Life Is But a Dream (feat. Elijah Blake)

I am happy to join with you today

In what will go down in history

As the greatest demonstration for freedom

In the history of our nation

So it seems I'm lost

In between exotic cars in Phoenix

Palms hella itchy, baby mama bitchy

Dish washer broke cause them pots too sticky

Snap back to the back cause I got that crack

And I'm from that city where even the girls is packed

And I'm strapped, this zone they don't hear that rap

Shit, unless it's YG or problem

Then them bitches turn up ASAP

Like they went to school in Harlem

But they know they from Compton

Yeah, they know they from Compton

Where we put bass with the head

Before Dre was with Monster

We pull guns on niggas 'fore we ever play Contra

Turn up countering they bands

And that make them hoes dance, so (hey)

Let that bitch breathe before she take yo kids

And you be forced to watch that bitch leave

And that's every nigga's situation

In a town where them gang signs go up

And them bitches going down

Life is but a dream

I say it's not what I need (life is but a dream)

So if I'm finally free

(Don't wait me, don't save me, no) life is but a dream

Life is but a dream (life is but a dream)

I say it's not what I need (life is everything but a dream)

A great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today

Signed the Emancipation Proclamation

But one hundred years later, the negro still is not free

Niggas robbed two chains on World Star

I seen these niggas runnin'

Them ain't yo niggas no more

'Cause I got mine's comin'

You take a nigga jewels and act like you didn't did something

We take a nigga life and act like we ain't did nothing

And all of this is at a push of a button

I got niggas bustin' simply because they ribs is touchin'

And we ain't tryna work at Mickey D

Niggas is tryin to put that six on D's

And flip one in Bentley keys

Hood niggas that only wanna be hood with

Stack 100 cash, and then you safe and wife a good bitch

Cop a Gucci belt, maybe in Louie Two

Line at challenger with that Camaro and see what it do?

Hit toxic 'cause we got a fit and cane wasted

It's hot as fuck but at least we can see these hoes' faces

Hey, it's drama what that shit do

Every time we hit this city give'em a couple hoes and a pistol (hey)

'Cause I, I hold my niggas down

I said I, I hold my niggas down

Yeah, I hold my niggas down

And the day I go out, this is Kendrick's crown

No, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters

And righteousness like a mighty stream

Life is but a dream (dream, dream, dream)

Life is but a dream (dream, dream, dream)

Life is everything but a dream (dream, dream)

Overcome, we shall overcome, we shall overcome (dream, dream, dream, dream)
