Rickie B. - Small City Big Dreamz

I'm a Vegas raised brutha
Who was bred from the Norf side
Creased them dickies, wore a polo every day
Cuz dress code was enforced bruh
Chey Town
Changed my swag up so of course I
Went from Lil Rickie to Rickie B.
In No time
But understand the principalities
2 choices
Either be a leader or a fallacy
Make yo mark
People got exposed for being fake
Wit no remorse
Survival of the fittest was the policy
(Yea)… So survive I did
A brutha became Giant in his own right
Literally
Went from 07 to 11
Never fully fit in wit the crowd
But made my crowd fit me
That mentality
Made me realize it was for change ...
Couldn't be around people
Who wasn't like minded
Got my diploma
Took my talents further up
So I could learn to be a man
And experience what was up in college
Reno, Nevada
The biggest little city
Where the biggest change happens
Through small steps
Went from being Financially stable
To jobless
But God told me my set backs
Would lead to some progress
Metaphorically
My situations James Harden ...
Step back ... shoot the J
Stroke became potent
This was important
Cuz How I'm supposed to help my city win
If I can't find another way
To keep scoring
My drive wasn't enough then
I'm 5'6 Who I'm dunkin’ on? ...
I Had to learn how to lay up then
But I needed help too
So I figured go get assists
Cuz life is easier when somebody can help you
One thing I've learned is perseverance
Is the trait of a great
Can't help nobody if I never got above my mistakes
So I fight to get to the top
Might be in a Small City
But my Dreams are Vegas made
And that is just where it starts
I’m Just a Kid who’s from the block
Trynna Be something out of Vegas’ streets
Knowing imma be a somebody
But to make it is more real than it seems (Hey)
I might be in this Small City
But All the struggles from my past came wit me
So what I gotta do Just to live out my dreams in America
Small City Big Dreamz
I might be in a small city
And All the struggles from my past came wit me
So what i gotta do to make it out of this scene
(Ooooh)
But to make it is more real than it seems
I can see it, I promise
Imma make it in America
Small City Big Dreamz
You see I dream different,
It's like I know what God got for me
But can't fathom it all
Cuz this city ain't got a lot for me
Swear it's obsolete
Compared to Vegas it's the opposite
But mentality wise,
Both are similar to its boxing rings
So how a city like Vegas got all this talent
But don't wanna see they own
Rise and make something happen out of it
Then y'all wonder why
When they make it they don't come back to it
Cuz there ain't nothing there
That'll support building a brand for it
(Real talk)
Bet I'll grind harder than yo hate
Dream big
But I'm gon’ make it all possible one day
No apologies,
But if u hear clearly then you will follow me
And understand
I want my city to stop this hypocrisy
Start supporting artists who got it
And if u don't
Get advice so you'll progress
Like insurance quotas from Flo
Or like global warming
They warning you to get cold or go broke
But in Vegas even the great ones
Get boozled if yo approach isn't gold
Rough crowd
But I ain't crackin’ at all
I love my city
And I just wanna put on for y'all
My aim is to spread a message
To inspire the lost,
Get good music back to radio
And kill every chart
Sell out every single arena
And kill every bar like it's my last breath
Ain't no half stepping from on
And guarantee I'll take off
So while u People pre season
I'll work harder than the last game of the playoffs
I’m Just a Kid who’s from the block
Trynna Be something out of Vegas’ streets
Knowing imma be a somebody
But to make it is more real than it seems (Hey)
I might be in this Small City
But All the struggles from my past came wit me
So what I gotta do Just to live out my dreams in America
Small City Big Dreamz
I might be in a small city
And All the struggles from my past came wit me
So what i gotta do to make it out of this scene
(Ooooh)
But to make it is more real than it seems
I can see it, I promise
Imma make it in America
Small City Big Dreamz
