Bow Wow

{Verse 1}
I had a homie named Tony 16, 6'2
Headed to the NBA straight from High School
My nigga has his ball game on lock
But at the same time he was in love with the block
All the stuff that came wit it the drugs and the guns, the gangs the slang and all the funds
He just got a letter of detent fron the Cavaliers saying how they love him and they wish he was
there
He had it made like special-ed about to get the bread
But chose to do something dumb instead
Go to war with the crew on the other side of town
And was more ready and Tony got laided down
He ain't even have a chance
Died before the ambulance even got to him
So many went through him
I hate to tell the story but that's how it is
Growing up in the hood as a kid
{Chorus}
When you got big dreams
Don't listen to what nobody say and don't let nobody turn you away
When you got big dreams
Keep your eyes on the prize don't fall to the way side
When you got big dreams
Don't listen to what nobody say and don't let nobody turn you away
When you got big dreams
Keep your eyes on the prize don't fall to the way side reach for the sky
{Verse 2}
I knew a girl named Gina that was a hell of a singer
And everybody fell in love with her when they seen her
Babygirl was on the verge of signing a big deal
18 and life looked so so real
She was stuck with a dude that was all bad news
And all he ever did was give baby the blues
