Just a Dream
YoungBloodz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It ain't a thang in this world that's gonna knock me off my feet
As I unleash total chaos into the streets
For I observe these dirty words whispering' through your mouth
So I now I take it you the big dog about the south
Oh really now, though whose to say that we won't never make it
Or even get the chance to tell the world just how we made it
Cause know that we gonna keep it crunk, no matter what
Now who the fuck, just al nut, it's a must for you to get crushed
So don't rush to get dat' change
You'd besta wake on up and take a look inside this frame
For everything ain't everything when times are gettin' rough
To pressure is your conscience in this game you callin' bluff
Now nigga what, yeah

Oh, a lot of hatin' went on doing this thang here
Folks just swore we wasn't finna' put it down for the A-town
You know what I'm saying? I ain't gotta call no names
Cause you know who you are
You know what I'm sayin'
All I got to say to all of y'all is...
You can't keep nobody from the Attic down
Know what I'm sayin', and that's on the floor

Yea, it's me, remember me from back in the day
The same ol' nigga you thought wouldn't get paid
Look at me now nigga, shit done changed
Ain't no mo' gettin' wet in the rain
Hennessey and dank to kill all my pain
Sho' nuff' you can hear, but you can't feel me man
And it's a damn shame, we go through what we do
Playa hatin' while I'm chillin' on the avenue
Can't hold no nigga down from the Attic Crew
that's for trill on the blow, straight from me to you
Better listen up now, cause ain't no tellin' what's next
The dem' between real and the ones that flex
All in your face grinnin' when you cash that check
But when they get down and dirty it's like "fuck dat' bitch"
Ass nigga, so how you figga' I was wrong
Got a baby, and a crib to keep clothes on
Long time ago, way before the grind
Trouble had become a friend of mine
You off up in my head, its just a matter of time
Before I rip shit apart and let Sean Paul shine
Like dem' folks open face off in yo' grill
I ain't tryin' to be greedy, I'm just tryin' to live




Now that the picture clear, and you know what I mean
Being broke all again slick it's just a dream

I notice you're talking badly behind my back


So I now I take it you the big dog about the south
I assume you think you are the best in the southern region


Oh really now, though whose to say that we won't never make it
Who is to say that we won't succeed

We might not even get the chance to share our success story


Cause know that we gonna keep it crunk, no matter what
We will keep it energetic and exciting no matter what happens


Now who the fuck, just al nut, it's a must for you to get crushed
Who do you think you are? You are going to get crushed.


So don't rush to get dat' change
Don't be impatient to make money


You'd besta wake on up and take a look inside this frame
You should look within yourself and evaluate your actions


For everything ain't everything when times are gettin' rough
In tough times, not everything is what it seems


To pressure is your conscience in this game you callin' bluff
You're bluffing in this game, and your conscience is under pressure


Now nigga what, yeah
Now what are you going to do about it?


Oh, a lot of hatin' went on doing this thang here
We faced a lot of criticism while pursuing this endeavor


Folks just swore we wasn't finna' put it down for the A-town
People didn't think we could represent Atlanta well


You know what I'm saying? I ain't gotta call no names
You know what I mean? I don't need to mention anyone specifically


Cause you know who you are
Because you know if you were one of the haters


You can't keep nobody from the Attic down
No one can keep us down from the Attic crew


Know what I'm sayin', and that's on the floor
Do you understand what I'm trying to say? I'm serious.


Yea, it's me, remember me from back in the day
Yes, it's me, the same person you knew from the past


The same ol' nigga you thought wouldn't get paid
You never thought I would be successful


Look at me now nigga, shit done changed
Look at me now, I have succeeded


Ain't no mo' gettin' wet in the rain
I don't have to get wet in the rain anymore


Hennessey and dank to kill all my pain
I drink Hennessy and smoke weed to ease my troubles


Sho' nuff' you can hear, but you can't feel me man
You can hear me, but you can't understand me completely


And it's a damn shame, we go through what we do
It's sad that we have to go through the struggles we face


Playa hatin' while I'm chillin' on the avenue
While I'm relaxing on the street, others are still hating


Can't hold no nigga down from the Attic Crew
No one can keep a member of the Attic crew down


that's for trill on the blow, straight from me to you
That's the truth, coming directly from me to you


Better listen up now, cause ain't no tellin' what's next
Listen carefully now, because we don't know what will happen in the future


The dem' between real and the ones that flex
The difference between those who are real and those who fake it


All in your face grinnin' when you cash that check
Smiling in your face when you get paid


But when they get down and dirty it's like "fuck dat' bitch"
But when they have to face difficulty, they turn on you


Ass nigga, so how you figga' I was wrong
You're an idiot, how did you think I was wrong?


Got a baby, and a crib to keep clothes on
I have responsibilities, including a child to take care of


Long time ago, way before the grind
A long time ago, before the hustle began


Trouble had become a friend of mine
I was used to experiencing trouble


You off up in my head, its just a matter of time
You're bothering me mentally, and it's only a matter of time before I snap


Before I rip shit apart and let Sean Paul shine
Before I cause chaos and destruction and let my anger show


Like dem' folks open face off in yo' grill
Like those who confront you openly and directly


I ain't tryin' to be greedy, I'm just tryin' to live
I'm not trying to be selfish, I'm just trying to survive


Now that the picture clear, and you know what I mean
Now that everything is clear, you understand what I'm saying


Being broke all again slick it's just a dream
The idea of being poor again is like a nightmare to me
