DREAMS IN 69
Dreams Unfold: Struggles, Aspirations, and Hope
Lyrics
Yo
Expression of attention or greeting
Been dreaming about, everything working out
Reflecting on aspirations and positive outcomes in life
(Dreaming dreaming)
Repetition emphasizing the act of dreaming
Tryna put the pieces together, you know?
Expressing a desire to make sense of life's complexities
(Dreaming dreaming)
Reiteration of the theme of dreaming and envisioning success
Yeah, look
Introduction or transition to deeper thoughts
Lately I've been thinking, who the hell am I?
Contemplation of self-identity and purpose
All this liquor I've been drinking like I'm waiting to die
Acknowledging excessive drinking as a coping mechanism
Everybody playing witness, all they do is testify
Noting the scrutiny and judgment from others
Calling me a criminal, say my talent's minimal
Facing accusations of criminality and talent criticism
And all these fake rappers throwing shots and subliminals
Dealing with fake rappers' indirect attacks
But it's okay cause man, I know my fate
Acceptance of challenges and setbacks
If you rolling with the man best believe I'll share my plate
Commitment to share success with loyal associates
All my niggas gone eat, taking trips overseas
Ensuring prosperity for close friends
Have all my real Gs sitting under money trees
Desire for luxury and financial success
Getting shaded and faded just thanking God that we made it
Gratitude for surviving challenges
I'm the judge and the plaintiff for you niggas that hated
Asserting authority and addressing haters
Look, knowledge is power and I got knowledge of self
Emphasizing the importance of self-awareness
I acknowledge what's ours, a process towards wealth
Acknowledging the journey toward wealth
Like, how you gone love if you don't love yourself?
Pondering the need for self-love in relationships
(How)
(Question about self-love)
Krista told me that before I knew those were facts
Receiving advice on self-love from Krista
I went soul searching now I'm stuck on this path
Undertaking a journey of self-discovery
And one day, I'ma make her proud of me
Longing for approval from a significant person
But till that day comes she's with me in my dreams
Until achieving goals, finding solace in dreams
Dreaming of you baby
Repetition of the theme of dreaming of a loved one
Dreaming of you, I'm dreaming of you
-Dreaming of you baby
-Dreaming of you baby
-Dreaming of you, I'm dreaming of you
-Dreaming of you baby yeah
-Yeah
(Empty line, no specific meaning)
Wise men do not talk unless they have to
Quoting the wisdom of speaking only when necessary
That's something I picked up tryna do what my grand pops do
Personal reflection on learning from a grandfather
But he passed two-thousand and six
Reflecting on family members who have passed away
The same year my uncle said I was a genius
-And I believed him cause he was one too
-Though he passed too, he's still living through the qualities that he passed to-
-His son Noah junior
Observation of a family member's dedication and inspiration
I don't know if he's a genius, but he's always on the grind
-That shit keeps me really inspired
-Take a look into his eyes to know what he really holds inside
-Pain, but he say that he alright
Contrasting apparent strength with underlying pain
That's a fake ass facade
Highlighting a facade of well-being
I dream of, the day he gonna get comfort from his parents on the other side
Hoping for comfort for a family member in the afterlife
I dream of, freedom of my brothers stuck in Libya
Expressing concern for the struggles of others
We know nothing bout their struggle, we get shit from the media
Critical view of media portrayal of international issues
I dream of the day you look me up on Wikipedia
Dreaming of personal success and recognition
I'll be worth about, let's say 60 million
Anticipation and nervousness about future success
It's bout to happen and I swear I'm getting nervous
-Get a condo out in Vegas, stand on the roof ass naked
-Screaming baby I'm the greatest, I made it
-Celebrate it yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Celebrating anticipated success
Dreaming, dreaming (I'm dreaming)
Repetition of the theme of dreaming
Dreaming, dreaming (yeah, yeah, yeah)
-Dreaming, dreaming (I'm dreaming)
-Dreaming, dreaming (yeah, yeah, yeah)
-Ohh ohh
Continued repetition of the theme of dreaming of a loved one
Dreaming, dreaming (I'm dreaming)
-Dreaming, dreaming (yeah, yeah, yeah)
-Ohh ohh
-Dreaming, dreaming (I'm dreaming)
-Dreaming, dreaming (yeah, yeah, yeah)
-Dreaming of you baby yeah
Expressing a longing for a loved one
