Shattered Dreams (feat. Sleepy Brown)

Lyrics for Shattered Dreams (feat. Sleepy Brown)

Uhhhh, dedicated to all the underdogs, know what I'm talkin' 'bout? Motherfuckers told me I wasn't gon' be shit Told me I wasn't gon' be able to do this rap shit Know what I'm talkin' 'bout? My own family talked down on me, know what I'm sayin'? Mothafucka told me I wasn't gon' be shit I used to walk around with a bag full of raps Motherfuckers told me a nigga from Texas couldn't make no records Then after I made the record, motherfuckers Said they would never give us no respect But now they tryin' to rap like us Tryin' to be like us Tryin' to smell like us, know what I'm talkin' 'bout? Check this out Man I refuse to let these bitches take away my pride Them hoes can lock my body up, but they can't lock my mind See I'm a young street flame, I got them fire eyes I mean the eyes of fire, the tiger, the black pride I call some women bitches and I call some women whores A bitch a dirty boy, a hoe open up the pussy store Now what's the difference between the two? Man I just told you that But that don't mean that every woman I know is down with that If you a bitch and wanna switch, it ain't too late to change It's all about how you carry yourself and how you handle thangs Some say that hoes and pimps is born, I don't believe that shit Cause anytime you wanna stop, it ain't too late to quit Just cause you sold your body don't mean you a hoe for life I got to speak it right for all the ones that paid the price But if you in it to win it, go 'head and live the life But baby if you ain't in it, you still can do it right To all the babies havin' babies on your own I know you feelin' fucked up and feelin' all alone I know your people tellin' you you fucked up your life You only fucked up if you lay down and don't continue to fight, uhh And to the young nigga out there tryin' to sell dope I know your family fucked up and this your last rope In your heart I know you're cold with this rhyme shit But ain't nothin' happenin' but this twenties and this dime shit And you the daddy with lil' mama that's 'bout to have the baby You want her on your team but niggas tellin' you you're crazy Plus you're thinkin' you're too young to have a family But all the moves you make, it look like you a man to me When you get caught up, man them niggas ain't gon' ride with ya But get down with that girl and she gon' keep it live with ya Plus she gon' help you put your money up and save somethin' Cause right now you runnin' through it thinkin' you ain't made nothin' It's time to change somethin' If you a ball player, man go 'head and play ball Don't let nobody steal your dream if you ain't came to fall I know they sayin' ain't enough room in the NBA You tell them haters save that bullshit for another day If you a singer, lil' mama go 'head and sing your song Them hoes say you ain't gon' make it, them funky bitches wrong You ain't got to get butt naked on stage in a thong To sell your records and show the people you got it goin' on I see a whole lot of motherfuckers come and go I know young niggas sold they soul for the dirty dough You wanna rap, I understand, go 'head and chase your dream But chase too hard, get up to lordy, end up like a fiend Some people gay, what can I say? The only judge is God But don't be 'shamed and try to hide, cause then you're livin' fraud Cause everything done in the dark gon' come to the light So do your thing cause can't no man tell you what's wrong or right Right, right, right, right So do your thing cause can't no man tell you what's wrong or right
