[intro]
its time to take it to the other side

the side you gotta watch a&e cable television for homie
but we live this %#@!
i'm not a star

but thats a lie
i've seen a man raise his hand on the stand he testify
spoke on a homocide

amongst other things
even shared my triple beam dreams
[nas]

a project minded individual criminal tactics
us blacks kids born with birth defects, we hyperactive
mentally sex-crazed dysfunctional they describe us

they liars, the end of the day, we $#&@ing survivors
i remember watching scarface the first time
look at that big house, that porsche paid for by crime

how could i sell this poison to peoples in my mind
they dumb to destroy themselves is how i rationalise
in a !@$(ised nation, magnum 4.5 carrying

where i'm from, aint far from washington heights the cop aryan
a rookie boy the cookie didn't make no profit
a stranger to the block i damn near had to make them cop it

it only took a fiend to taste it once to say it's garbage
i brought it back to poppy, aint tryna take no losses
he focuses on my emotionless young dealer face then pauses

he gives me powder he has faith in nases
ambition's to distribute !@%!e
had additions to gold chains, mercedes benz hopes

but i'm again broke
this %#@! aint cut for me, other dealers they up their orders
barely at 62?s they already up they quotas

they out there everyday, some true hustlas for ya
i'm at it halfway, none of my customers are loyal
picturin' piping out the seats of a pathfinder

powerful pursuit for #~!!@ cash, the flash diamonds
my junior high school class, wish i stayed there
illegal entreprenuer i got my grades there

blaming society, man it wasn't made fair
i would be ivy league if america played fair
poor excuse and so i was

throwin' rocks at the pen just for the love
evil the secret life of g's
you seeing my blurry, triple beam dreams

[rick ross - chorus]
pocketful of money, parking lot full of them haters
triple beam dreamin', crib with 2 elevators

20 flat screens they got cameras every angle
dope been coming so you know the income major
rule number 1 i can't do business with a stranger

contract killers coming when i feel in danger
early nineties reminscing when i had a pager
triple beam dreams now pat riley my neighbour


[rick ross - verse 2]
$#&@ boy talking outta turn ^!$$%

in a court room spraying like a germ ^!$$%
25 on a line, them ^!$$%s dropping dimes
cooperation got them red necks dropping time

khaki suits and them ^!$$%s got to acting cute
we was all cool stacking them acura coupes
more accurately we acted as if jackin' was cool

snatching ^!$$%s out they shoes then wear their jackets to school
$#&@ boy you caught up in my dream
countin' cream on the cover of a magazine

i'm the source, got the plug with the uncut
jay-z blue magic ^!$$%, what! what!
brand new s class with a meal ticket

^!$$% cocaine white as tommy hilfiger
ralph lauren blue label as i'm gettin' high
triple beam dreamin' as the cream multiplys

$#&@ boy talking outta turn ^!$$%
'fore you sell dope there's %#@! you gotta learn ^!$$%
home invasions, ducktape

fornicating, counting money with a $#&@ face
$#&@ing (*##$es that be giving up your whereabouts
slow leaks, gotta air 'em out
kill 'em all, rolls royce ghost ^!$$% ball
phantom drop head %#@!, i had to get 'em all

^!$$%s hate but they know they never get involved
food on my plate, $#&@ 'em all like a
triple beam dreams, the ghetto's my reality
i'm from where ya hustle determines ya salary
6 figure family member, ^!$$% forget about it

low income housing, ^!$$% try to get up out it
i got a plan ^!$$% just believe in me
triple beam dreaming with this thing me
[rick ross - chorus]
pocketful of money, parking lot full of them haters
