1
It's not, it's not me exactly, who touches people
2
It's what I represent, the possibility that dreams from long ago
3
May still come true even if they, even if, even if
4
Even if they look lost forever
5
I had a homie named, Tony, 16, 6"2'
6
Headed to the NBA straight from high school
7
My nigga had his ball game on lock
8
But at the same time he was in love with the block
9
All the stuff that came wit it the drugs and the guns
10
The gangs, the slangs and all the funds
11
He just got a letter of contempt from the Cavaliers
12
Sayin' how they love him and they wish he was there
13
He had it made like, Special Ed about to get the bread
14
But chose to do somethin' dumb instead
15
Go to war wit the crew on the other side of town
16
And was more ready then Tony got laid down
17
He ain't even have a chance, died 'fore the ambulance
18
Even got to him so many went through him
19
I hate to tell the story but that's how it is
20
Growin' up in the hood as a kid
21
When you got big dreams don't listen to what nobody say
22
And don't let nobody turn you away
23
When you got big dreams keep your eyes on the prize
24
Don't fall to the wayside
25
When you got big dreams don't listen to what nobody say
26
And don't let nobody turn you away
27
When you got big dreams keep your eyes on the prize
28
Don't fall to the wayside, reach for the sky
29
I knew a girl named Gina that was a hell of a singer
30
And e'body fell in love wit her when they seen her
31
Babygirl was on the verge of signin' a big deal
32
Eighteen and life looked so surreal
33
She was stuck wit a dude that was all bad news
34
And all he ever did was give baby the blues
35
But she was true to a nigga do for a nigga
36
Pop, you and ya whole crew for a nigga
37
One night, he came, picked her up
38
Told her let's ride that's the same night
39
Daddy watched her die they was tryna hit a lick
40
But the lick hit back put a end to the deal
41
And all of that
42
She ain't even have to be there
43
He knew it wasn't right, now he gotta deal wit it
44
For the rest of his life and the part I don't like
45
He ain't even get grazed but the homegirl Gina
46
Is layin' in the grave
47
When you got big dreams don't listen to what nobody say
48
And don't let nobody turn you away
49
When you got big dreams keep your eyes on the prize
50
Don't fall to the wayside
51
When you got big dreams don't listen to what nobody say
52
And don't let nobody turn you away
53
When you got big dreams keep your eyes on the prize
54
Don't fall to the wayside, reach for the sky
55
I got a few relatives, given family drama
56
Always got they hands out
57
When they see me and my momma
58
One could have been a doctor the other a chef
59
But when he got his own kitchen
60
He was cookin' somethin' else
61
Now, his life in the drain, a triflin' shame
62
He all washed up, wife took e'thing
63
No car, no mo', no house and everywhere he go
64
He stole, so they throwed him out
65
I was growin' up lookin' up to be like them
66
Now, I'm throwin' up cash, rollin' up in the bed
67
I was stuck wit a dream I had since a shorty
68
I be damned if I let another man support me
69
Now, Uncle Junebuck's sick, skinny as hell
70
He got aids in his body from the needles he shared
71
E'time he get his welfare checks
72
He don't care, if you wanna see him go to the crack house
73
He there
74
When you got big dreams don't listen to what nobody say
75
And don't let nobody turn you away
76
When you got big dreams keep your eyes on the prize
77
Don't fall to the wayside
78
When you got big dreams don't listen to what nobody say
79
And don't let nobody turn you away
80
When you got big dreams keep your eyes on the prize
81
Don't fall to the wayside, reach for the sky
82
When you got big dreams, when you got big dreams
83
When you got big dreams, when you got big dreams
84
Keep your eyes on the prize don't fall to the wayside
85
Reach for the sky
