Dollar And A Dream (feat. AB Soul) (Explicit) - The Game/Ab Soul

They say it started in the east where the apple was

But out west we be throwing them apples up

They say them fruit town niggas gon' ride tonight

They say them tree top niggas gon' ride tonight

They say them grape street niggas gon' ride tonight

They say them bounty hunter niggas gon' ride tonight

They say them 60 niggas gon' ride tonight

They say them cedar block niggas gon' ride tonight

Them 190 niggas gon' ride tonight

They say them timberland niggas gon' ride tonight

They say them campanella niggas gon' ride tonight

Who gon' ride tonight who gon' die tonight

Started with a dollar and a dream

Started with a dollar and a dream

We did it for the west motherf**ker like kanye

Niggas get stretched out on la cienega

Got three thousand stacks I ain't talking 'bout andre

I put it on your head I ain't talking no toupee

See I stayed the same ain't go weird like lupe

Squeeze on this trigger like ain't no more toothpaste

You ain't gon' do sh*t b**ch of course I is

You want this money you gon' have to drive the course I did

I got that weight foundry talking 'bout the porsche out here

You in the nosebleeds come down to where the courtside is

How a ni**a with a rojo rag end up in soho

Bag any b**ch walking with a solo swag

You think you ballin' in that four do' jag nah

In tom fords with a mk bag nah

Give you a bird's eye view of the streets

Ni**a welcome to compton take you to carson next week

Ab soul

Started with a dollar and a dream and a pistol

On the corner rag hangin' slangin' crystal

I said you gangbanging let me see credentials

And when I pull this gun out you know how this go

Started with a dollar and a dream

Look at me now look at me now

Started with a dollar and a dream

I was fathered by the bastards

Pardon my mannerisms

The curtiss magnet that managed without the metal with him

How the hell I did it I let god ad lib it

I put that on leetwood I ain't lying one sentence

B**ch I started with a dollar and a dream

We went from helping old ladies with their groceries at alpha beta

For a couple quarters to a baby hustling something major

We had to grow up sooner or later but

I'm so del amo my mama still stay off anna lee

Carson across my belly I prove you lost already

Roccett my big brother bishop let the door crack

Game took me on my first tour now look where we at

In the studio getting paid to reflect on that

Documenting true facts

Not to mention this the documentary 2 too

You do the addition in ballerina shoes

Enough with the clever raps it s more important than that

I put my city on the map ni**a

Yeah I really put my city on the map

I mean when the last time you heard carson on the track ni**a

Let alone when they calling out stomping grounds on the west

I'll wait

Yeah that's what I thought I'm the best ni**a

This the new west ni**a respect that

It's top dawg all I'm missing is the red hat

But don't question what pocket I had left my handkerchief

I'm guilty by affiliation in many ways gangsta

But let me explain something a paradox if you may

I threw all on fresh supreme chuck taylors today

And then I got a call from chuck taylor I'm saying

The game ain't changed we still changing the game

Started with a dollar and a dream and a pistol

On the corner rag hangin' slangin' crystal

I said you gangbanging let me see credentials

And when I pull this gun out you know how this go

Started with a dollar and a dream

Look at me now look at me now

Started with a dollar and a dream

My first album was a set up

I was the little ni**a pac was talking to

When he said keep your head up

Cause he knew what I would be facing after his demise

Jayceon had to pitch them pies better life than flipping fries

I'm the one the crips despise

Move the yay or kiss the sky for having dreams that 50 died

Eulogy by mary blige

Hopped up in that enterprise had to stop a genocide

Went from underdog to watching top dawg and kendrick rise

Now tell me can I testify pull over trying to rest for 5

On a block no tint on the wraith left these kids mesmerized

They ask me how I did it how I got it

Say I'm king you looking brolic

I put them weights down start practicing lyrical exercise

Tell me who the next to die probably who the next in line

They got me battling ghost cause I'm the illest one alive

That's word to pac pun biggie why I stand as my city

It's wise to run a train you couldn't f**k with me

Ever since I saved my coast it's been born again

If I ain't sh*t then who the king of california then

Who could out rap me

Now think about if the same ni**a you bout to say can run up

And out strap me yeah

Out trap me yeah out gat me

I mean think about it exactly

Speaking matter of factly I'm down playing that actually

Call me game I ain't one still I get paid like an athlete

Do the math after the math doc two in the bag

Lived up to expectations dre took me first in the draft

Now who the f**k want what

Nobody survives so look alive when them impalas in the cut

Started with a dollar and a dream and a pistol

On the corner rag hangin' slangin' crystal

I said you gangbanging let me see credentials

And when I pull this gun out you know how this go

Started with a dollar and a dream

Look at me now look at me now

Started with a dollar and a dream
