Dollar and a Dream II
The Warm Up
LYRICS
Hey, hey, yea, yea,
Got a dolla and a dream
Yea
I got a dolla and a dream, real niggas on my team
Everything ain't what it seems
Yea
I got a dolla and a dream, hey
[clears throat]
Ay, I got a dolla and a dream, real niggas on my team
Everything ain't what it seems
Niggas hatin' but I love them even though they trynna scheme
But I'm past that, a niggas stock is raising like the Nastec
They same I'm the future but yet I'm giving niggas flashbacks
Of better days, when you ain't have to settle for whatever played
I represent the struggle nigga I say what they never say
Whenever they, spit that bullshit they spittin,
This that pool pit I'm hittin niggas with the gospel
Hostile with them hoes, I got a dolla in my pocket, plus a dream
Yea you laughing my nigga but everything ain't what it seems
What it means to know your momma or your father on that pipe
On that hard white, I'll tell you what them scars like
I'm speaking through these bars like a nigga in the jail
Tired of sifting through my mails I feel like Cartwright, bills
Forreal, a nigga I'll
Just let me do the talking men I know how niggas feel
I got a dolla and a dream, real niggas on my team
Everything ain't what it seems
I got a dolla and a dream, real niggas on my team
Everything ain't what it seems
I got a dolla and a dream, real niggas on my team
Everything ain't what it seems
I got a dolla and a dream, real niggas on my team
Everything ain't what it seems
Yeah
I got a dolla and a dream, real niggas on my team
Everything ain't what it seems
Every lady ain't no hoe, and every bitch ya'll ain't no queen
Every nigga ain't no dog, and every nigga ain't no king
Shit be happening for a reason, everything is everything
Every nigga can't dunk, so white man can jump
They shooting niggas fo' they even tell em put their hands up!
Crooked cops, got a nigga scared to drive
Probably thinking that I'm slanging man I see it in their eyes
But inside of my pocket is a dolla plus a dream
Yea you swear your girl is faithful everything ain't what it seems
See I seen how she glance and look away like she want it
I ain't saying I'm a fuck her but I could if I wanted
Know it hurts that she flirts with a nigga this is worst
I bet if I was to hit it man, I wouldn't be the first
This is church, this is gospel
Spit it like I get from the Bible, for your survival
I got a dolla and a dream, real niggas on my team
Everything ain't what it seems
I got a dolla and a dream, real niggas on my team
Everything ain't what it seems
I got a dolla and a dream, real niggas on my team
Everything ain't what it seems
I got a dolla and a dream
Yeah I got a dolla and a dream
Check it
Ay Salle, I know I ain't been answering your calls,
But shit, let me explain-
It's because times been hard, been runnin around trynna find a job
I hear my phone ringing in the morning, 9 o'clock
And it's you, can't even front I press ignore
I still got cha letters laying in my dresser draw
You telling me about all the things you did for me
When I was broke, you sent me doe and that was big for me
See you was there every year when I needed you,
And you were so quick to give I had to be with you
Remember when I used to call you on your phone line
I knew it was official when my momma cosigned
But in no time, a nigga graduated
I hit the real world, baby girl I'm sad to say it
But I was using you, you gave a nigga major stacks
And I know one day in my heart one day that I'm gon pay you back"
I got a dolla and a dream
Everything ain't what it seems 
Видеоклипы
the best version out of all three
absolutely
Right
agreed
alejandrothefader I bet you feel like you the shit but boy you can't out fart me.....that line kills part 3 for me
TPAB GKMC cant agree, i think its 3 honestly
This mixtape changed my life. Literally was blasting Drake , Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy ect. Back in 09 in High School. Downloaded 'The Warm Up' by accident looking for Drake's tape online. By the end of the week there was nothing else I wanted to listen to. This tape put me on to actual Hip Hop, started researching the greats / underground rappers and discovered better music. All because of this one tape..and this track will forever be my shit!
Same thing happened to me. I use to get him and drake confused and then I went on RUclips to find out more about him. I found who dat and then he later put out Friday night lights. He been growing ever since.
Man broo you ain't lyin real recognize real, ain't fo everybody
It’s like we lived the same life bruh. I was dating a chick from NYC and she put me on to j Cole and I was like WTF is this! This is fire! Then I discovered what hip hop was. The nostalgia I get when the piano keys start going is insane.
@@herfvourite4791 my nigga 💯
This story is golden. Im glad to hear it bro
Underrated classic.
LaRusso #FACTS
True
True
Don't worry the real cole fans here💯
This resonates with everyone out there who's broke but wanna do big things in life.
For real
2037 still bumping to this! My dude cole! held me down thru some tough times man.
Real talk
Hope 2042 is treating you well man 💯
Time travel is crazy 😂😂
Loved this song in high school, but it took me until I was out of college to realize Sally in the last verse is about Sally mae. Genius from a young cole
Can u pls explain?
@@youngsinatra8865 Sallie Mae is the person who provides you student loans. So Cole is trying to ignore Sallie Mae's calls because he doesn't have the money to pay back the loans at the moment. But he used it as a metaphor so it appears that he's talking about a girl
@@kendallwhitfield5504 oh okay thanks. Cole is a lyrical genius 🔥
@@youngsinatra8865 Yes he is!
josh swenson as a kid with student loans, goddamn this hits different
NOT GON LIE BUT THIS IS MY BEST J.COLE PROJECT I RESONATE WITH ON A PERSONAL LEVEL. ITS MY GRIND MODE ALBUM
This song takes me back to 2013 when I first discovered J. Cole. This album highlights a period of my life. It's cool to 'feel' like I'm back in the past for a cool four minutes and twenty-one seconds.
Tell me about it man. Throwback.
"You was so quick to give , I had to be with you" I love this last verse... he really made a loan sound like he girl. I love J Cole for real
this album never gets old (:
Spoolin_ Sti mixtape
hits are for the album and general crowd and mixtapes are for the hood and true fans
Mixtapes are free
Might be my favorite Cole song ever
Man this song is the literal telling of my life at the moment. I use to listen to this when I was younger, little did I know I would find myself living these words in the future. Which gives this song so much weight. Cole, Thank You, sometimes it gets me through the day.
Just writing this brings me tears, but your song gives me hope. Thank You, so much.
Hope you're ok, man. Keep It up!
Salute homie 🔥🤙🏾
I got a prayer and a dream🙇🙏🙌👏😘
How does cole never get old🔥🔥🔥
talent like Cole and Kendrick never get old, whereas these new untalented "rappers" have songs that hit for 5 plays until everyone realizes how bad they are.
Man I had this album on repeat in first year university in a new city, everything felt so optimistic in 2010, now look at the world!
Man this shit is nothing more than pure Motivation! Dopest mixtape ever!!
Ayy havent listened in a min. When I was younger didnt know much about the Stock market. Just peeped that “a nigga stock is rising like the NASDAQ” line lmfaooo fuckin fire. Cole was and will always be the truth. Glad Jay noticed his potential in these days I miss them days OD...
2018 still 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾
This mixtape was the greatest album of j cole
The voice at the end of this connecting to his “Brackets” song is just perrrrrfect!
