think i seen some tears down his cheek The 260 came, i paid for his fare and his departed on atlantic and whittier That's when i realized, even though i had hardships, it could be much sh**tier Not a dime to soul, but his smile glowed and he filled with so much gold Headphones blaring poe man's dreams blurring out the screams on the bus from these drunk a** teens One just lost his dad Throwing their lives away, i used to be like that too and i giggled Til this guy threw up, pa**ed out and shiveled Following his dad's footsteps literally and figuratively Just because it's legal, alcohol is one hell of a drug If you don't believe me, ask the kids who lost parents because drivers that were drunk Or liver failure, life as a ba*tard, the driver made him exit the bus
