Big Dream - Meek Mill

If you ain’t got a dream, you ain’t got nuttin'

A lot of niggas changed on me when I got money

Said it come with the game and this what I wanted

So I’m a hustle like the first time I got fronted

For the love of the green

And love of the team

Put together, a circle, they couldn’t come in-between

Went from lint in my pockets, to using money machines

I got my city back poppin' and they don’t want me to leave

No, they don’t want me to leave

But I gotta go and get it though

Time is money, and I’m on mission though

Poppy gotta eat, niggas shootin' 'round my momma way

Cops run in my sister crib, I swear I gotta find a way

Try to touch a million dollars and I’m like a dime away

Never asked a nigga for a hand, I always grind away

Writin my lil raps, smoke my little weed

Sold a little crack just to fund my little needs

I was 16, gettin' on my little knees

Askin' da lord please, help me get a little cheese

It was hard out, same time it was yard out

In a jungle where niggas will rip your heart out

Cold summers where niggas a probably starve out

Wanna be a kingpin from watchin niggas ball out

Couldn’t blame us, devil was tryna chain us

We just tried to fix the roof leak when it was rainin'

We just tried to keep the house warm when winter came in

But they rather the detain us, lockers and cells of strangers, the razors

The animal go in cages, that’s what the slave masters told the workers when

they slaved us

Small city, big dreams

I’ve been waiting on this day since I was 16

Since I was 16

I’ve been waiting on this day since I was 16

Small city, big dreams

I’ve been waiting on this day since I was 16

Since I was 16

I’ve been waiting on this day since I was 16

Rock man told us sun don’t shine

You know if his daddy hustled then his son gone grind

His father was locked up, now the son doin' time

Well certain niggas get to starvin' knowin' that gun gon shine

Two felonies on his record, he got one more time

Get that, picture that, he don’t want no job, lost hope

Some niggas don’t even want no God

They just want a little money just to come through fly

Cause nobody ever listens to the broke nigga

Cause when you broke, be considered as a joke nigga

If you a joke, you consider as a hoe nigga

And no nigga wanna live like livin' poe nigga

Small city, big dreams

I’ve been waiting fo this day since I was 16

Sellin white girl, I’m talkin' Christine

Young boy with dreams touching that big screen

Small city, big dreams

I’ve been waiting on this day since I was 16

Since I was 16

I’ve been waiting on this day since I was 16

Small city, big dreams

I’ve been waiting on this day since I was 16

Since I was 16

I’ve been waiting on this day since I was 16
