She was only 17 when she left home heading of to college
Just the clothes on the back 40 dollars in the pocket
On the couch of a one bedroom apartment
Roommate trynna get her to pop her pussy for dollars
He was only 13 just a lookout on the corner
He started of small couple pills and marihuana
Now he's thinking he should go out on the block
And see if he can get shit poppin'
He was tired of going in for just a little bit of profitShe fell in love with the ballers and bottles
He fell in love with the block and the Glock
Now he totin the choppers
Why does it seem like nobody want to be lawyers or doctors
Now a days everybody out there trynna be dealers and models
Just a thoughtI guess that's how it goes
When it's all you know
And you ain't a dreamer
And you ain't a dreamer
I guess that's how it be
When it's all you see
And you ain't a dreamer
And you ain't a dreamerNow you can find her on a Wednesday
Trickin' and twerking and working so hard for them singles
24 how to get naked
Money she see for the takin'
She gonna take it
Been dancing so long she don't now when she'll be graduatin'
Friends trynna tell her she trippin'
She telling them to stop hatin'
3 years later for he grows into a men
Got a pocket full of money 9mili in his hand
Momma prayin' tryin' make him understand
That they just wanna put him in the system
It's to late now he convictedShe fell in love with the ballers and bottles
He fell in love with the block and the Glock
Now he totin the choppers
Why does it seem like nobody want to be lawyers or doctors
Now a days everybody out there trynna be dealers and models
Just a thoughtI guess that's how it goes
When it's all you know
And you ain't a dreamer
And you ain't a dreamer
I guess that's how it be
When it's all you see
And you ain't a dreamer
And you ain't a dreamerShe never dreamt about going to college
Choosing her major
Getting some knowledge
He never dreamt about living for something
All that he knew was he was tired of the struggle
She never knew that
She'd ever do that
Now she addicted to the money and the new bags
And now he wish that
He could get back
All the time he lost
Now he pays the costShe fell in love with the ballers and bottles
He fell in love with the block and the Glock
Now he totin the choppers
Why does it seem like nobody want to be lawyers or doctors
Now a days everybody out there trynna be dealers and models
Just a thoughtI guess that's how it goes
When it's all you know
And you ain't a dreamer
And you ain't a dreamer
I guess that's how it be
When it's all you see
And you ain't a dreamer
And you ain't a dreamer
