The Dream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Run my fingers in her hair and say come to me
First there is a no, then she says yes baby
She's the Dream of a billion men
Go girl
Go girl
See she made her way from nothing
She loves men that can afford (yea)
She wants to, live fancy
Trips to Monaco, designer names from head to toe (they're fancy)
On planes that fly clear across the roaming skies
Brilliant cars, Spend evenings among the stars (live fancy)
Diamond rings ooh ooh ooh oh
All those things, live fancy
All those things, live fancy
All those things, live fancy
All those things, live fancy
She spends her time
Aboard yachts if not, somewhere tasting wine
In Paris seducing me while we dine
She's only 23, but ahead of her time
She's the Dream of a billion men
Go girl
See she made her way from nothing
Can't fault her for wanting something
She loves men that can afford (yea)
She wants to, live fancy
Trips to Monaco, designer names from head to toe (they're fancy)
On planes that fly clear across the roaming skies
Brilliant cars, Spend evenings among the stars (live fancy)
Diamond rings ooh ooh ooh oh
All those things, live fancy
All those things, live fancy
All those things, live fancy
All those things, live fancy
'Cause of me all she do, is walk around in Italian shoes
She's probably a girl you used to know
I can see her beauty with both eyes closed
But you didn't notice she fell in love with what she noticed
That I'm fancy
Trips to Monaco, designer names from head to toe (I'm fancy)
On planes that fly clean across the roaming skies (I'm fancy)
Brilliant cars, Spend evenings among the stars (I'm fancy)

Got no need she got me buying her them Fendi shoes
All we do is shop until we drop right there in the floor
All we do is make love foreign places til we cant no more
They say you can't buy love, man they lying

If she wanna make love on the edge of the world, I'll buy it
Have anything she want cause she my girl, say it shawty got it
We flyer than flying in g5 jets
Or First class, coach class no disrespect
My New York apartment JFK
In the helicopter just the pilots going my way
I'm worldly swerving in Bentley whips
Don't even have to watch how I spend my chips
Dollars to Euros, I'm every nigga's hero
Cause even when I used to rock polo I was (fancy)
