dream big - abscaand lyrics

[verse 1: abscaand]
i’m a product of the 90’s, hip-hop was an afterthought
i was too into rock to worry about which rapper got shot
’till i heard eminem, it’s like my world stopped
and through eminem, i met him, kxng crooked
then i listened to hip-hop weekly and was astonished
all my previous rockstar plans were demolished
this new artist inspired me to polish my sk!lls
regardless of the road blocks, i was determined to become a boss
cause i was tired of clocking into a 9 to 5
i was made to spit rhymes and rock stages
coming from a place where dreaming is outrageous
it seemed i would not make it
all i wanted was an end to police brutality
like the black panther party before they got infiltrated
by cointelpro, if you didn’t know
which has ties to the fbi
so, if you see me sitting down for the pledge of allegiance, that’s why
these are the same people that cause mlk junior to die
and you want me to put my life on the line as a soldier? nah
they’ve been k!lling us ever since we came over in boats
we’ve been stabbed, beaten, shot, choked
put in prison, had dogs sicked on us, and sprayed with a fire hose
all to be treated as equals, in a world that’s so cold
we as a people demand reparations from a nation so cruel
i never got my 40 acres and a mule
give us our gold back, we deserve to rule
we built this country from the ground up, so how dare you
make us work these minimum wage jobs, we slave hard
my dad is pushing 70, might have to work ’till he’s gone
but the spirit of that brilliant man will live on, inside of me
am i capable of turning the tables? probably
i’ll charge you and your daughter for a sweet 16
this new talent will certainly turn the tables of fate
i hope so, for my family’s sake
every day that i wake, i think about the time that i wasted
so close, i can taste it, but i’m stuck in the matrix
but i’m the chosen one, i’m ‘sposed to come
give hip-hop a prostetic leg so i can run the game
people smile in your face like the o’jays
even if i come into money, i won’t change
i’ll use it to elevate my team
i’ve got lofty goals like locksmith, that seems to be the case
found something i’m good at, i’ll use it in the best way
let’s say i release one of my closest friends from the chains of debt
while uplifting the culture and gaining respect, yes
that’s the kind of life that i want to live
helping my community and feeding the kids
then, look back on all of the good things that i did
so, if my wife tells me that her water that broke like richard nixon, i won’t trip
cause it is what it is
by that time, i’ll have enough money for me to be able to feed my kids
without having to worry about getting six jobs
swear, sometimes, life is hard
