Yeah uh

This for all my ville niggas man

All my Carolina niggas man

The lights off and ****

All my real niggas no matter where you come from and ****

We gon' call this **** right here "A Dolla And A Dream"

A dolla and a dream that's all a nigga got so

Yeah

If it's about that cream then I'm all up in the spot

I was raised in the F-A-Y a nigga never gave me nothing

Pops left me I ain't never cry baby **** him that's life

And trust me I'm living look what a nigga made out

The **** that I was given look what a nigga came out

Momma sewing patches on my holes

Man our h*es couldn't put this flame out

Straight up I got my back against the brick wall

Yeah

I'm from a world where niggas never pop no Cristal it was pistols

You pass through you better pray them bullets miss y'all

I thank the Lord He let a nigga make it this far

A lot niggas don't a lot of moms weep

Yeah

I gotta carry on all the weight is on me

You never know when a nigga might try to harm me

Rest In Peace that nigga John Lee I pour liquor homie

It's foul but yo the world keeps spinning

Gotta keep winning get up off this cheap linen

Nigga I'mma eat even if it means sinning

Niggas want beef I'ma sink my teeth in 'em

Pause I go harder

Yeah

I am all about a dollar

Yeah

You niggas street smart?

I'm a ************* scholar

So trust me I ain't stopping 'til my money is long

So much dough them h*es will think I'm rocking money cologne

Have a model at the crib waiting "Honey I'm home"

Cooking greens for a nigga give him plenty of dome

It's funny we dream about money so much it's like we almost got it

Until we reach up in our pockets

Damn

It's time to face reality

Yeah

The ville is a trap nigga now

And if you ain't focused you gonna be here for a while yeah

My nigga Mike rolling with me riding shotgun

Type a nigga know about every car but don't got one

That's hunger no wonder niggas ******* with the evils

Posted on the corner selling crack like its legal

But who am I to judge how a nigga get his paper?

This money coming soon dog I'm tryna get my cake up

I guess I gotta wake up these niggas myself

Uh-huh

An E&J sipper but my **** is top shelf

Young J

Uh

The rawest **** you niggas ever heard of

Yeah

A journalist nigga call me the Fayetteville Observer

Uh yeah

Yeah

You know the routine man

Fayettnam

Real niggas can relate

And Ville niggas can relate man

My niggas know about the struggle man

What you know about your momma sewing patches on your holes nigga?

I had the light blue jeans with the green patches haha oh ****

I was in like first grade man I swear

It was like the Sixes came out the Jordan Sixes

Them **** was so fly man I wanted them so bad

I begged my mom for that **** you know

But she couldn't afford it yo she gave me

Got me some Reeboks Blacktops ahaha

But that was all good tho cuz uh

The year after that I had I had some some no name ****s

Some all black ****s haha
