| By the time I get to Phoenix
|
| She’ll be risin'
|
| How you doin', I’m Mr. Dream Merchant
|
| You’re message sounded kinda urgent
|
| I dropped everything for you playa and stopped workin'
|
| Came right over, copped a spot on your sofa
|
| Tapped you on your shoulder
|
| Now your hard times are over
|
| Or maybe, I know I might sound a little crazy
|
| But many people last, every lick tho, be lately
|
| I’m doing ya’ll a favor like
|
| I shine a little bit spotlight
|
| Watch ya’ll niggas just stay actin right
|
| Always asking me for more of the love
|
| But when I settle the score, you wanna settle for four
|
| You say 9-Sixes bring more bitches
|
| And more bitches constitute having more figures
|
| And more figures mean an entourage and mo' niggas
|
| Bloodless actions
|
| Until I have to break out the scissors, and cut you off
|
| I toughed you up cuz your style was soft
|
| Stick you to a man, here from a spot of the loaf
|
| I’m the stick off your shoulder that you just brushed off
|
| Sold your life to the Merchant, now your soul’s in the lost
|
| It calls to be Coca when you fizz out like soda
|
| Capped your salary chunks till you get a little older
|
| Mr. Dream Merchant
|
| I sell dreams, I sell schemes
|
| Said you anything for a bite of that cream
|
| But once you get what you get
|
| It’s not as good as it seems, so
|
| Just open up your eyes (your eyes)
|
| Ayyo, I’m Mr. Dream Merchant
|
| I sell dreams, I sell schemes
|
| Said you anything for a bite of that cream
|
| But once you get what you get
|
| It’s not as good as it seems, so
|
| Just open up your eyes (your eyes)
|
| Okay, so now you ‘bout to blast off
|
| For the first time in your life
|
| Get your cash off, burn a charge like hash, paw
|
| Live your life kinda fast, huh
|
| Dodged a rabbit, the advocate
|
| Please don’t make me laugh son
|
| I build careers that last, smashed the ass
|
| Of the anxious troops who cross my path
|
| Now they really gassed
|
| Broke down the system, cash
|
| Make this hip-hop a way of the past
|
| And I’m supposed to be glad
|
| Suckas like you is a dime a dozen
|
| And they be rhyming, cousin, you lying cousin
|
| Might thug and get a rep and I helped you out
|
| Favored your spout but now people tired as hell
|
| Not in awe of the good talk, the lure
|
| Nine hundred and ninety nine thousand ways to make your whole body part
|
| From your soul that I control
|
| Mr. Dream Merchant wins
|
| That’s how the story is told
|
| I’m Mr. Dream Merchant
|
| I sell dreams, I sell schemes
|
| Said you anything for a bite of that cream
|
| But once you get what you get
|
| It’s not as good as it seems, so
|
| Just open up your eyes
|
| Ayyo, I’m Mr. Dream Merchant
|
| I sell dreams, I sell schemes
|
| Said you anything for a bite of that cream
|
| But once you get what you get
|
| It’s not as good as it seems, so
|
| Just open up your eyes (your eyes) |
