Since a younglin'

always dreamed of gettin' rich

Look at me my *****

Fantasize about a white picket fence

With some trees my *****

Used to want a path

finder with some tints

That's all I need my *****

Throw some 20's on that *****

and get it rinsed

But now I see my *****

That the worlds a lot bigger ever since

Picked up the paper

and they say my *****

Eddie caught a body,

I'm convinced

Anybody is a killer,

all you gotta do is push 'em to the limits

**** being timid in the Civic politicin'

with the pushers and the pimps

I'm tryna write a story, can I get a glimpse?

Yeah can I get a glimpse?

Last night I had a bad dream

That I was trapped in this city

Then I asked is that really

such a bad thing?

They robbin' ****** on the daily

Can you blame a *****

that ain't never had things?

Guess not, last night they pulled up

on my ***** at the light like

Uh, nice watch, run it

Hands in the air now,

hands in the air, run it

Hands in the air now,

hands in the air, run it

Hands in the air now,

hands in the air

Hands in the air now,

hands in the air

Small town ***** Hollywood dreams

I know that everything

that glitters ain't gold

I know the s*it ain't always

good as it seems

But tell me till you get it

how could you know?......

Listen up I'm about to go

and get rich

**** with me my *****

We gon' circle round

the Ville and hit a lick

Cop some tree my *****

And some powder, bag it up

and make it flip

You gon' see my *****

One day we gon' graduate

and cop a brick

And that's the key my *****

Listen up I'm bout to go and get rich

Stand back and watch

if you want to *****

Me I want my pockets fat,

a badder *****

Tired of seein' ****** flaunt,

I wanna flaunt too *****

Watch some rollers

in the f****n' Crown Vic

Tryna lock a ***** up,

that's what they won't do *****

Wanna know a funny thing about this s*it?

Even if you let em' kill your dream

it'll haunt you *****

haunt you

Last night I had a bad dream

That I was trapped in this city

Then I asked is

that really such a bad thing?

I look around like do

you wanna be another *****,

that ain't never had things?

(What's the value of a thing?)

Guess not, last night

we pulled up on a *****

at the light like

Uh, nice watch, run it

Hands in the air now,

hands in the air, run it

Hands in the air now,

hands in the air, run it

Hands in the air now,

hands in the air

Hands in the air now,

hands in the air

Father forgive me for my, childish ways

I look outside and all the clouds are gray

I need your hands to take me, miles away

Your wish is my command, my command,

my command, but

Before you go I've got to, warn you now

Whatever goes up surely, must come down

And you'll get your piece

but no peace, won't be found

So why just take me man,

take me man, take me man

Your wish is my command,

my command, my command
