Gangsta Dreams

Hey, ahn
(Hey)

Put it up for sale at your stand
Here's the CD from my band
If there's a commercial on TV
Slowly I'll make my money
Apartment in Copacabana
Gangsta dream, like ecstasy, AKA extra to stay
Producing, smoking some ganja

It's Saturday
And today my mission is to be bigger than the pain
Bigger than the cold of that freezer
So that the flame reaches and melts the ice
And that my art can serve as a good blanket
For all the people I know have a heart
Who make art, especially out of love
Who have every right to live solely from this gift
That God gave them, but someone made it difficult
With talk of high investment in your rap
But, in the end, only delayed you, sucked you dry
I know how it is
But my faith
Is so much greater that none of this discouraged me
I did the same hustle several times to get the money I needed to release my album
And it was all in vain
The best thing I did was save up some money to do everything the way I believe
And look where I am
I still don't have everything I want
But everything I have, I intend to continue valuing the most
And anything I have in excess, I want to share with those I truly believe deserve it
So

I had to have the vision, I didn't warn anyone
I had to have the vision without warning
I had to have the vision without warning anyone
I had to have the vision without warning
