Daydreamin'
Ç¿Á¦±©Í½¶þÈË×éMOBB DEEP Lyrics

Daydreamin' of dirt bikes and four wheelers
Thinking about riding on dirt bikes and four wheelers for fun and excitement.

Shoppin' sprees at the diamond dealer
Spending a lot of money on jewelry and gemstones.

Hats and jackets, shirts, pants and sneakers
Buying and collecting different types of clothing, especially trendy items like hats, jackets, shirts, pants, and sneakers.

That brand new car smell
The feeling of owning a new car and the scent that comes with it.

We sceamin', daydreamin' of penthouses in L.A.
Desiring and fantasizing about owning luxurious penthouses in Los Angeles.

The illest yachts, the hottest broads they make
Wanting to own and be surrounded by the best yachts and hottest women possible.

Can't wait 'til it's my turn to get dough
Looking forward to the opportunity to make a lot of money.

So I don't gotta fuckin' day dream no more
Not having to rely on daydreams to attain one's goals and dreams anymore.

Coming up we ain't have much, a lot of canned food
Growing up, not having a lot of resources and relying on canned food for meals.

Cereal in the white box with powdered milk too
Having to use powdered milk with cereal, rather than fresh milk.

My moms couldn't buy me the shoes I want
Not being able to afford the shoes one desired and having to settle for less expensive ones.

We put lay-away on shit that only cost a few bucks
Using lay-away to buy items that were not expensive, but still difficult to afford.

It's cool to have shelto, I had the libeaz
Thinking it was cool to have a pair of shoes like Shelltoes, but only being able to afford shoes like Libeaz.

With the weak ass Velcro, looking ridiculous
Wearing shoes with weak Velcro that did not function well and looked silly on the feet.

I knew way back then we had to step it up
Realizing that in order to change their situation, they needed to work harder and find a way to elevate themselves.

'Cause waiting for the bus in the snow wasn't us
Not wanting to wait for the bus in the cold and snow, but instead wanting to have the luxury of a car.

Me and hav' took the train from Manhattan to Conney
Taking a long train ride from Manhattan to Conney in order to work on their music.

Everyday and night just so we can got songs done
Working hard and dedicating themselves to their music, even if it meant taking long train rides every day and night.

We had guns, weed and a couple of forties
Carrying guns, smoking weed, and drinking 40-ounce bottles of alcohol on their train rides.

If we got lucky on the way, we could jook someone
If they were fortunate, they might be able to rob someone on their train rides and make some extra money.

We used to watch video music box
Watching a music video show called Video Music Box for entertainment and inspiration.

And pray maybe one day we could get a shot
Hoping and dreaming for an opportunity to be successful in the music industry.

Outside, my niggaz had all that shit you see on T.V.
Watching their friends make a lot of money selling drugs and achieving the type of lifestyle that is often portrayed on television.

From money that they made off the block
Earning money from selling drugs on the street corner.

My day dreams is more like nightmares
Feeling anxious and fearful about achieving their goals, as they wonder if they will remain safe and happy once they become successful.

A vigil, bullet proof cars, supped up time shares
Worrying about safety and having to buy expensive things like bulletproof cars and timeshares out of fear.

My friends did a turn 'cause it's not they turn
Having friends who are incarcerated because they made mistakes and got caught, even though it was not their turn to succeed yet.

Or how the streets gonna be when they release fur
Wondering how the streets will have changed by the time their incarcerated friends get out of prison.

When I get that million bucks will I remain the same?
Questioning whether they will change as a person once they become wealthy.

Or will I have to get at niggaz 'cause they sayin' I changed?
Wondering if they will have to defend themselves against people who accuse them of changing after becoming successful.

Will everybody wanna ball, be my friend and leech?
Being concerned about whether people will try to take advantage of their wealth and success to benefit themselves.

When niggaz put me to the test, have me clapping the heat
Being forced to use a firearm to defend oneself if they are tested or threatened by others.

Is the 'pop police, gon' be up my ass
Worrying about law enforcement watching them closely and trying to catch them doing something illegal.

Can't leave the heat under the seat, gotta find a better stash
Having to hide their firearm in a safer way than just leaving it under the car seat.

Gotta collect receipts 'cause that bitch uncle Sam
Having to keep track of all their financial transactions and receipts because they owe taxes to the government.
