Dreams - Jarren Benton

We just wishin' on the ghetto stars

Money, clothes, hoes and cars

Ridin' dirty in my city streets

Blowin' half a O and go and chase my dreams

Yeah, swear a nigga got dreams

Wish upon a ghetto star

Clutchin' on my hopes and dreams

Some niggas won’t make it

Sorry y’all but that’s the way it seems

Put this crack on paper

He puts his on top of triple beams

Different ways to get it but we all just want the same thing

Opportunity’s a limit, there’s some niggas slayin' ‘cane

Makin' out of this nightmare, swear it’s hard to maintain

Underneath Graffiti Bridge searchin' for a decent vein

What’s inside this needle is the only thing that ease my pain

Scariest feelin' is not knowin' how to make it one more day

So we meditate and pray, hope to God I find my way

Cause right now I’m not okay

So I take it day by day, and hope these worries go astray

I’m relyin' on these words to put my kids to better places

Call it crazy, all the choices of niggas not educated

Barely made it over some obstacles that I’ve seen

Try not to lose my life for my sanity, when I chase my dreams

Wish upon a ghetto star

Hope my grandma’s sickness vanish

Think about her frequently

Anxiety, I sit and panic

Hope you know I love you even though I don’t express it much

I’m just tryna make it, niggas starvin' out here desperate

Infatuated with not bein' a loser or a lame

Money talks, I did not write the rules to all these games

Hoes flock when money comes

Bitch is you insane?

She just out here tryna get it

You can’t fuck away your pain

Who am I kiddin', I can drink away mine neither

I didn’t know that you was hurtin' too

I am no mind reader

And we let our demons destroy the love that we built for one another

Say some hateful shit we don’t mean, ain’t that a muthafucka?

You know I love you and I do this shit for y’all

Apologize for everything, my back’s against the wall

Barely made it over some obstacles that I’ve seen

And I prayin' I don’t lose you every day, when I chase my dreams
