Our Dreams
raekwon & ghostface killah & Method Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No matter how hard, the task may seem
Don't give up our plans, don't give up our dreams
No broken bridges, can turn us around
Cause what we're searchin' for, will soon be found
Aiyo, listen here, shorty, Camay glow
You know we both make angels when we lay in the snow
Cause Toney, can't be out there pushing that blow
You made plans and dreams, not grands of schemes
I wanna search for the meaning of love, see what it means
Cause we hustle so hard, cross so many bridges
Made babies, took trips to the mall, for family pictures
And our souls is magnetic, we the meaning of destiny
Be that banker of trust that looks to invest in me
Together, to get her, means for me to get you
We back, reunite like the Wu
See we soul mates, we melt like cookies and cream
And I fiend for the days and the nights to sex my queen
So no matter how hard it seems, dreams come true
Keep Allah in our hearts, hugs and kisses, Toney Starks
[Chorus]
Uh, still applying the pain
The purple frying my brain, this woman's crying again
She, tired of fighting, my feelings likely the same
That's what happens when you wife 'em and they try to tighten the chain
See, she in the right, so I put her right in her lane
I'm all night with the pipe, I can feel her biting my chain
She, got her own, I ain't gotta buy her a thang
I be burning up the sheets every time I'm lighting the game
We, go together like, Martin and Gina, but
She get uptight when we fight like Ike and Tina, so
Love her or leave her alone, like I ain't need her tho
A minute later I'm back, like I ain't mean it, yo
We break up, just to make up, she fly without the makeup
Together we upgrade to A plus
So all this bickering ain't us, we bigger than that
You normally cool when I'm digging your back, now fall back, baby
[Chorus]
Shorty with the flavor like Breyer's, real sweet with your thick legs
Look like you drink eggs, you lying
Now you met a teflon don, stay high, Levi's on
Wire cell frames, no games
I'm into cashing in, getting this paper, buying up acres
Ride around, and yo, fuck with my neighbors
Pocket full of hundreds and weed, light the Philly cigar up
And go dolo, riding through SoHo
You hear the little baby in the back? That's the sound of sweet life
A sweet wiz'll make you a sweet night
And chill with the pawns we on, cuz life is a chessboard
You better have you sword and vest on
Never hate your enemies, cuz it effects judgment
They only hate it if they know you getting hella cheese
That's what it is, what it do for you
Don't let the truth bore you, word up, don't let the roof spoil
[Chorus]
The song "Our Dreams" by Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and Method Man shows the rappers reflecting on their past struggles and the dreams they had that kept them going in difficult times.

We believe in keeping our faith and love for each other strong
Uh, still applying the pain
We're still working hard even though it's painful
The purple frying my brain, this woman's crying again
Drugs are affecting my mind and my partner is upset
She, tired of fighting, my feelings likely the same
Both of us are tired of fighting and arguing
That's what happens when you wife 'em and they try to tighten the chain
That's what happens when you marry someone and they try to control you
See, she in the right, so I put her right in her lane
She's correct, so I agree with her and don't argue
I'm all night with the pipe, I can feel her biting my chain
We're intimate all night and she's biting my chain
She, got her own, I ain't gotta buy her a thang
She's independent, so I don't need to buy her gifts
I be burning up the sheets every time I'm lighting the game
We have passionate sex every time we're intimate
We, go together like, Martin and Gina, but
We're like Martin and Gina in the TV show, they go together well
She get uptight when we fight like Ike and Tina, so
She gets upset and angry like when Ike and Tina Turner fought
Love her or leave her alone, like I ain't need her tho
Either love her or leave her alone, as I don't absolutely need her
A minute later I'm back, like I ain't mean it, yo
I come back and apologize to her, acting like I didn't mean to upset her
We break up, just to make up, she fly without the makeup
We have arguments but reconcile, and she looks beautiful with or without makeup
Together we upgrade to A plus
We improve our lives together
So all this bickering ain’t us, we bigger than that
We're more significant than petty arguments
You normally cool when I’m digging your back, now fall back, baby
You're usually relaxed when I'm massaging you, so calm down now, baby
Shorty with the flavor like Breyer's, real sweet with your thick legs
My partner is sweet and has a good taste like Breyer's ice cream, with attractive, thick legs
Look like you drink eggs, you lying
You have curves, implying that you eat a lot, but it's probably not true
Now you met a teflon don, stay high, Levi’s on
Now you're with a tough, fearless man, wearing Levi's jeans
Wire cell frames, no games
Wearing wire glasses without pretending
I’m into cashing in, getting this paper, buying up acres
I'm focused on earning money and investing in land
Ride around, and yo, fuck with my neighbors
I roam around and don't care about what my neighbors think
Pocket full of hundreds and weed, light the Philly cigar up
I have lots of cash and weed, smoking a Philly cigar
And go dolo, riding through SoHo
I go alone, riding through SoHo
You hear the little baby in the back? That’s the sound of sweet life
Can you hear the baby in the back? That's the sound of a happy life
A sweet wiz'll make you a sweet night
Smoking marijuana will make for a good night
And chill with the pawns we on, cuz life is a chessboard
We hang out with low-tier people, because we see life like a chess game
You better have you sword and vest on
Be well-equipped and prepared
Never hate your enemies, cuz it effects judgment
Don't hate your enemies as it affects your ability to judge things objectively
They only hate it if they know you getting hella cheese
They only hate you if they know you're earning a lot of money
That's what it is, what it do for you
That's the situation and how it affects you
Don't let the truth bore you, word up, don't let the roof spoil
Don't let the truth seem dull and boring, don't let your dreams fade away
[Chorus]
Repeating the chorus from the beginning
