adam calhoun – the dollar كلمات اغاني
[intro]
twenty years
twenty years ago fir…
man i’ve been at this for twenty years
[verse 1]
twenty years ago first show
i was twenty years old, time flies, i don’t know where it goes
pull up bumpin’ jay through the speakers of a hoopty
now it’s barricades and black suvs
time flies when you’re miserable
first album was a cd now everything’s digital
can’t believe i lived through everything i’ve been through
house filled with black dudes, i slept in the living room
late night studio, rappin’ in the bas_m_nt
missed out on my son as a kid, didn’t raise him
caught a few cases, got locked up in state pen
i remember tamen was eight then
i was poor sleepin’ on the floor
it’s depressin’ i knew i wanted more
i guess it was a blessing
now i’m writing album number four in the west wing
did a bunch of tours, i can afford the best things
i went from broke as a joke to rich as it gets
i went from dead beat dad to raisin’ my kid
i went from h_ll in a cell to be able to live
i went from poor to wealth and i hate this
[chorus]
dollar and a dream it ain’t always what it seems
so be careful what you wish for
dollar and a dream it ain’t always what it seems
careful what you wish for
[verse 2]
life long friends that’ll stab you in the back
they’re the first ones that’ll ask for some cash
i can’t even talk to my dad without his hand out
i was least likely to succeed, i’m the man now
ten cars in the pole barn i don’t even drive
four wheelers, dirt bikes i don’t even ride
i just sit in this chair, blank stare, look outside
that’s a h_ll of a price to pay for this life
mater fact you know i been to h_ll and back twice
angel stuck by my side that i shoulda made my wife
but i spend my time online lookin’ at pictures of instagram models
that’s my addiction
fly ’em out, give ’em money, this ain’t free
stay up all night, lose sleep
get what i need, it’s a disease
you ain’t payin’ ’em to stay, you’re payin’ ’em to leave, leave
[chorus]
dollar and a dream it ain’t always what it seems
be careful what you wish for
dollar and a dream it ain’t always what it seems
be careful what you wish for
[verse 3]
all i see is unfamiliar faces
did my song “racism” thought i wouldn’t say it
on tour california called me racist
boycotted shows, tried to keep me off stages
i just keep my middle finger in the air
i’m the reason that i’m here, are we clear?
you’re in the rearview, i can’t even hear you
double what i did in year one and year two
so here’s to never bein’ satisfied
always feelin’ sad inside
tell me who’s down to ride
feelin’ like a homicide
always gonna speak my mind, at least i tell the truth
tell me why you always lie
[outro]
i’m done man, i’m not good with this sad rap
that’s just how i feel
[chorus]
it’s like a dollar and a dream it ain’t always what it seems
it’s like a dollar and a dream it ain’t always what it seems
be careful what you wish for
