歌词
[Intro]
嘿，这里是J.cole，你的教导主任
Yeah, hey, Cole world
我赚着票子但也怀着梦想，这就是我的全部
[Hook]
只要跟钱有关，我就会尽力争取
Hey, I gotta dollar and a dream, that's all a ***** got
心无杂念，只有钱与梦想
So if it's 'bout that cream, then I'm all up in the spot
与你同行，让你感受我的痛楚
I got a dollar and a dream, just a dollar and a dream
须思考的东西太多，不知道怎么扛下的
[Verse 1]
不成熟的思想与社会的邪恶将我置于身于黑暗
Cole, walk with a *****, I give you my pain
生活已不能更糟了，Stevie也摘下了他的墨镜（Stevie Wonder,汽车城唱片旗下一位盲人歌手）
So much on my mind, I wonder how it fit in my brain
希望仍未出现，而我已经无法忍耐
Scattered thoughts, dark secrets lead me to a blacker heart
我周围的人也都被黑暗吞噬，迷失在药品中
Life can't get any worse, Stevie with his glasses off
清楚事情变得越来越糟，脑子也越来越乱
'Cause I still don't see hope, lookin' for a quick fix
勉强将信任置于街头，十多年来也与帮派混熟
When everyone I see is broke, get lost in **** smoke
生活极其失落，只有上帝仍在关怀我
Knowin' it make it worse, thoughts roam uncontrollably
他们说过不会背叛我，但我受到了秋天般寒心的背叛
Barely trustin' ******, over a decade they been knowin' me
告诉我，贫困潦倒的时候该怎么办
S**t, life at the bottom, nobody but God got em'
生活的压力让人抬不起头
They say he wouldn't leave me, yet I'm fallin' like it's Autumn
你会失去希望，内心不再温暖吗
Tell me, what do you do just when you're on your last dollar
不再奋斗，增长的只是年龄
And the stress of this mess you in can make your ass holla?
或者不再追逐名利，而去追逐初心
Do you fold, grow bitter and grow cold?
无论是天使还是恶魔，都眼睁睁看着小弟为王
No longer fightin', now the only thing you grow is old
J.cole万岁！
Or do you flip that ******' dollar to a dream?
初生牛犊们不怕虎
Whether a scholar or a fiend, watch a pawn become a king
心地善良才能被人尊敬
Cole!
贫困中能吸取经验
[Bridge]
有权势有梦想，要知道那得福气好
Young ***** with his jeans low
这就是全部
Nice guy, just got a mean flow
只要有钱，我能付诸所有
Never seen rich but he's seen poor
我拥有梦想和钱，但仅仅只是梦想和钱
Mr. Dollar and a Dream in case she know
准备就绪，整装待发，把你吓得抽筋
[Hook]
赚的盆满钵满，光鲜亮丽，一打一可以吊锤你们
That's all a ***** got
你淘汰了，因为遇见了我，小人只会在背后说坏话
So if it's 'bout that cream, then I'm all up in the spot
我想要买个商场，但这穷的连p都没有
I got a dollar and a dream, just a dollar and a dream
以上就是我的经济来源
[Verse 2]
兄弟们把钱洗干净后我也就不装了
Yeah, armed and ready, you ****** strung out, you spaghetti
我经营着这座黑暗之城
Ya paper, confetti, small time, ya'll on one, I'm on mine
我也曾经像你一样忙碌
You logged off 'cause I'm online, small talk from small minds
老铁我的包是Louis的，好好看好好学
I wanna buy the mall but there ain't s**t in this small town
我歌词写得更走心，更用心
This where I get my dough
就像莫扎特与Humphrey Bogart的合体（Humphrey Bogart：传奇男演员）
My ****** make sure the money right and then I rip the show
努力奉献社会，生活对我来说只是虚无缥缈的
I run the town they tried to call me underground
黑子们打我主意的时，我就预见到了随之而来的恐怖
I spun around like, you wish
很难找出身边的告密者
Homie my backpack Louis, now watch just how I do this
但我透过表象，看见本质
I got the nerds rappin' hard s**t, dummies rappin' smart s**t
当他们重新开始计划时，我直接上去截胡
Mozart meets Humphrey Bogart with this from the heart s**t
我为了那个机会，正在扰乱你们的所有计划
Play your part, life is but a dream for me
我希望有人能辅助我，但他不能比我聪明
