Big Dreams
Jim Crow Lyrics

Big dreams make big stars
Ambitious goals can lead to great success

Don't forget who you are
Remember your roots and values as you achieve success

Although I live for today
I focus on the present moment rather than worrying about the future

I ain't ???? I'm ????
I am who I am, unapologetically myself

???? bed dream
I dream big despite any obstacles in my way

On the camera scene know what I mean
I'm familiar with the entertainment industry and its demands

Get the bitch out your blood stream
Avoid getting distracted or influenced by negative people or habits

See the green make some niggaz cake
Money motivates some people to succeed

Some buy a house on the lake
Some people use their wealth to purchase luxurious assets

I'm a cheapskate like chocolate shake
Despite my success, I choose to be frugal

And an ???? for the bath tub like the last love
I indulge in expensive baths as a way to relax

Hundred and twenty seconds of that ????
A reference to a drug-induced high or personal pleasure

Begging me to do whatever I would when I could
Despite temptation, I try to make responsible decisions

And I should but I can't in the hood a nigga ain't
Despite wanting to make better choices, I'm limited by my upbringing and environment

Is it wood is or is it paint
Questioning the authenticity of something

Can't thaink because of the drank
Drinking alcohol impairs my ability to think clearly

Because of the cheese
The desire for money and material possessions

Naw it's the jeans won't let her breath
A humorous reference to tight jeans

These dollars keep burning quicker than the weed
Money is spent just as quickly as it's earned

Nigga please I take it day by day
I focus on short-term goals rather than long-term plans

Picture perfect our stylez
Our appearance is pristine and well-coordinated

For those who rumor
To those who spread gossip or lies

Only leaving themselves blind to see if you ask me
People who believe rumors are ignorant and uninformed

Should be drug on concrete
They should be physically punished for their actions

Thus few less with heart
Only a small number of people have true courage or bravery

Then not to repeat buddy you weak
Don't repeat the same mistakes or negative behaviors if you want to be strong

How it start as an art
The origins of hip hop were artistic and creative

A ritual that hasn't evolved
Hip hop culture hasn't changed or improved in some ways

I say y'all meaning you
The artist is addressing the listener directly

Check em like some girls
Call them out on their behavior or hold them accountable

Coming from lunch on be hall
Referring to a high school hallway where gossip often spreads

Telling your buddies 'bout who you do
Boasting or bragging about sexual activity

Your self help from school like it's cool
Ignoring the importance of education or intellectual growth

You talk too much
You reveal too much or say things you shouldn't

You told my girl who I'm drilling and cutting
You revealed intimate information about me to someone else

Yet it's all for nuthing
Your actions or words have no real value or impact

Still ain't got to deal with that shit
The singer doesn't have to face the consequences of your actions or words

Fuck pain and suffering
A dismissive attitude towards the consequences of bad decisions

I got to get it and get more
The pursuit of wealth or possessions is a top priority

Politic connect with the next
Network and form strategic alliances to further success

To get this Jim Crow shit jumping like some sex
To bring excitement and energy to the Jim Crow brand or business

I'm hot flesh I see y'all niggaz hating cause we fresh
The singer is confident and aware of those who envy his success

Some expose yourself lollygaggers and coat checkers
Some people reveal their true motives or intentions through their actions or words

Pay your fare cause I just can't share it's all there
The artist expects others to pay their own way or work hard for their own success
