Hook] x2 Look how far we came Through the fire, I stood knowing we would reign Feels like yesterday when all this was a dream Through these Maybach curtains I see how life has changed [Intro: Meek Mill] I think I'mma dedicate this one To all the people that didn't think I would make it here Dreamchasers

[ Verse 1: Meek Mill] Yeah, it was all a dream On the corner servin' all them fiends Me and a bunch of my yeah, we was all a team The system labeled us killas, but momma called us kings Walked through the hall of a prison, now it's the hall of fame And people got the nerve to ask why I wore all these chains When I was booked, they had me shackled to the wall of shame So I'm just representin', better yet just reminiscin' Put down on that Bentley truck, I used to want the Expedition Now it's bigger things, grew up and got bigger dreams Cause in my hood, try to smoke you just like nicotine And this money s$1t ain't funny, all the s$1t it brings You bound to lose your family and your friends, boy this shit is mean And birthdays was the worst days Last week I made a hundred on a Thursday And Club Live got me sinnin' on a church day Stevie J all on the mic, screamin' out my birthplace Philly, we back!

[Verse 2: Nas] I'm blunted - You wanna see life's meaning? On the radio, Al Green, while Mom's cleanin' Mom's singing along with the songs And shortly I learned the words to 'em Nerf balls, I threw 'em But now I'm a perfectionist to a fault like Jesus Judgin' his own miracles, but he won't cause he automatic I'm like an old blues singer living in the bottle Whose wife left him down in the bottom Writing songs is how we solvin' the problem My liquid money's a hypnotist to your Mrs Lay back like I'm in the chair of a dentist Nasir relentless, a freak like Prince is Mystique like Sade Soon as I enter people, point and see my anointment I ain't tryna do too much Same time, I ain't no bum not doin' enough But I ain't tryna do no dumb s%#t, chasin' my tail in a circle I made it so I'm chillin' now Transparent ceiling now

[[ Verse 3: Rick Ross] The chorus cinematic, going back to Cali Young street late 80's suede Bally's Jewels like Rick the Ruler, looking like I ripped the jeweler I could cut a check, make some people hit your shooter Domino effect, you in that magic city Where all they do is flex; call it Milli Vanilli Coming from the bottom, my lil' nigga from Philly Young legend outta Queens, take over city to city Honor thou mother, go to war for my brother Giving sufficient funds to significant others Went from poor now women screamin' for my signature More war came from the bottom so I know the war Never worn, always on, y'all luke warm Talking cash over salads, heavy croûtons Cuban Linx's equivalent to having suits on Stretch Maybachs 'til they bring the coupes on

About The Song The true theme of the song comes out in hook. arismixtapes.com

"look how far we came" Meek Mill started out as a regular street thug. entertainmentwallpaper.com

"Through the fire, I stood knowing we would reign" After all he went through setbacks, critics, obstacles, and even going to jail, he ends up being one of the best rappers in the game today.

"Feels like yesterday when all this was a dream" He still does not believe he is where he is today, it hasn't sunk in for him yet.

"Through these Maybach curtains I see how life has changed" Meek now drives an extremely expensive car. The car's window has curtains. content/uploads/2012/08/Brabus-Maybach- Seatback-Screens-1024x768.jpg

Literary Devices Hyperbole "Through the fire, I stood knowing we would reign" He did not literally stand through fire, he is comparing everything he has been through to standing through a fire.

Simile "Lay back like I'm in the chair of a dentist" He is relaxing and chilling just like he would at the dentist.

Allusion "Yeah it was all a dream" He is referring to a song by Biggie.

Why I choose this song mainly because it is one of my favorite songs. It's a great song to listen to before a game. Also it is a great motivational song. It basically saying to never give up on your dreams.

FOLLOW YA DREAMS YOO!!!
