Dollar and a Dream III lyrics

by

Kanye West


[Intro]
Yeah, hey, Cole world

[Hook]
Hey, I gotta dollar and a dream, that's all a n*gga got
So if it's 'bout that cream, then I'm all up in the spot
I got a dollar and a dream, just a dollar and a dream

[Verse 1]
Cole, walk with a n*gga, I give you my pain
So much on my mind, I wonder how it fit in my brain
Scattered thoughts, dark secrets lead me to a blacker heart
Life can't get any worse, Stevie with his glasses off
'Cause I still don't see hope, lookin' for a quick fix
When everyone I see is broke, get lost in weed smoke
Knowin' it make it worse, thoughts roam uncontrollably
Barely trustin' n*ggas, over a decade they been knowin' me
sh*t, life at the bottom, nobody but God got em'
They say he wouldn't leave me, yet I'm fallin' like it's Autumn
Tell me, what do you do just when you're on your last dollar
And the stress of this mess you in can make your ass holla?
Do you fold, grow bitter and grow cold?
No longer fightin', now the only thing you grow is old
Or do you flip that f*ckin' dollar to a dream?
Whether a scholar or a fiend, watch a pawn become a king
Cole!
[Pre-Hook]
Young n*gga with his jeans low
Nice guy, just got a mean flow
Never seen rich but he's seen poor
Mr. Dollar and a Dream in case she ain't know

[Hook]
That's all a n*gga got
So if it's 'bout that cream, then I'm all up in the spot
I got a dollar and a dream, just a dollar and a dream

[Verse 2]
Yeah, armed and ready, you n*ggas strung out, you spaghetti
Ya paper, confetti, small time, y'all on one, I'm on mine
You logged off 'cause I'm online, small talk from small minds
I wanna buy the mall but there ain't sh*t in this small town
This where I get my dough
My n*ggas make sure the money right and then I rip the show
I run the town they tried to call me underground
I spun around like, you wish
Homie my backpack Louis, now watch just how I do this
I got the nerds rappin' hard sh*t, dummies rappin' smart sh*t
Mozart meets Humphrey Bogart with this from the heart sh*t
Play your part, life is but a dream for me
I get a flash of nightmares when n*ggas scheme on me
It's hard to see my enemies, who infiltrated my team
I take a step back and notice that things ain't what they seem
That's when a n*gga refocus, yeah I turn on them high beams
I got that red dot waitin', I'm wastin' your whole regime
I wish a n*gga would, boy you can't out-smart me
I let you feel like you the sh*t, but boy you can't out-fart me
Ya never have it, I know you want what I got
But n*gga you ain't me, but you are what I'm not
And that's a phony ass, lonely ass, Cole is what you know me as
But we far from homies, if you know my mama, you know me
If ya don't then well I'm sorry, you should get to know Kay
Man she been workin' too hard, I should send her a bouquet
My goal this year is a real one, gonna stack a million
And as soon as I do, Mama that 9 to 5 is through
And I know I ain't been callin', but I'm thinkin' 'bout you
And all the sh*t that you been through
My girl and then my brother too
'Cause this life gets hard on this road, yeah it's true
I don't never tell you how much I be stressin', but I do
But I suck it up for who? My fans and my mans
Who probably never ever had this type of lifestyle in they plans
Hoppin' in and out of vans, on the buses, on the planes
Gettin' brain from a b*tch and thinkin' "Goddamn, what's her name?"
Sometimes I just shake my head and tell myself this is a shame
And then my other side kick in like, "b*tch, don't be so f*ckin' lame"
Dang, what a life, another day, another night
At times this sh*t is all blurry, pray and hope that God heard me
Just for those prayin' for me, man I know that y'all worry
But I ain't never failed and you can bet I never will
Cole!

Young n*gga with his jeans low

[Hook]
That's all a n*gga got
So if it's 'bout that cream, then I'm all up in the spot
I got a dollar and a dream, just a dollar and a dream

[Outro]
Hey, 'cause n*gga that's life, and trust me I'm livin'
Look what a n*gga made out the sh*t that I was given
Look what a n*gga made out
Look what a n*gga made out
Got a dollar and a dream
