Big K.R.I.T. - Dreamin' (w/Lyrics)



"This is the 1st leak of my new Album “Returnof4eva” (artwork by Eric Bailey) The song is called “Dreamin” I produced the beat as well. I feel this is a perfect representation of my music at this exact moment in time bc it could have gone either way for me. This was all a dream a year ago. Now i am living out my dreams everyday. This is a personal & special record to me & i hope it inspires you to follow your dreams like i did. Motion Family shot the video for this yesterday, Thats coming soon. In the meantime u can get the song & all updates from me at Returnof4eva.com"

Hit the jump for lyrics:


old school flow...

yeah...yeah...yeah...yeah...yeah

they used to say...
they used to say...
this rap shit...
they used to say... (he's dreamin'...)
they used to say... (he's dreamin'...)
this rap shit (is not for real)
this rap shit (is not for real)
they used to say... (he's dreamin'...)
they used to say... (he's dreamin'...)
this rap shit (is not for real)
this rap shit (is not for real)

yeah, i remember it so clearly
rappin' to my pop about the cars and the clothes
shrimp and the lobster that i heard about
like word of mouth
that UGK tape and scarface will turn you out
i was like 13, thirsty for a good beat
scopin' for a studio, talkin' bout I spit heat
like (8)ball and G, on that "Pimp Tight" shit
Three 6 had me crunk on that "Late Night Tip"


they used to say... (he's dreamin'...)
they used to say... (he's dreamin'...)
this rap shit (is not for real)
this rap shit (is not for real)
they used to say... (he's dreamin'...)
they used to say... (he's dreamin'...)
this rap shit (is not for real)
this rap shit (is not for real)

I played ball for a minute, did i mention?
wasn't in it
writing rhymes on my gloves so i would never forget 'em
had to quit it, didn't feel it back in high school
rather write poems, known for flowin', thats what I do
couldn't be little Zach forever
peace to my big brother
follow your dreams baby, thats word to my grandmother
while i hit the streets, tapping out beats, kickin' my flow
I overhear the same shit they always said before


that he's... (dreamin'...)
they used to say... (he's dreamin'...)
this rap shit (is not for real)
this rap shit (is not for real)
they used to say... (he's dreamin'...)
they used to say... (he's dreamin'...)
this rap shit (is not for real)
this rap shit (is not for real)

I told 'em call me K.R.I.T., they told me change my name
don't be alarmed if you don't make it
thats just ...part of the game
besides, I ain't rap about dope, nor did I sell it
I guess the story of a country boy just ain't compellin'
A&R's searching for a hit, I just need a 'mil
couldn't afford to pay the rent, but passed up on a deal
cause...
it wasn't right, sometimes you gotta wait the storm
In a class of my own, but I was scared to raise my arm
like...
this my dream, this my life, I sacrifice it all
except my soul, and a firm belief that theres a God
watchin' him now when all the others used to doubt
feel my pain and pointed down
and said "Son, your time is now."
I think my grandma pulled some strings on the low
but thats between her and the Lord, i'll never know
For those that caught me in a spin at Complex magazine
XXL, the Vibe, and whatever in between
it's safe to say that dreams come true, I guess
don't let nobody tell you, try for yourself
just know that I once was considered just a dreamer
but i paid my dues, and turned so many doubters to believers
they used to say...

they used to say...

they used to say...

they used to say...

(he's dreamin'...)
(he's dreamin'...)
(he's not for real...)
(he's not for real...)

(he's dreamin'...)
(he's dreamin'...)
(he's not for real...)
(he's not for real...)
