H-Town Dreams
Chamillionaire Lyrics

We hear em talking dine
Despite hearing negative comments from others, we remain focused and committed

But we still On the grind
Regardless of obstacles, we continue to work hard to achieve success

Crawlin' slow Tippin' dine
Driving slowly and leaning to the side in a lowrider car as a statement of H-town pride

But we do it for h-town
Our actions are motivated by a desire to represent and uplift our hometown of Houston, Texas

We back up on the rise Feeling good Feeling fine
After facing challenges, we are now making progress and feeling positive about our future

Poppin' trunk Tell them boys its time to lay it dine Tell tell them boys its time to lay it dine
Unveiling the contents of our car's trunk (such as a sound system) as a show of success and letting others know it's time to recognize and respect our achievements

Cause we do it for Cause we do it for h-town
The driving force behind our actions is always to represent and uplift our hometown of Houston, Texas

Even after the Ozone Awards is over We still feeling like ain't nobody colder
Despite the passage of time and conclusion of events like the Ozone Awards, we remain confident and at the top of our game

Still throwing twenty inch swangs on the Rover Candy like they dated twenty fifth of October
We continue to show off our success and style by driving luxurious cars with large rims and intricate, high-quality paint jobs

Told ya'll to chill wit that instigatin' You say you from the H and its instant hatin'
We advise people to stop provoking conflict and jealousy simply because they claim to be from Houston

We started the trend you imitatin' These swangas and voughes these isn't daytons
We originated the trend of driving cars with large rims and unique paint jobs, and others who try to copy us are not doing it with the same level of skill and authenticity

Seen us doing it in Harlem Knights Say we do it big then you boys is right
People have witnessed our success in other cities, and it is true that we are living extravagantly

Spending more dough than you saw in ya life And that's just what ya boy spent on the dice
We are spending more money than most people can imagine, and we don't mind risking large sums on games of chance

Instigatin' you instigatin' we gon' hold it dine yea ya'll see Hate won't ever live as long as me End of the bullet where the karma be Why you wanna try to come talk to me Try to ask me if Rick Ross still a G Journalists need to get up off my D Him and E-Class always kept it real with me The rap game looking so childish lately Told me the industry is bound to break me Can't let the fakeness dominate me Step up in the streets say its time to pay me Ain't never been a friend of the industry I ain't never been a friend of the gimmicky I ain't never been good with the chemistry But let me tell ya'll clowns what its finna be
We are tired of being provoked and criticized by others when we have done nothing wrong. Hatred and negativity aimed at us will not outlast our own success and righteousness. We are uninterested in shallow or fake relationships with people in the music industry and prefer to be authentic and true to our own vision. We are ready to demand compensation for our talents and hard work, and we refuse to compromise our authenticity for anyone else's sake.

Texas ain't as hot as it was so they say we ain't as worth as much Ringtone rappers actors dancers trappers they just outworking us 50 Cent working way harder baby And Lil Wayne was working harder too All of us was getting street paper but that was way before Carter 2 If you from Texas and a Screw head when I wrote this Verse I swear I thought of you Another clique should've came behind us we already showed what working hard Would do payed the price to live the major life but when we hear the hate we tell Boys to chill Bun be the main Texas rapper holding Texas up right now for real Pimp passed we should've learned from that we ought to all be helping Bun Rep the trill Rep the swangs Rep the paint Rep the bang Rep the grill Seen Pat in a red Lincoln seen Slim Thug in a photo drop So I had to chop off the roof take a picture of that and call it photo chop Been riding clean Since Rodney King Martin Luther Dream and chrome monoblocks All of us been repping Texas baby one thing I know is that it sho' don't stop
Texas may not be as important to the music industry as it once was, but that doesn't mean we are worth any less. We see other kinds of performers (like ringtone rappers and dancers) working harder than us, but we know that our work ethic is still strong. Even though we were all making money early in our careers, after Lil Wayne's Carter 2 album came out, everything changed and we had to adjust. This song is a tribute to our fellow Houston rappers who we look up to and respect, especially Bun B. We continue to represent the Houston style and aesthetic- from our flashy rims to our unique paint jobs- because it's a part of who we are and we're proud of it.

H-Town nawfside That's where the boss ride Haters get ya mouth wide Ya insides outside
We represent the northern part of Houston and are leaders in our community. For those who talk badly about us, they better prepare themselves for the consequences.

Talking down on my side Naw we don't play that Where you say that will be the same place you lay at
Talking negatively about us or our community is not acceptable- we will defend ourselves fiercely.

We been sipping drank by the pint since way back We been candy paint on them 4s since they made that Hop up in my fly ride watch the top lay back Rather flip a drop 'Lac before I flip a Maybach Wonder why I say that I'm so hood And it ain't shit better than this leather and the wood Got my diamonds looking good and my hand on remote And I'm tucked in that buck while I float like a boat Looking clean like soap Diamond rope on my throat And I'm feeling presidential please vote for the hope If we vote for ya hope Please answer one note Let us get in mo' dough Everybody going broke
We have been drinking lean (a mixture of cough syrup and soda) for a long time, as well as customizing our cars with shiny paint and huge wheels. We love cruising in cars with convertible tops and prefer classic Cadillacs over fancy Maybachs. Our cars, clothes, and jewelry are all important markers of our culture and success, and we take pride in them. We're listening to music, cruising down the street, and feeling great- there's nothing better. While we acknowledge the potential of our community to make positive change, we also hope for more financial prosperity and success for ourselves and our peers.

King of the streets no days no sleep Paint wet as hell with reptiles on the seats Trunk got an attitude yelling out when it speak Pissed off the top it been lost for a week
We are the ultimate authority and power on the streets of Houston, and we work tirelessly to maintain our status. Our cars are customized to the extreme, with reptilian textures on the seats and incredible sound systems. We're proud of our cars and we want others to notice us.

Slab looking like Shaq by the way it post up Guaranteed to hit haters no less than close up Niggas mad cause the south done rose up Like Yao Ming big swangs on trucks
Our cars are so unique and impressive that they resemble basketball superstar Shaquille O'Neal. We're always ready to confront those who talk badly about us. People are jealous of the power and influence of the southern rap scene, but we continue to rise and remain dedicated to our unique style of driving.

Find me in the hood on a couple of blocks With a couple Aks and a couple of Glocks No work in the trunk for a couple of stops Duffle bag when I pay away a couple of cops
We're out in our community, always ready to defend ourselves and our peers with weapons. We don't have drugs in our cars, but we are always carrying money that we need to hide from the police.

I dedicate this to Hawk and Pimp see Moe and Fat Pat, Screw and Lil E I rep them the same way I rep TDC If it wasn't for them then what would I be With diamonds I'ma stay shining bright H-town all day and all night I chose the pace to come take the throne Cause some of these niggas ain't living right
We want to pay tribute to our peers who have passed away, including Hawk and Pimp C (from the group UGK), Moe, Fat Pat, DJ Screw, and Lil E. We remain dedicated to their memory and influence on Houston rap culture. We are committed to representing our city constantly and standing up for ourselves when we are wronged.

We slowed up shit and we changed the game Copped the old school and we changed the frame And wave the trunk that reads 'I Am the H' Anything you saying you better change ya name
We have had a major impact on the music industry and changed the game through our incredible style and presence. We are constantly updating and customizing our cars to show off our unique style. We represent the pride and confidence of our city, and we won't tolerate anyone who tries to disrespect us or our community.
