Letra Dreamer August Alsina

Dreamer

She was only 17 when she left home heading off to college
Just the clothes on the back, 40 dollars in the pocket
On the couch of a one bedroom apartment
Room-mate tryna get her to pop her pussy for dollars
He was only 13, just a lookout on the corner
First he started of small, couple pills and marijuana
Now he's thinking he should go out on the block and see if he can get shit popping
He was tired of going in for just a little bit of profit, damn

She fell in love with the ballers and bottles
He fell in love with the block and the Glock, now he toting them choppers
Why does it seem like nobody else wanna be lawyers or doctors?
Nowadays everybody outchea tryna be dealers and models, just a thought

I guess that's how it goes when it's all you know
And you ain't a dreamer and you ain't a dreamer
I guess that's how it be when it's all you see
And you ain't a dreamer and you ain't a dreamer

Now you can find her on a Wednesday tricking and twerking and working so hard for them singles
24 how to get naked, money she see for the taking, she gonna take it
Been dancing so long she don't now when she'll be graduating
Friends tryna tell her she tripping, she telling them to stop hating
3 years later 'fore he grows into a man
Got a pocket full of money, 9 mili in his hand
Momma praying, tryna make him understand
That they just wanna put him in the system, it's too late now he convicted, damn

She fell in love with the ballers and bottles
He fell in love with the block and the Glock, now he toting them choppers
Why does it seem like nobody else wanna be lawyers or doctors?
Nowadays everybody outchea tryna be dealers and models, just a thought

I guess that's how it goes when it's all you know
And you ain't a dreamer and you ain't a dreamer
I guess that's how it be when it's all you see
And you ain't a dreamer and you ain't a dreamer

She never dreamt about going to college
Choosing her major, getting some knowledge
He never dreamt about living for something
All that he knew was he was tired of the struggle
She never knew that, she'd ever do that
Now she addicted to the money and the new bags
And now he wish that, wish he could get back
All the time he lost, now he pays the cost

She fell in love with the ballers and bottles
He fell in love with the block and the Glock, now he toting them choppers
Why does it seem like nobody else wanna be lawyers or doctors?
Nowadays everybody outchea tryna be dealers and models, just a thought

I guess that's how it goes when it's all you know
And you ain't a dreamer and you ain't a dreamer
I guess that's how it be when it's all you see
And you ain't a dreamer and you ain't a dreamer
