Dreamer - August Alsina

She was only 17 when she left home heading of to college

Just the clothes on the back 40 dollars in the pocket

On the couch of a one bedroom apartment

Roommate tryna get her to pop her p**sy for dollars

He was only 13 just a look out on the corner

He started of small couple pills and ***

Now he's thinking he should go out on the block

And see if he can get sh*t poppin'

He was tired of going in for just a little bit of profit

She fell in love with the ballers and bottles

He fell in love with the block and the Glock

Now he totin the choppers

Why does it seem like nobody want to be lawyers or doctors

Now a days everybody out there tryna be dealers and models

Just a thought

I guess that's how it goes

When it's all you know

And you ain't a dreamer

And you ain't a dreamer

I guess that's how it be

When it's all you see

And you ain't a dreamer

And you ain't a dreamer

Now you can find her on a Wednesday

Trickin' and twerking and working

So hard for them singles

24 how to get naked

Money she see for the takin'

She gonna take it

Been dancing so long she don't now

When she'll be graduatin'

Friends tryna tell her she trippin'

She telling them to stop hatin'

3 years later for he grows into a men

Got a pocket full of money 9 mili in his hand

Momma prayin' tryin' make him understand

That they just wanna put him in the system

It's to late now he convicted

She fell in love with the ballers and bottles

He fell in love with the block and the Glock

Now he totin the choppers

Why does it seem like nobody want to be lawyers or doctors

Now a days everybody out there tryna be dealers and models

Just a thought

I guess that's how it goes

When it's all you know

And you ain't a dreamer

And you ain't a dreamer

I guess that's how it be

When it's all you see

And you ain't a dreamer

And you ain't a dreamer

She never dreamt about going to college

Choosing her major

Getting some knowledge

He never dreamt about living for something

All that he knew was he was tired of the struggle

She never knew that

She'd ever do that

Now she addicted to the money and the new bags

And now he wish that

She could get back

All the time he lost

Now he pays the cost

She fell in love with the ballers and bottles

He fell in love with the block and the Glock

Now he totin the choppers

Why does it seem like nobody want to be lawyers or doctors

Now a days everybody out there tryna be dealers and models

Just a thought

I guess that's how it goes

When it's all you know

And you ain't a dreamer

And you ain't a dreamer

I guess that's how it be

When it's all you see

And you ain't a dreamer

And you ain't a dreamer
