Tangible Dream - Oddisee[00:00:00]
I got dreams of being a rich ni**a[00:00:24]
A wealthy man is too grand to fit in the big picture[00:00:26]
And being broke ain't even in the scope[00:00:29]
So what's the plan [00:00:31]
I started thinking like really though [00:00:32]
What does money get ya [00:00:33]
A lot of flights and a lot of nights[00:00:34]
With some loose women[00:00:36]
A lot of hype is it really worth it [00:00:37]
The truth's pending[00:00:39]
And I ain't waiting until the verdict is out[00:00:40]
I'm trying to be just what I heard I'm about[00:00:42]
And that's me[00:00:44]
That's something you don't see[00:00:45]
Cause fronting is what we are use to[00:00:47]
Well guess I'm out this mother f**ker looking like the future[00:00:48]
A black man in Norway[00:00:51]
Not another prejudice [00:00:53]
While you can have your preference[00:00:54]
I'ma be black all day[00:00:55]
I'ma be out on Broadway[00:00:57]
Hands full of bags can't get a f**king cab[00:00:59]
Though the color of my cash is the same green as yours[00:01:01]
Am I angry of course[00:01:04]
Ain't nothing detained me from my cause[00:01:05]
And that is[00:01:08]
See this is a tangible dream[00:01:09]
Try tell me that[00:01:11]
It's not and that's apart of the scheme[00:01:12]
I can get it yeah I can get it yeah[00:01:14]
I can get it yeah you know I'm with it yeah[00:01:17]
See this is a tangible dream[00:01:20]
Try tell me that it's not and[00:01:22]
That's apart of the scheme[00:01:24]
I can get it yeah I can get it yeah[00:01:26]
I can get it yeah you know I'm with it yeah[00:01:29]
My old soul remains forever young[00:01:32]
I've done it all and stil[00:01:34]
I'm doing sh*t that I ain't ever done[00:01:35]
See it depends on your definition of winning[00:01:37]
I ain't start it from the bottom [00:01:40]
I started from the beginning[00:01:41]
Born up in uptown PG is where I lived[00:01:42]
Slept in a dresser draw[00:01:45]
When we couldn't afford a crib[00:01:47]
Parents got a divorce my father got him a biz[00:01:48]
My mother remained poor [00:01:51]
And I was caught in the mix[00:01:52]
Now I'm eating fried chicken[00:01:54]
While talking bout philosophy[00:01:55]
Debate the economy[00:01:57]
While clogging up my arteries[00:01:58]
Ghetto boushie ni**a so all that sh*t is apart of me[00:02:00]
Gave a ni**a an inch when all we want is yard see[00:02:03]
See this poverty under palm trees[00:02:06]
Chilling near the grave and[00:02:09]
The grove is within arms reach[00:02:10]
But thanks to gravity apples is on the ground[00:02:11]
And I use my GPS for the scrounge[00:02:14]
Show what I already found[00:02:16]
See this is a tangible dream[00:02:18]
Try tell me that it's not and that's apart of the scheme[00:02:20]
I can get it yeah I can get it yeah[00:02:23]
I can get it yeah you know I'm with it yeah[00:02:26]
See this is a tangible dream[00:02:29]
Try tell me that it's not and that's apart of the scheme[00:02:31]
I can get it yeah I can get it yeah[00:02:34]
I can get it yeah you know I'm with it yeah[00:02:37]
So what are you bitching about [00:02:42]
Niggas want to run with the wolves [00:02:43]
And now they sitting out[00:02:44]
I mean at least you've got a chair [00:02:46]
Yet you stand for nothing[00:02:48]
You'll fall for anything focused on never missing out[00:02:49]
You know it's fall I got the layers all sticking out[00:02:51]
The wax coating on the cotton like I'm rabbit hunting[00:02:54]
Gentry on a bike passing your Bentley[00:02:57]
Cycling with a broad while your passenger seat is empty[00:03:00]
Lord she say I'm different I take her to do nice things[00:03:02]
Getcha motherf**king car up out that bike lane[00:03:06]
Ain't nothing worse than being dissed by a smug ni**a[00:03:09]
I have fun with you non-articulate thug niggas[00:03:11]
My sarcasm is wasted in conversations[00:03:14]
I say sh*t see the delay and then all I get is a [00:03:17]
What ni**a [00:03:20]
Friends of mine is mad[00:03:20]
That they never made it[00:03:21]
The saddest state of affairs [00:03:22]
Cause they haven't covered the basics[00:03:24]
Go on a couple tours sleep on a couple floors[00:03:25]
When the floors ain't available [00:03:28]
There's van seats galore[00:03:30]
Transform your biggest haters in to supporters[00:03:31]
Then have some of your supporters debate[00:03:34]
You like you in office[00:03:35]
To make it a little awkward [00:03:37]
Mix your personal with business[00:03:38]
That sh*t done turned angels into witches [00:03:39]
I done witnessed[00:03:41]
See wherever you run the drama will come to visit[00:03:42]
If it never feels like drama[00:03:45]
Then my ni**a you got the ticket to this[00:03:47]
See this is a tangible dream[00:03:49]
Try tell me that it's not and that's apart of the scheme[00:03:51]
I can get it yeah I can get it yeah[00:03:54]
I can get it yeah you know I'm with it yeah[00:03:57]
See this is a tangible dream[00:04:00]
Try tell me that it's not and that's apart of the scheme[00:04:02]
I can get it yeah I can get it yeah[00:04:06]
I can get it yeah you know I'm with it yeah[00:04:09]
