Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
She was only 17 when she left home headin' off to college
Just the clothes on her back, 40 dollars in the pocket
On the couch of a one bedroom apartment
Roommate tryna get her to pop her pussy for dollars
He was only 13, just a lookout on the corner
First he started off small, couple pills and marijuana
Now he's thinkin' he should go out on the block and see if he can get shit poppin'
He was tired of goin' in for just a little bit of profit, damn

[Pre-Chorus]
She fell in love with the ballers and bottles
He fell in love with the block and the Glock, now he totin' them choppers
Why does it seem like nobody else wanna be lawyers or doctors?
Nowadays everybody outchea tryna be dealers and models, just a thought

[Chorus]
I guess that's how it goes when it's all you know
And you ain't a dreamer, and you ain't a dreamer
I guess that's how it be when it's all you see
And you ain't a dreamer, and you ain't a dreamer

[Verse 2]
Now you can find her on a the main stage, shakin' and twerkin' and workin' so hard for them singles
20 for her to get naked, money she see for the takin', she gonna take it
Been dancin' so long, she don't know when she'll be graduatin'
Friends tryna tell her she trippin', she tellin' them to stop hatin'
3 years later, boy he grows into a man
Got a pocket full of money, 9 mili in his hand
Momma prayin', tryna make him understand
That they just wanna put him in the system, it's too late, now he convicted, damn

[Pre-Chorus]
She fell in love with the ballers and bottles
He fell in love with the block and the Glock, now he totin' them choppers
Why does it seem like nobody else wanna be lawyers or doctors?
Nowadays everybody outchea tryna be dealers and models, just a thought

[Chorus]
I guess that's how it goes when it's all you know
And you ain't a dreamer, and you ain't a dreamer
I guess that's how it be when it's all you see
And you ain't a dreamer, and you ain't a dreamer

[Bridge]
She never dreamt about goin' to college
Choosin' her major, gettin' some knowledge
He never dreamt about livin' for something
All that he knew was he was tired of the struggle
She never knew that, she'd ever do that
Now she addicted to the money and the new bags
And now he wish that, wish he could get back
All the time he lost, now he pays the cost

[Pre-Chorus]
She fell in love with the ballers and bottles
He fell in love with the block and the Glock, now he totin' them choppers
Why does it seem like nobody else wanna be lawyers or doctors?
Nowadays everybody outchea tryna be dealers and models, just a thought

[Chorus]
I guess that's how it goes when it's all you know
And you ain't a dreamer, and you ain't a dreamer
I guess that's how it be when it's all you see
And you ain't a dreamer, and you ain't a dreamer

[Outro]
Oh shit. Another day, another God damn dollar, man. Here we go. All you gotta do is ask for it I would dip into my last for it. And if you took a trip around, the world, my nigga better have your passport. Oui oui, baby. Shit, oui oui to you too
