Real Hip Hop

I got big dreams, I mean big like Andre the Giant dreams! My dream is own enough property that my whole family (Yes all of my Grandmas fourteen children and their seeds) can live comfortably. I dream of owning land in Africa. I dream of having front row season tickets for Trailblazers games. I dream of opening a charter school for young men who come from fatherless homes. I dream of having a son who grows up to be a man of character, and conviction. I dream of having a daughter who grows up to become a beacon of strength for women all over the world, and I dream of having a wife who has dreams of her own but will help me achieve mine as I do the same for her. So what’s your dreams? Do you have at least one? Or has this treacherous life taught you that dreaming is for fools? I know how it is when your dreams seem so far away that looking for them strain your eyes and hurt your soul. I know what it feels like when people ridicule you for “being a dreamer” but through all the madness I kept my dreams in my thoughts and through all the hatred I keep my dreams in my heart. Don’t let this simple world trick you into letting go of your dreams, don’t let these sour people trick you into forsaking your dreams to be a part of their hopeless click. Yes you may suffer mightily for being a dreamer, but if you don’t dream and work to make your dreams come true so that this world will be a better place who will? “A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.” (Oscar Wilde) To all my dreamers out there keep dreaming. Keep challenging the status quo, and keep wanting more than what we got right now. You never know what your dream or the pursuit of your dream can do for the people around you. Where would we be if the Quakers didn’t have a dream of abolishing slavery? Where would we be if Harriet Tubman didn’t have a dream of a better existence for her people, and where would we be if Martin Luther King Jr didn't have a dream? Drake an artist based out of Toronto Canada talks about achieving his dreams and the happiness it brings him on the track Closer To My Dreams. He speaks of the fulfillment he receives from coming closer to his dreams , and the fire that still burns in his sole for the pursuit of more.

Free your mind and the rest will follow, Big Bob

Mr. Big Dreams no tolerant
Cut you at the house of ? since
Get bored quickly
He stay blowed
So the p-a-trón 'bout to get poured quickly
Ex girl strippin, I can't stop her
New girl trippin but I can't drop her
Cuz I need somethin to balance out the fact
That it's hard to find a woman when you're talented and black
When you hollerin at labels
And they silencing you back
Cuz you fail to thoroughly discuss a violence on ya track
Well, gunshots for the young yacht owner
Seen as everybody else, seen as one top loner
First place is often the worst place
But fuck it I love it here I call it my birthplace
Whenever I walk in they makin the worst face
Surrounded by Phillipinos I think is the worst case
? green diamonds I call it the earth days
I get in ya cake I tell u how your dessert taste
I get a dessert plate, yall eat pedigree as a meal
I been Urkel for some years
It's better being Jaleel
Though I rock, lean, snap
It's better bein as real
It's better drivin a car with the letter B in the wheel
Seat back, light sayin Tank on E
I got the drank on me
You can bank on me
To be the one and only nigga dat you ain' gon see
In the club wit da models spillin drinks on me
Nawh, gimme 20 and a tank on three
I'm in the Range bumpin Keyshia Cole singin off-key like (wuhhh)
And I'ma spare yall, why you wanna judge me?
I don't neva compare yall
The city is mine
I know it cuz I'm there yall
It ain't even started I'm really tryna prepare yall
Drake '07, second quarter I'm droppin
Do it without a label, man I'm committed and poppin
Take ova da summer, tour to tour hoppin
I'ma meet a lot a women, I'ma do a lot of shoppin
Really no other option
Spend a lot a money just to make it back
Anybody I diss in a song I don't take it back
Same rappers that's all in your face sayin Drake is whack
But checkin my availability just to make a track
Uh, I promise momma, I'ma do it cuz I kno I put you through it
I know I put you through it baby
And I just want you to sit around wit ya friends at a dinner table
And say my baby's famous and i knew it
And it wasn't nuttin to it
I've drew ? til da pen run out of fluid
