Ded Mic - The New York Dream lyrics

[Hook] Cause New York has the way to make you believe in yourself It makes you realize that dreams are real in this place Man i tell you, get lost in the New York dream And realize that dreams are always as great as they seem [Verse 1] I was from a small town, held down The border of Paris's grind Bouncing off the ceiling everytime i tried to leave the ground I used to cast a glance at the city of romance The feeling was intense up the tower of Eiffel But nothing, no one, not even that Would ever ease the pain No friend, no girl, nothing would match Or ever understand That since i embrased the culture man i never felt the same I found this state of mind that only Hip Hop supplies Watching breakdancers at La Defense Like we were in the Bronx Somehow made me feel like i was a part of this world Step by step, i learned the ways and got a rep The city's beauty gave me inspiration to spit a lotta texts Graffitis all over the place, spreading at pace If i had seen New York i would've been impressed Much at night i thought about Hip Hop's metropolis It's funny how the city that never sleeps be haunting my dreams [Hook] Cause New York has the way to make you believe in yourself It makes you realize that dreams are real in this place Man i tell you, get lost in the New York dream And realize that dreams are always as great as they seem [Verse 2] Now, back to the country i grew up in, nearly 15 Still seeking for the dream that kept me awake as a Young teen Spending more time at concerts than i do with my friends Showing my interest by being every rapper's fan But when i handshook KRS and hugged The Rugged Man My love for the big apple land became such a beautiful pain Starting this day i knew for sure so i achieved my goal But son please don't leave, sorry Ma' decision is final I seen the great sky scrapers in Manhattan blocks Went by all the famous spots Touring in expensive shops I seen Times Square and Central Park cruising in a trishaw I'm getting bored, f** that show me real New York ! I wanna see Emceein fiends and ghetto-blasters B-boys in the Streets with sk**s some real floor masters In my head i had built such an idealistic place Would it be possible that all my hopes would go to waste ? [Hook] Cause New York has the way to make you believe in yourself It makes you realize that dreams are real in this place Man i tell you, get lost in the New York dream And realize that dreams are always as great as they seem [Verse 3] And then, i finally saw it, reallest as can be The New York Dream... A neighbourhood filled with ambition No restriction, i could really feel the pa**ion 9 elements in action It was no longer fiction, i was finally here In the flesh, in this place where it all started and got so real I could chill in this community of love Culture so deep in my heart Directly sent from above Never enough, i flipped a coin Herc's house or 5Pointz but ended in both joints Every Hip Hop head wants to come back to the motherland To cherish it well and stand for what we represent So New Yorkers, be proud of where you're coming from Cause you have no idea what the New York Dream can mean to some [Hook] Cause New York has the way to make you believe in yourself It makes you realize that dreams are real in this place Man i tell you, get lost in the New York dream And realize that dreams are always as great as they seem Never underestimate the power of Hip Hop Culture !