I get a flash of nightmares when ****** scheme on me
击垮你的信心让你不能超越我
It's hard to see my enemies, who infiltrated my team
你也不会像我一样厉害，只能默默羡慕
I take a step back and notice that things ain't what they seem
你没有我的优点，但你有我的缺点
That's when a ***** refocus, yeah I turn on them high beams
听好了，虚伪，孤独的家伙们，我是如你所见般光鲜亮丽
I got that red dot waitin', I'm wastin' your whole regime
我没咋和家人联系，但依然能经常从我妈口中听到的大名
I wish a ***** would, boy you can't out-smart me
你不知道我没关系，但你得知道Kay（Kay：女歌手）
I let you feel like you the s**t, but boy you can't out-fart me
她也和我一样努力，我都很崇拜她
Ya never have it, I know you want what I got
今年订个小目标，先挣它个一百万
But ***** you ain't me, but you are what I'm not
我一旦赚到钱，妈妈也会感到高兴
And that's a phony ass, lonely ass, Cole is what you know me as
一直想你们但又不敢打电话给你
But we far from homies, if you know my mama, you know me
想着与你们经历的时光
If ya don't then well I'm sorry, you should get to know Kay
想着那个她，想着我的兄弟
Man she been workin' too hard, I should send her a bouquet
因为一路上我们共度难关，我儿豁
My goal this year is a real one, gonna stack a million
从来没告诉你们我压力有多大，那是真的累
And as soon as I do, Mama that 9 to 5 is through
但我那么努力是为了谁？为了粉丝，为了兄弟
And I know I ain't been callin', but I'm thinkin' 'bout you
我的艰苦有些人一辈子也体会不到
And all the s**t that you been through
面包车，公交车，飞机上我都在忙着工作，不能松懈
My girl and then my brother too
累的有时候都会忘了小姐的名字
'Cause this life gets hard on this road, yeah it's true
有时我也摇摇头告诉自己要随时振作
I don't never tell you how much I be stressin', but I do
而且心中的天使告诉我要快速前行
But I suck it up for who? my fans, and my mans
生活不易！明日复明日，明日何其多
Who probably never ever had this type of lifestyle in they plans
意识变得模糊不堪，希望上帝能听见我的祈求
Hoppin' in and out of vans, on the buses, on the planes
那些为我默默祈祷的人，我知道你们的苦心
Gettin' brain from a ***** and thinkin' "Goddamn, what's her name?"
所以我不能失败，你可以坚信我不会失败
Sometimes I just shake my head and tell myself this is a shame
J.cole万岁
And then my other side kick in like, "*****, don't be so ******' lame"
初生牛犊不怕虎
Dang, what a life, another day, another night
心地善良才会被尊敬
At times this s**t is all blurry, pray and hope that God heard me
贫困中能吸取经验
Just for those prayin' for me, man I know that y'all worry
雨露均沾那得靠福气好
But I ain't never failed and you can bet I never will
我赚着票子但也怀着梦想，这就是我的全部
Cole!
只要跟钱有关，我就会尽力争取
[Bridge]
我拥有梦想和钱，但仅仅只是梦想和钱
Young ***** with his jeans low
因为这就是生活，永远坚信自己还活着
Nice guy, just got a mean flow
看，他们在践踏我的果实
Never seen rich but he's seen poor
看看他们的恶劣行为
Mr. Dollar and a dream in case she know
看看他们的卑鄙心理
[Hook]
梦想与金钱并存
Hey, I gotta dollar and a dream, that's all a ***** got
（Dollar and a Dream三部曲）
So if it's 'bout that cream, then I'm all up in the spot
I got a dollar and a dream, just a dollar and a dream
[Outro]
Hey, 'cause ***** that's life, and trust me I'm livin'
Look what a ***** made out the s**t that I was given
Look what a ***** made out
Look what a ***** made out
Got a dollar and a dream
