I used to dream every night,
Verse 1
now I never dream at all
Am
I'm hopin' that it's 'cause
I'm livin' everythin' I want
A
I used to wake up in a bed between
my mom and aunt
Playin' with this Land Before
Am
Time toy from Pizza Hut
A
My dad works nights,
Am
puttin' on a stone face
He's savin' up so we
can get our own place
A
In the projects,
man that sounds fancy to me
Am
They called me "fat nose," my mom say,
"You handsome to me"
A
Mrs. Glover ma'am,
your son is so advanced
But he's actin' up in class and
Am
keeps peein' in his pants
A
And I just wanna fit in,
but nobody was helpin' me out
Am
They talkin' hood shit and I ain't know
what that was about
A
'Cause hood shit and black
shit is super different
So I'm talkin' hood shit and cool
Am
it now like New Edition
A
Mom and dad wouldn't listen
They left the Bronx so I wouldn't
be that
Am
All their friends in NY deal crack
It's weird,
G
you think that they'd be proud of 'em
But when you leave the hood
They think that you look down on 'em
Am
The truth is we still struggle
on a different plane
G
Seven dollars an hour, WIC vouchers,
it's all the same
F
Facebook messagin' hopin' that
G
could patch up shit
But all they get now is, "Can

A
Dad lost his job,

Am
Gun pulled in her face,

A
"Donald watch the meter so they

Am
Workin' two jobs so I can get
A
into that white school
And I hate it there
They all make fun of my clothes
Am
and wanna touch my hair
And my uncle on that stuff
A
that got my grandma shook
Drug dealers roughed him up and stole
his address book
Am
He's supposed to pay 'em back
A
He owe 'em money but
his bank account is zero
So my momma made us sleep
Am
with Phillips heads under the pillow
A
Like that would do somethin'
But she's got six kids,
Am
she's gotta do somethin'
A
She don't want me in a lifestyle
like my cousin
And he mad 'cause
his father ain't around
Am
He lookin' at me now, like
A
"Why you so fuckin' lucky?
I had a father too
But he ain't around so I'ma take
Am
it out on you"
We used to say,
E
"I love you," now we only think that shit
G
It feels weird that you're the person
Am
I took sink baths with
Street took you over, I want my cousin back
G
The world sayin' what you are
Because you're young and black,
don't believe 'em
You're still that kid who kept
the older boys
From teasin', for some reason
