bodega breams - joey jester lyrics

(verse 1)

from plantains to five star dishes
from cheap guppies to exotic fishes
i been seeing my visions, for a long time now
i don’t even wish no more, cuz its all mine now

from harlem to hollywood
cali to bollywood
mama told me that i could
just gotta show em whats good

always been misunderstood
is he a leader or a follower ?
is he too brave or a new slave?
i got my green eyes on tuesday and she riding w me
got $overeign$ on the side and they riding with me
who gon die for me, when im tryna take a risk
who gon lie for me, when the cops tryna frisk

seeing thugs on the block, getting backwoods from the ock
plotting out they dreams, but are they ready for the climax
bodega breams, its just nothing but facts
bodega breams, its just nothing but stacks

i want my million dollar check
and million dollar respect
hit the streets or the books
thats the nerds, thats the crooks
thats either working thru college
or you working off the books
you either get ya hand shook
or you get ya money took

(hook)

for the whites, its the american dream
for latinos, its bodega breams
i say it loud, i say it proud
i got bodega breams
i got bodega breams

(verse 2)

went to a school in a factory
they told us to switch machines
9-5 shift, left me with fatigue
you only got four choices when you get out
go to college, drop out
go to jail, cops out
get a kid, daddy out
head to war, guns out
you can scream, you can shout
but its gonna add amount
to the stress, you feeling now
all the hard work for nothing
just to have a convo with ya deadbeat cousin
on how you thought you was gonna be something
you had thoughts in my head, but now you dream of nothing
these bodega breams, ain’t what it seems
you out here working for yourself or you do it with ya team

(verse 3)

my life’s a complex
running circles, got me nauseous
im a product, while ya other clones multiply
hustlers working projects in the projects
baby mama of 4, struggling, needs a little profit
push a little weight, you gon feel it on ya shoulders
play with fate as a youngin and you gon feel older
nights in 04, led to fights at 04 in the morning
crack of dawning, why we brawlin?
we tryna eat together, but we can’t share a plate
then you lie to ya guy, thats an eye for an eye
had my back like a m-sseuse, now you calling for a truce
whats the point?
we gonna end up being stuck in the same joint
cuz i made a sacrifice
which was a stupid -ss decision
do i give up my ambition?
do i forfeit to religion?
i told myself to stay safe, keep ya head straight
we was on the same team, but you got me on checkmate
i see how it is
the dreams get smaller, when you realize that you ain’t a kid no more
living life robbing others, but its time we took the mask off
to show our true colors
we was blood brothers but it was all said and done
when i had you on the floor and i shot you with ya own gun
