Mr. Rice - Where Dreams Come From

Yea
Yea
Look
Scratching and clawing and moving
And doing things that I shouldn't have been doing
I'm from the hood stupid
What kinda facts are those
See they taught us ruthless
Then they taught us guns
They gave us drugs
And we learned hate
But when you find love
Man you'll slip through the cracks
And make it out this place
Listen
Back to tell the youth
Don't you ever lose hope
You ain't living for a lost cause
Yea
And if you gotta sew a seed
Don't sew nightmares
This is where dreams come from
And don't you ever fucking settle
Find your purpose
Get your shit together
We ain't depending on weather
But reign my nigga
The wetter the better
You see I grew up on the side of the city
Where my white friends parents said they couldn't come
And now I'm living on that side of the city
And my kids know exactly where we come from
And umma let you in on something
The hand crafted that silver spoon
So remain in tune
About what's consumed
So when you die
They can't raid the tombs
Opportunity awaits
Just get the mindset to say
Fuck the current tribulations
It may look shitty right now
But you build
There is time in the future for some renovations
Praise to the Most High God
Praise to the Most High God
My knees to the floor
My hands to the sky
When the praises goes up
Then the blessings come down
Listen
If you gon' do something
Do it right now don't wait
Cause the weight will weigh you down nigga
It's an uphill battle where we from
Think twice before you make poor decisions nigga
Life is short
Ask the niggas that didn't make it
Be real
Look at the niggas thats really faking
Ain't nothing free in this life
You gotta be ready for a fight
While standing in the dark
Gotta find your light
And if you ain't got faith
It will never be bright
I know I've been there
I've lived there I'm Rice
I'm at my future's door
My body getting weak
But these dreams gone grow
So we gone be alright
Banks You a Fool
