Artist: Oddisee Album: The Beauty In All Song: Tangible Dream Typed by: @Oddisee I got dreams of being a rich nigga a wealthy man is to grand to fit in the big picture & being broke ain't even in the scope, so what's the plan I started thinking like really though, what does money get you a lot of flights & a lot of nights with some loose women a lot of hype is it really worth it, the truth's pending & I ain't waiting until the verdict is out I'm trying to be what I heard I'm about & that's me that's something you don't see because fronting is what we are used to well guess I'm out this mother fucker looking like the future black man in Norway it's not another prejudice while you can had your preference I'ma be black all day I'ma be out on Broadway with hands full of bags & can't get a fucking cab though the color of my cash is the same green as yours am I angry of course but can't nothing detained me from my cause This is a tangible dream they try to tell you that it's not but that's apart of the scheme My old soul remains forever young i've done it all & still I'm doing shit that I a'int ever done & that depends on your definition of winning I ain't start it from the bottom I started from the beginning born up in uptown, PG is where I lived slept in a dresser draw when we couldn't afford a crib parents got a divorce my father got him a biz my mother remained poor & I was caught in the mix now I'm eating fried chicken while talking bout philosophy debate the economy while clogging up my arteries I'm ghetto bouchee nigga so all that shit is apart of me gave a nigga an inch when all I want is yard see poverty under palm trees chilling near a grave & the grove is with arms reach but thanks to gravity apples is on the ground & I use my GPS for the scrounge show what I already found So what are you bitching about niggas want to ball with the players & mad they sitting out I mean at least you have a chair yet you stand for nothing you'll fall for anything focused on never missing out You know it's fall, I got the layers all sticking out wax cotton on the jacket like I'm rabbit hunting gentry, on a bike passing your Bentley cycling with a broad while your passenger seat is empty lord, she say I'm different I take her to do nice things please move your vehicle out of the fucking bike lane ain't nothing worse than being dissed by a smug nigga I have fun with you non-articulate thug niggas my sarcasm is waisted in conversations I say shit see the delay & then all I get is a what nigga friends of mine stay mad that they never made it the saddest state of affairs cause they haven't covered the basics go on a couple tours, sleep on a couple floors when the floors ain't available van seats galore transform your biggest haters in to supporters then have some of your supporters debate you like you in office lets make it a little awkward mix your personal with business that shit done turned angels into witches I done witnessed see, where ever you run the drama will come to visit but if it never feels like drama then you get it
