dollar and a dream

they say it started in the east where the apple was

but out west we be throwing them apples up

they say them fruit town niggas gon' ride tonight

they say them tree top niggas gon' ride tonight

they say them grape street niggas gon' ride tonight

they say them bounty hunter niggas gon' ride tonight

they say them 6-0 niggas gon' ride tonight

they say them cedar block niggas gon' ride tonight

them 1-9-0 niggas gon' ride tonight

they say them timberland niggas gon' ride tonight

they say them campanella niggas gon' ride tonight

who gon' ride tonight

who gon' die tonight

started with a dollar and a dream

started with a dollar and a dream

we did it for the west

motherfucker

like kanye

niggas get stretched out on

got three thousand stacks

i ain't talking 'bout andre

i put it on your head

i ain't talking no toupee

see i stayed the same

ain't go weird like lupe

squeeze on his trigger like ain't no more toothpaste

bitch

of course i is

you want this money

you gon' have to drive the course i did

i got that weight foundry

talking 'bout the porsche out here

you in the nosebleeds

come down to where the cross-eyed is

how a nigga with a rojo rag end up in soho

bag

any bitch walking with a solo swag

you think you ballin' in that four do' jag? nah

in tom fords with a mk bag? nah

give you a bird's eye view of the streets

nigga

welcome to compton

ab-soul!

started with a dollar and a dream and a pistol

on the corner rag hangin'

slangin' crystal

i said you gangbanging let me see credentials

and when i pull this gun out you know how this go

started with a dollar and a dream!

started with a dollar and a dream!

i was fathered by the bastards

pardon my mannerisms

the curtiss magnet that managed without the metal with him

how the hell i did it? i let god ad lib it

i put that on leetwood

i ain't lying one sentence

bitch

i started with a dollar and a dream

we went from helping old ladies with their groceries at alpha beta

for a couple quarters to a baby hustling something major

we had to grow up sooner or later

but

i'm so del amo

my mama still stay off anna lee

carson across my belly

i prove you lost already

roccett my big brother

bishop let the door crack

game took me on my first tour

now look where we at

in the studio getting paid to reflect on that

documenting true facts

not to mention this the documentary 2 too

you do the addition in ballerina shoes

enough with the clever raps

it's more important than that

i put my city on the map

nigga

yeah

i really put my city on the map

i mean

when the last time you heard carson on the track

nigga?

let alone when they calling out stomping grounds on the west

i'll wait

yeah

that's what i thought

i'm the best

nigga

this the new west

nigga

respect that

it's top dawg

all i'm missing is the red hat

but don't question what pocket i had left

my handkerchief

i'm guilty by affiliation

in many ways gangsta

but let me explain something

a paradox if you may

i threw all my fresh supreme chuck taylors today

and then i got a call from chuck taylor

i'm saying

the game ain't changed

we still changing the game

soul!

started with a dollar and a dream and a pistol

on the corner rag hangin'

slangin' crystal

i said you gangbanging let me see credentials

and when i pull this gun out you know how this go

started with a dollar and a dream!

started with a dollar and a dream!

my first album was a set up

i was the little nigga pac was talking to

when he said keep your head up"
