Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When I woke up, I hopped in the big body
I can't cap, I been having a couple problems
And it hurts 'cause I can′t do a thing ′bout it
Damn, I been havin' dreams of molly
Yes, I told that bitch to dream about me
Girl know she hot, ain′t no dreams about it
Why do I only dream of things in thousands
A thousand miles away, I think about you
I'm so stuck in my head and I can′t get out
Dug her hand in my chest, let her take it out
But I gotta stay focused, need another thousand
I wish I could be with you like every hour
I can't cap, these bitches gettin′ to me right now
But they only love me 'cause I'm dripping right now
All these mixed emotions got me trippin′ right now
Told myself it ain′t no reason to pipe up, simmer down
Bet this girl led me right up, sweep me out
Come alive in the nighttime, lights out
And I'm on a long ride right now
And she say, "Hit my phone, like, right now"
Damn, what this shit about?
Yeah, damn, I guess it′s going down
Guess I gotta keep it real right now
Am I toxic? Probably
If I hurt you, just know that I'm sorry
Keep it real, I just need someone to ride with me
I play my role, but never games, no Atari
I′m in love with money and this muhfucking margin
I keep it going, tell these niggas, "Don't start, please"
Get some money then these people start watching
Give my music to you like a muhfucking car key
When I woke up, I hopped in the big body
This shit that I′m doing, I used to just dream 'bout it
I can't cap, I been having a couple problem
And it hurts ′cause I can′t do a thing 'bout it
Damn, I been havin′ dreams of molly
Yes, I told that bitch to dream about me
Girl know she hot, ain't no dreams about it
Why do I only dream of things in thousands
A thousand miles away, I think about you
I′m so stuck in my head and I can't get out
Dug her hand in my chest, let her take it out
But I gotta stay focused, need another thousand
I wish I could be with you like every hour
I can′t cap, these bitches gettin' to me right now
But they only love me 'cause I′m dripping right now
All these mixed emotions got me trippin′ right now
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I told that bitch, "Dream about me"
I told that bitch, "Dream about you"
(Dream about you, dream about me)
(Dream 'bout me)
The lyrics of "Dream About Me" by Destroy Lonely describe the rapper's thoughts and emotions as he wakes up and faces the challenges of his life as an artist. The first verse talks about how he has achieved his dreams of fame, but it has come with problems that he can't do anything about. He also mentions he's been having dreams of using drugs like molly and is craving for someone to dream about him. The second verse is about his mixed emotions and his struggle to stay focused on his music despite the distractions of women and money. He also questions if he's toxic due to guilty self-reflections and apologizes for being so.
In the chorus, the rapper repeats the hook "I been havin' dreams of molly, yes, I told that bitch to dream about me" which takes on different meanings throughout the song. He's seeking attention and validation from others, which might fill the void that his success hasn't. However, he eventually realizes that he needs to stay focused on his music and continue to work hard to achieve even more success.
