Dreamer
BB & Q. Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I been healing for a minute I make money off my ex
And when I go to sleep I hear shooter to the left
I was born in the east that mean I was born to step
If my bag look good I do everything but stress
Why would I chase a bitch when I rather chase a check
Don't play internet games post my numbers just to flex
She want a trip to Tulum just to post it to the net
You don't talk about your feelings never tell me how you felt
Then you had to watch me glow up can't believe you took that L
If a nigga violating shoot my shot like I'm Steph
Sorry for the wait I make music when I want
Imma big figure nigga I do everything but front
I hear niggas screaming candyman they think I'm scared or what
I can turn you to a pack tell my niggas hit the blunt
Think my legs getting tired this a 5 year run
And I gamble with my exes I can parlay when I want
I go crazy with a bitch everything but fall in love
Covid over mask off let me hit it from the front
Say my name say my name Destiny Child with it huh
They call me Eastside Q yeah I'm the youngest son
I been popping since Shawty Lo had da da da da dunn
If you hear me bout to drop nigga pack your album up
The BB & Q Band's song "Dreamer" delves into the concept of dreaming and the emotions associated with it. The singer is addressing someone who they believe is dreaming, but in reality, they are wide awake. The opening lyrics establish the dichotomy between the state of mind someone is in and the reality of their situation. The individual is laughing in the dark and crying in their sleep, indicating a sense of confusion and despair. The singer recognizes this and wants to be the one to reveal the truth to them. They are the only one who is still dreaming.
The chorus further emphasizes this theme, with the singer feeling alone and lost, not knowing where to wander or go. The person they are addressing believes they are dreaming, and the singer is at a loss as to what to do. They recognize that they are living in a world of loneliness but want to hold this person close to them and make them see that they are not dreaming.
The verses repeat the chorus's sentiment, with the singer feeling alone and emphasizing the need for the other person to see that they are not in a dream state. The song's overall message is one of longing for connection and the pain of feeling isolated and disconnected. It conveys the human need for companionship and love.
