Dreamin

Olds school flow,

Yo, yo, yo, yo

They used to say

They used to say

This rap shit

They used to say (He's dreamin)

They used to say (He's dreamin)

This rap shit (is not for real)

This rap shit (is not for real)

They used to say (He's dreamin)

They used to say (He's dreamin)

This rap shit (is not for real)

This rap shit (is not for real)

[Verse 1: Big K.R.I.T]

Yeah I remember it so clearly

Rappin' to my pop about the cars and the clothes

Shrimp and the lobster that I heard about

Like word of mouth

The UGK tape and Scarface will turn ya out

I was like 13 thirsting for a good beat

Scoping for a studio talkin' bout I spit heat

Like Ball & G, on that pimp type shit

36 had me crunk on that late night tip

[Hook:]

They say (He's dreamin)

They used to say (He's dreamin)

This rap shit (is not for real)

This rap shit (is not for real)

They used to say (He's dreamin)

They used to say (He's dreamin)

This rap shit (is not for real)

This rap shit (is not for real)

[Verse 2: Big K.R.I.T]

I played ball for a minute, did I mention wasn't in it

Writing rhymes on my glove so I will never forget em

Had to quit it, didn't feel it back in high school

Rather write poems, known for flowing, that's what I do

Couldn't be little Zac forever, peace to my big brother

Follow ya dreams baby, that's word to my grandmother

When I hear the streets tappin', my beats kickin' my flow

I overhear the same shit they always say before (he's dreaming)

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Big K.R.I.T]

I told them call me KRIT, they told me change my name

Don't be alarmed if you don't make it, that's just part of the game

Besides I ain't rapping about dope nor did I sell it

I guess the story of a country boy just ain't compelling

A&R's searching for a hit, I just need a meal

Couldn't afford to pay the rent, but passed up on the deal

Cause, it wasn't right sometimes you gotta wade the storm

In a class of my own, but I was scared to raise my arm

Like, this my dream, this my life, I sacrificed it all

Except my soul in the firm belief there is a God

Watching out, when all the others used to doubt

Felt my pain and pointed down and said "Son, your time is now"

I think my grandma pulled some strings on the low

That's between her and the lord I'll ever know

For those that caught me in the Spin, in Complex magazine, XXL, the Vibe and whatever inbetween

It's safe to say that dreams come true I guess

Don't let nobody tell ya, try for yourself

Just know that I was once considered just a dreamer

But I paid my dues and turned so many doubters to believers

They used to say

They used to say

They used to say

They used to say

He's dreamin, he's dreamin, it's not for real, it's not for real

He's dreamin, he's dreamin, it's not for real, it's not for real

I don't care if it is a dream, I've got to believe in something I love

What can I do, what have I got to lose

You know sometimes dreams do come true

Might as well be a dream, dream, dream
