Eris Dublin - Xamples Lyrics

I had a dollar and a dream, dreaming 'bout them dollars but wait
Do ya still have dollars and dreams?
I'll spit a whole 16 without acknowledging cream
The money's what made you right?
That's a powerful thing
Applies to anyone, I'm talking 'bout the cowards and fiends
You still a follower, how could I allow you lead?
What a coincidence, blowing sour, blowing off steam
I take time with this, ain't getting on by any means
They tried to pressure me, I was taught apply it and take
I got the recipe, you won't catch me frying on tape
Nothing impresses me, only getting fly on a date
Kicking in doors with them hits like I'm trying to escape
Man, seems like niggas only do it for the mentions
In the AM getting wins like 10/10
Seen my destinations 'fore I'm at 'em, premonitions
Made 'em see the shit for what it was 4 dimensions

I been through hell plenty times
I hope it's heaven that saves me
I can't ignore when you try
I can't ignore when you play me
I give examples of times
People done tried to amaze me
I'm different I cannot lie
Knowing this life shit done changed me
I been through hell plenty times
I hope it's heaven that saves me
I can't ignore when you try
I can't ignore when you play me
I give examples of times
People done tried to amaze me
I'm different I cannot lie
Knowing this life shit done changed me

Seen a cell in my teen years, rebelled, shouldn't be there
Figured I was making right choices by 19 years
Letters on the wall, one eye open, I could see clear
Favor for a favor 'round here, and then we'll be square
Nah, I was on constructing tryna build it up
Ya, had a lot to say but it was still enough
Why, only time it's real is when you feeling drunk?
Fine, guess I'll hit this L since I've given up
Caught between a beef that had nothin to do with me
'Cause I love harder, I oblivious so to speak
She was curvy as an S, body language to a T
But her past is her present her future cannot be freed
The devil's my opponent, awaiting on my atonement
Let's go then, we toe to toe, I ain't tryna condone it
A loner, I only want confrontation to bone her
Confirmation disclosure, this conversation is over, I mean...

I been through hell plenty times
I hope it's heaven that saves me
I can't ignore when you try
I can't ignore when you play me
I give examples of times
People done tried to amaze me
I'm different I cannot lie
Knowing this life shit done changed me
I been through hell plenty times
I hope it's heaven that saves me
I can't ignore when you try
I can't ignore when you play me
I give examples of times
People done tried to amaze me
I'm different I cannot lie
Knowing this life shit done changed me
