Common, Nas - Ghetto Dreams (feat. Nas)(2011)

[00:02.51] Ghetto dreams, ghetto ghetto dreams
[00:05.64] Ghetto niggas' dreams from the hood
[00:20.26] I want a bitch that look good and cook good
[00:22.42] Cinderella fancy but she still look hood
[00:24.82] Butt naked in the kitchen flipping pancakes
[00:26.83] Plus she tricking from the dough that her man makes
[00:29.71] We got our own handshake, her titties ain't fake
[00:34.27] Fucking in the car 'cause we just can't wait
[00:36.52] To get home early in the morn' getting stoned
[00:37.83] Pretty with her eyes low, running by Bible
[00:39.63] The type of bitch that Big said he would die for
[00:41.78] Is the type that I would rather stay alive for
[00:44.25] Tats on her back, looking all tribal
[00:46.49] She know shoes like she know survival
[00:48.74] Well, put together, she weathers the storm
[00:51.09] Seen her brother die so forever she's strong
[00:53.57] Hear Beyonce's song and she gotta perform
[00:55.58] Whether fucking or fighting, we getting it on
[00:58.58] Ghetto dreams, ghetto ghetto dreams
[01:01.80] Ghetto niggas' dreams from the hood
[01:18.13] I don't even say shit, she can feel it
[01:20.47] I toss the realest, toenails acrylic
[01:22.46] Ass is a weapon and it's hard to conceal it
[01:24.86] Baby in one arm, the other is a skillet
[01:27.51] Fried chicken, macaroni, raised on the back of Stony
[01:29.84] Ghetto press, she's my Apollonia
[01:32.62] Like trigger had the back of Tony Montana
[01:34.57] Reminded me a me of my, of my mama
[01:36.91] Knowing the drama like she know when to joke
[01:39.65] Steal a nigga's squares, not wanting me to smoke
[01:42.18] I poke my head out of Benzes
[01:44.33] Streets that I know who my friends is
[01:46.49] In this love for the money, power and clothes
[01:49.05] A ghetto housewife watch reality shows
[01:51.66] She might get to snapping when the cabinets ain't closed
[01:54.51] When the cameras start snapping, she's ready to pose
[01:58.08] Ghetto dreams, ghetto ghetto dreams
[02:09.18] Ghetto niggas' dreams from the hood
[02:16.59] I notice all my flaws when it comes to writing rhymes
[02:19.11] Subject matter be changing too quickly at times
[02:20.90] So I keep it strictly 'bout dimes and stick to the story
[02:23.83] Call me a pro in the pussy category
[02:25.99] Had explicit experiences I shouldn't mention
[02:28.56] For me, getting women turned from sport to addiction
[02:31.22] Powerful women playing the roles of submission
[02:33.53] Lawyers on leashes, congress, women inflicting
[02:35.65] Pain onto my game wanted and I'm sadistic
[02:38.00] They liked it, they diked it, devices twisted
[02:40.41] 'Til I get a nice chick, to get me on some nice shit
[02:43.34] Crib raising kids, Labrador behind the white fence
[02:45.90] But I'm still single, looking for Cleopatra
[02:48.04] African Queen, yo look at me, I'm a bachelor
[02:50.32] Y'all niggas in trouble, keep your girls behind closed doors
[02:53.37] Cross your fingers, be happy I haven't chose yours
[02:55.31] She love glamor, bought her Vera Wang sandals
[02:58.03] Valentino bags is my etiquette, my manors
[03:00.22] Half hood, half class, photographers' cameras
[03:02.83] Caught us out there, the spotlight, hope she can handle this
[03:04.51] She can join me, red carpet at my next non-profit
[03:07.14] Events having sponsored have some alcohol product
[03:10.28] Jumping out a Bentley with some fresh red bottoms
[03:12.20] You live your dream with me when you are just in the projects
[03:14.68] Ghetto dreams, ghetto ghetto dreams
[03:31.78] Ghetto niggas' dreams from the hood
[03:52.25]
