Mr.
Criminal,
still dead before the sun
Yeah, this track right here
is dedicated to anybody
And everybody who has a dream
To be honest with you,
I don't dream too often
But back in the days I
used to daydream
And now some of these daydreams
have came true
So I just wanna let a lil
message out to everybody
If you got dreams hold on to em,
keep chasing em, yeah
Don't give up on nothing
Keep working hard for
that shit
Anythings possible just put your mind to that shit
I used to dream about getting paid,
dream about having it made
Dreams about rollin' drop tops
and Escalade
Dream about cashin' rap checks,
homie get tin' paid
Dreams of smokin' blunts
on an island
somewhere in the shade
Homie, I used to dream
of doin' rap shows
People payin' criminal to perform,
watchin' stacks grow S .A.,
hard work pays off
Now I don't have to drink so much
on my days off
I signed a contract,
followed by some hard work
Late nights in the studio,
explainin' all the hurt
We puttin' work back in the days,
most only rap about
Other fools didn't have the heart,
so they backin' out
Couple of things happened in the past,
so I'm backin' out
Haters don't get no passes
cause they actin' fast
Shit, I gotta protect my dreams,
protect my family, my homies,
and protect my green
That's what I'm talkin' about,
homie
These are motherfuckin' dreams
that came true
Like Biggie said,
it was all a dream
I turn them dreams into reality
with hard work, homie
And guess what,
you can do the same thing
Yeah, that's right, homie
Now a little success came
and everybody's hatin' sick
People think we over -sought,
they talkin' like they want a trip
People hate cause
they got no dreams
to follow other wrongs
Stuck inside their homes
with no goals,
feelin' all alone
I just came home
from two miles on the road
The yesterday we went and chilled,
had a video shoot with Bone Shit
Now tell me, if that ain't dreams comin' true
I remember a couple years ago,
I was dreamin' just like you
Now Snoop Dogg sayin'
my name on the radio
Hittin' liquor stores,
fools be recognizin' a criminal
It feels good,
that's how hard work goes
Now my name's next to Ice Cube an
d Snoop at these shows
I'm tryna make a presence in the West
It's been one of my dream
s since I was a kid
So I'm wearin' my teams,
I ain't stoppin'
Won't stop until I get what I want
Another dream that I've
accomplished
Wreckin' this shit, you can bump
Yeah, in that dream
It's thanks to High Power Entertainment
My hard work,
my hard upbringing
Givin' me all these reasons
to rap about this shit
Yeah, props to my family
Promise to everything
that motivates me in this world
Fuck the motherfuckin' government
It's dead before the
sign of Mr. Criminal
You better make them
motherfuckin' dreams come true
Armageddon's coming soon
Loyalty above everything
Dead before the sign of rest
and follow your dreams you
Mr. Criminal
