	Story Behind the Song This song is about my quest since 1994 to make it in the music industry. The lyrics mean that everyone has dreams but only few do what it takes to make them come true. The song was written in my bedroom. The song took about three days to write. It took about an hour and a half to record in one take. Lyrics chorus In this city of dreams everybody wants to rap, dance, or sing got their mind on making that cream only few will make it others will just fake it while the rest just continue to dream Seventeen when I started to dream as I watched hip hop take root on the local scene I bought everybody's c.d. or tape some weren't great but I ain't gon' hate so I sat in my room and planned how I would make it come true solo and with Jihad too respect due I ain't forgot about you chorus See, I've been doing this thang since way back when didn't even know it was called hip hop back then in eighty-three-eighty-four I used to break, pop, and backspin used to enter in talent shows but didn't win then ten years later I started writing profusely I used to swear at times my pen was hollerin' turn loose me now five years from that date I'm dedicated got a fanbase so I guess I'm anticipated with plans to exceed the south region I wanna have more than the hot single of the season be universal sell records on Mars in other galaxies other planets revolving distant stars chorus As I dream and plot to become a star I gotta realize that the bottom ain't far many are here today and gone tomorrow years later VH-1 reporting 'bout their sorrow no time for the fast life and fast cars don't wanna be an incarcerated rap star see I'm breaking stereotypes as I'm breaking mics with the power to move the crowd all day and night it' hard for southern rappers to make it with no respect from the architects who made it just because we don't spit slang the same many believe we've got no place in the game the Bronx is making it and Queens is taking it but now the south got everybody shaking it the Bronx is making it and Queens is taking it but now the south got everybody shaking it chorus It's like for all the artist out here trying to make it, there is always some fake producer or fake manager trying to take it so be careful. chorus written by Ira Davis copyright 1999
