ghetto geppetto - shayjtoday lyrics
(verse 1)
he was just a kid with a dream
but no body believed
i put my art in these pages but they ain’t
feelin my artistry
emotions is lacking in these days so its
hard to see
my life in these verses
every word is a part of me
but they can’t see
vacancies is the reason they disbelieve
but in his heart and mind is where the dreams lie latently
creating reality from what you thought was make believe
from turning the make-believers to people who may believe
the kid with a dream
(chorus)
he was just a kid with a dream
he was just a kid with a dream
n-body believed
but he was just a kid with a dream
(verse 2)
he was just a kid with a dream
in the hood he was relegated
where n-gg-s diss n-gg-s
just because you speak educated
too nerdy for real n-gg-s to real for the nerds
so respect only came from those who can see through the blurs
had a way with the words
but n-body concurred
so he used nouns and verbs
to write the pain that occurred
and the struggles he seen
just a miniature teen
painting a ghetto picture of
what was yet to be seen
just a kid with a dream
born in a pot to p-ss in
with visions of optimism
a sh-t was never known to be given
no heavens in the ghetto for creations of geppetto
ash risen a phoenix still rises out of that meadow
of broken gl-ss bullet holes liquor stores now-and-laters
condom wrappers full of future
cocaine, crack vapors
fresh j’s cadillacs
6-4’s get the paper
it’s hard to be greater when he was only just a kid with a dream
(chorus)
he was just a kid with a dream
he was just a kid with a dream
n-body believed
but he was just a kid with a dream
(verse 3)
is it me /is it me
or is it that i feel i’m getting closer to my dreams that i believe
bound to take over the world like monopoly
slowly turning my visions to self made prophecies
feel it in my spirit that this rap is where i’m bound to be
lacking sleep
and i’m working so hard that i forget to eat
i care less about the money and the fame
i just wanna make sure that my family’s staight before
i reach heaven’s gates
send me a plate of wings
cornbread, rice, and alice rolle’s baked beans – unh
soul food – i need it where i’m goin
if i hit the mainstream i know the water’s barely flowing
plus it tainted – similar to love on false pretenses
even the smallest sip could leave a n-gg- senseless
we all sin but i’m just tryna trandscend dimensions
reaching my zen through my purest extensions
in my dreams
(chorus) (4x)
he was just a kid with a dream
he was just a kid with a dream
n-body believed
but he was just a kid with a dream
you got dreams, you got dreams (6x)
if you got dreams go out and get it
cause if you won’t sh-t i’m with it
let’s get it
