Lyrics
Twenty years Twenty years ago fir... Man I've been at this for twenty years Twenty years ago first show I was twenty years old, time flies, I don't know where it goes Pull up bumpin' Jay through the speakers of a hoopty Now it's barricades and black SUVs Time flies when you're miserable First album was a CD now everything's digital Can't believe I lived through everything I've been through House filled with black dudes, I slept in the living room Late night studio, rappin' in the basement Missed out on my son as a kid, didn't raise him Caught a few cases, got locked up in state pen I remember Tamen was eight then I was poor sleepin' on the floor It's depressin' I knew I wanted more I guess it was a blessing Now I'm writing album number four in the West Wing Did a bunch of tours, I can afford the best things I went from broke as a joke to rich as it gets I went from dead beat dad to raisin' my kid I went from hell in a cell to be able to live I went from poor to wealth and I hate this Dollar and a dream it ain't always what it seems So be careful what you wish for Dollar and a dream it ain't always what it seems Careful what you wish for Life long friends that'll stab you in the back They're the first ones that'll ask for some cash I can't even talk to my dad without his hand out I was least likely to succeed, I'm the man now Ten cars in the pole barn I don't even drive Four wheelers, dirt bikes I don't even ride I just sit in this chair, blank stare, look outside That's a hell of a price to pay for this life Mater fact you know I been to hell and back twice Angel stuck by my side that I shoulda made my wife But I spend my time online lookin' at pictures of Instagram models That's my addiction Fly 'em out, give 'em money, this ain't free Stay up all night, lose sleep Get what I need, it's a disease You ain't payin' 'em to stay, you're payin' 'em to leave, leave Dollar and a dream it ain't always what it seems Be careful what you wish for Dollar and a dream it ain't always what it seems Be careful what you wish for All I see is unfamiliar faces Did my song "Racism" thought I wouldn't say it On tour California called me racist Boycotted shows, tried to keep me off stages I just keep my middle finger in the air I'm the reason that I'm here, are we clear? You're in the rearview, I can't even hear you Double what I did in year one and year two So here's to never bein' satisfied Always feelin' sad inside Tell me who's down to ride Feelin' like a homicide Always gonna speak my mind, at least I tell the truth Tell me why you always lie I'm done man, I'm not good with this sad rap That's just how I feel It's like a dollar and a dream it ain't always what it seems It's like a dollar and a dream it ain't always what it seems Be careful what you wish for
