The Dream

[Verse 1] Go ahead, laugh at me—I'm slap-happy When I pack the "u-zay", they call me "Cool J" Cause I'm cap-happy I don't see the purpose of talking The hardest nigga walking the Earth I could just ride by em, merc em, and chalk em Put them in a hearse and a coffin First of all, nigga—y'all need to just be EASY And quit taking DRUGS I turned your Evisu Jeans to Capris EASY I bathed your Bathing Apes in BLOOD Beefing with me?—you're going to be burning in hell, fam All you gotta do is sound off— give a yell and Come on out with your gown off CHECK your mailbox and Get a groundhog as your *permanent* mailman! I'm from the "Dirty Glove" where motherfuckers kill COPS FUCK standing out on them corners, nigga, we build SPOTS (Yeah) We flip real-estate; with the residuals from killing weight If I ain't getting cake, I ain't feeling STRAIGHT [Hook; Rell:] I got a heart, rock solid, money, I'm bout it Streets is the place where I got IT, yeah (Nigga I represent "Rock City") (Home of the rock solid rottweilers) (We bout piling from the bottom to the top dollar) And you can talk all you wanna (HOLLA) But when I run up (Yeah) You gon' wish you ain't said NOTHI-ING, no (Nigga—forget that cheese) (Here to tell her, "Fix that weave"?) (PLEASE, you fucking with a STREET nigga) [Verse 2] Go ahead, MUG at me—I'm THUG happy Keep his head cool 'fore I put lead through a tool to skullcap (hah!) We don't be screaming no colors or popping our fingers (Naw) We toured like "Ring-a-ling" Brothers, we shopped in Sardinia Spent a lot on our daughters, we see you on them Sea-Doos That ain't what we do (uh-uh), we put the yacht on the water Now let's bet TRIPLE While you in that "Best Western" (where you at?) We in the snorkeling next to that "S.S. Nickel" (Hoo!) So put your money where your mouth at (uh-huh) The stakes is high, and I ain't talking bout from Outback!

(Haha!) THAT'S why I'm famous, spitting that flame And money is the root of all *other* evil, that's why I'm DANGEROUS! [Hook] [Verse 3] Now you could Say that I AM the way that I AM Cause basically, it's safe to say that that's the way that I AM It's unsafe to try to see if I would spray the way that I AM If you was trying to see if I'm what I say that I AM The disappointment is in the BULLET The miscommunication is in the MIND-FRAME It's basically a CON game Just play your cards right cause you don't know who's BLUFFING Alls you know is "Those who don't gamble lose nothing"! Nobody's perfect, where it's "kill or be killed" Everybody's chasing that cash; nobody's WORTH IT Any nigga with money AIN'T trying to beef, cause AIN'T no money in war, shit just ain't FUNNY no more You got dudes snitching and shit, BITCHING and shit Guess they ASSUME that I got crews in the KITCHEN and shit Just cause my jewels glisten and shit They probably would LIKE me if they HEARD me But niggas just REFUSE to listen to SHIT [Hook (repeat x2)]
