Life Is but a Dream Songtext
von The Game feat. Elijah Blake

I am happy to join with you today
In what will go down in history
As the greatest demonstration for freedom
In the history of our nation

So it seems I′m lost
In between exotic cars in Phoenix
Palms hella itchy, baby mama bitchy
Dish washer broke cause them pots too sticky

Snap back to the back cause I got that crack
And I'm from that city where even the girls is packed
And I′m strapped, this zone they don't hear that rap

Shit, unless it's YG or problem
Then them bitches turn up ASAP
Like they went to school in Harlem
But they know they from Compton
Yeah, they know they from Compton


Where we put bass with the head
Before Dre was with Monster
We pull guns on niggas ′fore we ever play Contra
Turn up countering they bands
And that make them hoes dance, so (hey)

Let that bitch breathe before she take yo kids
And you be forced to watch that bitch leave
And that′s every nigga's situation
In a town where them gang signs go up
And them bitches going down

Life is but a dream
I say it′s not what I need (life is but a dream)
So if I'm finally free
(Don′t wait me, don't save me, no) life is but a dream
Life is but a dream (life is but a dream)
I say it′s not what I need (life is everything but a dream)

A great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today
Signed the Emancipation Proclamation
But one hundred years later, the negro still is not free

Niggas robbed two chains on World Star
I seen these niggas runnin'
Them ain't yo niggas no more
′Cause I got mine′s comin'


You take a nigga jewels and act like you didn′t did something
We take a nigga life and act like we ain't did nothing
And all of this is at a push of a button

I got niggas bustin′ simply because they ribs is touchin'
And we ain′t tryna work at Mickey D
Niggas is tryin to put that six on D's
And flip one in Bentley keys
Hood niggas that only wanna be hood with
Stack 100 cash, and then you safe and wife a good bitch
Cop a Gucci belt, maybe in Louie Two

Line at challenger with that Camaro and see what it do?
Hit toxic 'cause we got a fit and cane wasted
It′s hot as fuck but at least we can see these hoes′ faces
Hey, it's drama what that shit do
Every time we hit this city give′em a couple hoes and a pistol (hey)

'Cause I, I hold my niggas down
I said I, I hold my niggas down
Yeah, I hold my niggas down
And the day I go out, this is Kendrick′s crown

No, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters
And righteousness like a mighty stream

Life is but a dream (dream, dream, dream)
Life is but a dream (dream, dream, dream)
Life is everything but a dream (dream, dream)

Overcome, we shall overcome, we shall overcome (dream, dream, dream, dream)
