Bow Wow - Big Dreams

I had a homie named
Tony 16 62
Headed to the NBA straight
from High School
My nigga has his ball
game on lock
But at the same time he was
in love with the block
All the stuff that came wit
it the drugs and the guns
The gangs the slang and
all the funds
He just got a letter of
detent from the
Cavaliers saying
How they love him and they
wish he was there
He had it made like
specialed about
to get the bread
But chose to do something
dumb instead
Go to war with the crew
on the other side of town
And was more ready and Tony
got laided down
He ain't even have a chance
Died before the ambulance
even got to him
So many went through him
I hate to tell the story
but that's sad it
Growing up in the hood
as a kid
When you got big dreams
Don't listen to
what nobody say
And don't let nobody
turn you away
When you got big dreams
Keep your eyes on the prize
don't fall to the way side
When you got big dreams
Don't listen to
what nobody say
And don't let nobody
turn you away
When you got big dreams
Keep your eyes on the
prize don't fall
To the way side reach
for the sky
I knew a girl named Gina
that was a hell of a singer
And everybody fell in love
with her when they seen her
Babygirl was on the verge of
signing a big deal
18 and life looked
so so real
She was stuck with a dude
that was all bad news
And all he ever did was give
baby the blues
And she was true to a nigga
do for a nigga
Pop you and your whole crew
for a nigga
One night he came and
picked her up
told her let's ride
That's the same night that
he watched her die
They was tryna hit a lick
but the lick hit back
Put a end to the deal
and all of that
She ain't even have to be
there and he knew
it wasn't right
Now he gotta deal wit it for
the rest of his life
And the part I don't like
he ain't even get grazed
But the home girl Gina is
laying in the grave
When you got big dreams
Don't listen to
what nobody say
And don't let nobody
turn you away
When you got big dreams
Keep your eyes on the prize
don't fall to the way side
When you got big dreams
Don't listen to
what nobody say
And don't let nobody
turn you away
When you got big dreams
Keep your eyes on the
prize don't fall
To the way side reach
for the sky
I got a few relatives
giving the family drama
Always got they hands out
when they see me and my mama
One could have been a doctor
the other a chef
But when he got his own
kitchen he was cooking
something else
Now his life in the drain
a trifling shame
He all washed up
wife took everything
No car no more no house
And everywhere he go
he stole so they throwed
him out
I was growing up looking up
to be like them
Now I'm throwing up cash
rolling up in the bent
I'm stuck with a dream
I had since a shorty
And I'll be damned if I let
another man support me
Now Uncle June Buck sick
skinny as hell
He got AIDS in his body
from the needles he shared
Everytime he get his welfare
checks he don't care
If you wanna see him go to
the crackhouse he there
When you got big dreams
Don't listen to
what nobody say
And don't let nobody
turn you away
When you got big dreams
Keep your eyes on the prize
don't fall to the way side
When you got big dreams
Don't listen to
what nobody say
And don't let nobody
turn you away
When you got big dreams
Keep your eyes on the
prize don't fall
To the way side reach
for the sky
When you got big dreams
When you got big dreams
When you got big dreams
When you got big dreams
Keep your eyes on the
prize don't fall
To the way side reach
for the sky
