letra de tangible dream - oddisee

[verse 1]
i got dreams of being a rich n-gga
a wealthy man is too grand to fit in the big picture
and being broke ain’t even in the scope, so what’s the plan?
i started thinking like really though, what does money get ya?
a lot of flights and a lot of nights with some loose women
a lot of hype is it really worth it? the truth’s pending
and i ain’t waiting until the verdict is out
i’m trying to be just what i heard i’m about, and that’s me
that’s something you don’t see, cause fronting is what we are used to
well guess i’m out this motherf-cker looking like the future
a black man in norway, not another prejudice
while you can have your preference, i’ma be black all day
i’ma be out on broadway, hands full of bags
can’t get a f-cking cab, though the color of my cash
is the same green as yours. am i angry? of course
ain’t nothing detained me from my cause, and that is…

[chorus]
see, this is a tangible dream
they try to tell me that it’s not and that’s apart of the scheme
i can get it, yeah, i can get it, yeah
i can get it, yeah, you know i’m with it, yeah
see, this is a tangible dream
they try to tell me that it’s not and that’s apart of the scheme
i can get it, yeah, i can get it, yeah
i can get it, yeah, you know i’m with it, yeah

[verse 2]
my old soul remains forever young
i’ve done it all and still i’m doing sh-t that i ain’t ever done
see it depends on your definition of winning
i ain’t start it from the bottom, i started from the beginning
born up in uptown, pg is where i lived
slept in a dresser drawer when we couldn’t afford a crib
parents got a divorce, my father got him a benz
my mother remained poor, and i was caught in the mix
now i’m eating fried chicken while talking ’bout philosophy
debate the economy while clogging up my arteries
ghetto boushie n-gga so all that sh-t is apart of me
gave a n-gga an inch, when all we want is yard, see
see, this poverty under palm trees
chilling near the grave and the grove is within arm’s reach
but thanks to gravity apples is on the ground
and i use my gps for the scrounge, show what i already found…

[verse 3]
so what are you b-tching about?
n-ggas want to run with the wolves, and now they sitting out
i mean at least you’ve got a chair, yet you stand for nothing
you’ll fall for anything focused on never missing out
you know it’s fall i got the layers all sticking out
the wax coating on the cotton like i’m rabbit hunting
gentry, on a bike p-ssing your bentley
cycling with a broad while your p-ssenger seat is empty
lord, she say i’m different i take her to do nice things
getcha motherf-cking car up out that bike lane
ain’t nothing worse than being dissed by a smug n-gga
i have fun with you non-articulate thug n-ggas
my sarcasm is wasted in conversations
i say sh-t see the delay and then all i get is a, “what n-gga?”
friends of mine is mad that they never made it
the saddest state of affairs, cause they haven’t covered the basics
go on a couple tours, sleep on a couple floors
when the floors ain’t available, there’s van seats galore
transform your biggest haters into supporters
then have some of your supporters debate you like you in office
to make it a little awkward, mix your personal with business
that sh-t done turned angels into witches, i done witnessed
see wherever you run the drama will come to visit
if it never feels like drama then my n-gga you got the ticket to this…
