Game, The - Dollar And A Dream Lyrics
[Intro - The Game:]
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 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
(You ain't gon' do shit) 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, take you in Carson next week
Ab-Soul!
[Hook - The Game:]
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!
(Look at me now, look at me now)
Started with a dollar and a dream!
[Verse 2 - Ab-Soul:]
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!
[Hook - Game:]
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!
(Look at me now, look at me now)
Started with a dollar and a dream!
[Verse 3 - The Game:]
My first album was a set up
I was the little nigga Pac was talking to
When he said "keep your head up"
Cause he knew what I would be facing after his demise
Jayceon had to pitch them pies, better life than flipping fries
I'm the one the Crips despise
Move the Yay or kiss the sky, for having dreams that 50 died
Eulogy by Mary Blige
Hopped up in that enterprise, had to stop a genocide
Went from underdog to watching Top Dawg and Kendrick rise
Now tell me can I testify, pull over trying to rest for 5
On a block, no tint on the Wraith left these kids mesmerized
They ask me how I did it, how I got it
Say I'm king you looking brolic
I put them weights down start practicing lyrical exercise
Tell me who the next to die, probably who the next in line
They got me babbling ghost cause I'm the illest one alive
That's word to Pac, Pun, Biggie, why I stand as my city
It's wise to run a train, you couldn't fuck with me
Ever since I saved my coast, it's been born again
If I ain't shit then who the king of California then?
Who could out-rap me?
Now think about if the same nigga you bout to say can run up and out-strap me, yeah
Out-trap me, yeah, out-gat me
I mean think about it, exactly
Speaking matter-of-factly I'm down playing that actually
Call me Game I ain't one still I get paid like an athlete
Do the math after the math, Doc two in the bag
Lived up to expectations, Dre took me first in the draft
Now who the fuck want what
Nobody survives so look alive when them Impalas in the cut
[Hook - Game:]
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!
(Look at me now, look at me now)
Started with a dollar and a dream!

End of 2019.. fire
In the studio gettin paid to reflect on that 🔥🔥
Tupac Mafia New York
Who else is listening to this in 2019?
Bro the documentary 2 is legendary tracklist and features are fire
Ab soul outshined Game on this song no doubt. Soulo is underrated AF and probably the most lyrically out of the whole TDE
🚧📼🚧
It all started with dolla and a dreaaam
That a fucking dope and smooth track here!
I don't care about the lyrics, but the instrumental is beautiful.
get dre on the phone quick ab soul killed me on my own shit
Eric Blair nah
@wobz somthing somthing name drop name drop somthing somthing
i need this instrumental
Best off the albumn
Shout out to the loC
Ab-Soul killed it!
Dope shit
Why the fuck isn't j Cole on this shit
Rubbish song and whole album shit this nigga lost it.
You're trippin, this was his hardest album since he came out
S cell dog you trippin this was a good abulm
lowkey the game is fire🔥 Hey just underated from other rappers
did ab-soul diss Clyde carson?
No Ab-soul is from Carson, California and there hasn't really been any big names from there since Ras kas I think
+Paul Dashit ahhh ok thanks alot man!
why diss lupe though? i fuck with game but that wasnt smart.
It wasn't a diss...
I stayed the same; ain't go weird like Lupe.... sounds like a shot to me
@Aaron Myrick Nope... Lupe did go weird, as far as social media goes (but for the right reason)
you forget game got them classic diss tracks tho
''When's the last time you heard CARS-ON a track?" wow.
fucking great
the moment you realize the Lupe mention...was that a dis...I can't decide...
It wasn't a diss...... Lupe is "weird" lol (In a good way tho!)
Who can out rap me?
who can out strap me?
who can our trap me?
who can out gatt me?
he's right to be honest!!!
I love the album, but I think the Documentary 2/2.5 would've played better if the tracklist was only:
Intro
On Me
Dollar & A Dream
Made in America
Circles
100
Crewnshaw/80s & Cocaine
From Adam
Outside
My Flag/Da Homies
Moment of Violence
Life
El Chapo
“The Game aint changed we’re still changing the game.”
+ThePostTube the title track (The Documentary 2) also bangs
@PseudoIsNice Not a fan of that one tbh
@Jezza Jacks It's all subjective though. Shit, yr perfect version of the Documentary 2 would be different to mine, but I'm glad the albums were good anyway
yall arguing about the game vs ab souls verse , can we just agree that chorus is fire ?!
People sleeping on this
Lupe would eat this track up
The beat is J Cole so I guess The Game went with the flow
THIS SONG ALONE MAKES THE ENTIRE ALBUM A CLASSIC🔥🔥💯
Best Soul verse in a while
"In the studio getting paid to reflect on that" that's pretty meta right there
Bass line is on point.
Haters are going to hate sipping on h8er-aide. mad because a hood motherfucker from the hood got it made. Rep that shit Los Angeles Southern California. Game keep it real hommie.
SOULO HOE
How the fuck you take a shot at Lupe?
They say them White Fence eses gone ride tonight
They say them Clanton Varrio homies gone ride tonight
They say them T Flats eses gone ride tonight
They say them 18th st homies gone ride tonight
They say them 38th street vatos gone ride tonight
They say them East Side Longos gone ride
tonight
They say them Compton Varrio 70 gone ride They say Florencia XIII vatos gone ride tonight
Who gone ride tonight who gone di3 tonight?
ES WF X3

ab souls' verse was filthy whole song is dope though

This my fav song on the album
started with a dollar and a dream
AB-SOULLLLLLLLLL WHAT U DOIN WITH ALL THESE PAUSES IN YOUR NEW RAPS? This is the doc 2 step it up!!! GET ON THAT SNEAK DISSIN SCHOOLBOYQ HES MAKIN YOU LOOK STOOPID. needed a better concept this was a big move for you!!

"You be talking boss, saying big words
Like pHilosopHies, man you weird Homie
WHat it sounds to me tHat you broke as fuck
And your bitcH gon' leave and tHat's real, Homie"
from vice city.
+Jesus Gomez cor just broke it down for you lol
@Christian Gambarrotti lol yea but are we sure that was directed at Soulo? I mean they're signed to the same label and both in Black hippy together
@Jesus Gomez its possible its directed at someone else that raps big words and philosophies but either way id be pissed if I was soul cause thats what he does.
YESSSS Finally Sum Good Music🙌🙌🙌
ab-souls tho
Cole could have at least did the chorus on this shit lol
Cole could have at least did the chorus on this shit lol
dollar and a dream is just a concept that he did take from cole
He been listening to j cole alot Jesús Christ i thought it was J cole for a second
ab-soul needs to be more known
Yeah but in this day in age his content isn't attractive to the general public he's one of my personal favorites but today is mainly drill and trap and pop
This should have a Ye verse 1000% percent
"started with a dollar and a dream and a pistol slangin crystal" finally good lyrics and that cali love vibe Game on point with his raps amazing
Ab-Souloooooooooooo HO3
Ab SOUL is God his new shit gon annihilate
Oh shit
YG IS ON THE ALBUM ON THE SECOND DISC
