[Verse 1: Meek Mill]

I’ma chase my dream

Coming to America like Prince Akeem

I ain't never give a fuck but then I seen

High definition to get what's forever given

But nothing was never given, I build it from ground up

I started out with my basement and builded my house up

I’m rich off opportunity, money gon’ pile up

My swag on a hundred mil', how the stylist gon' style us?

Caught up in the light, caught up in the life

I see youngin on the corner with a quarter of that white

He just tryna chase his dream plus his daughter needs some wipes

And some Pampers so he don’t give a fuck about the slammer

He just tryna stay alive, clutching on his hammer

World full of problems, ain't nobody gotta answer

Mommy in the grave, daddy gettin’ high

Bills steady rollin’ in, he barely gettin’ by

Same clothes everyday, he barely gettin’ fly

Er'yday he wake, he just swear to do his job

What that is? Chasin’ dreams, time is tickin’ so it seems

On his downtime he’s spittin’ and he’s sick, his flow is mean

He just want his real chance, no reality show

But the graveyard the jail cell, reality though

Crack house was his crib, the streets fathered him though

And he ain't got no Twitter page but you can follow him though

Woah

[Chorus: Meek Mill]

Dream chaser, keep chasin'

Grind will turn into your shine, be patient

Yeah, hundred miles and runnin'

Tryna catch up to my dreams so you know I'm Forrest Gumpin'

I'm a dream chaser, dream chaser, dream chaser

Dream chaser, dream chaser, dream chaser

Dream chaser, dream chaser

[Verse 2: Beanie Sigel]

Uh, I was raised by my momma, pop used to beat her

Got a sister my age, my pop was a cheater

Gram's kept something in the pot for us to eat up

Had to open up the oven for the house to heat up

Christmas missed us, no birthdays or Easters

Used to snatch bags from Halloween trick or treaters

Hot dogs and beans, fish sticks on the weekend

Shared the same bed that my cousin used to pee in (ill)

Dreamed to be the Huxtables, would settle for the Bradys

Black and white on top of floor model with no cable (uh)

My sister used to punch me, beat me, slap me

Caught my first case stealin' cookies outta ACME (man)

Raised in South Phil', 2-4 where you can find me at

Used to kick the machines for quarters out the laundromat

Dirty little teen, going to school embarrassin'

Gas cut off, my clothes smelling like kerosene

[Chorus: Meek Mill]

Dream chaser, keep chasin'

Grind will turn into your shine, be patient

Yeah, hundred miles and runnin'

Tryna catch up to my dreams so you know I'm Forrest Gumpin'

I'm a dream chaser, dream chaser, dream chaser

Dream chaser, dream chaser, dream chaser

Dream chaser, dream chaser

[Verse 3: Meek Mill]

It all started in the basement, me, my pen and my pad

Started thinkin’ bout things I never had

Was broke as a joke, ain't never laugh

I woke up and went and got it, and now they forever mad

How can you hate me where I came from?

When just a year ago I was the same one

Them dudes you call your homies be the main one

You'd be surprised what niggas do as soon as the fame come

But I ain't worried, discouraged, I just observe it

When my dreams started to crumble, niggas deserted

Empty courtroom when my judge read my verdict

But now I'm gettin' to it, niggas act like they deserve it

Sittin' in my cell, watching my dream

Fade like Mike, fourth quarter, tie game

Shackles on my ankles and wrist, my first chains

And now it’s hard work on the menu, I thirst cream, I'm a

[Chorus: Meek Mill]

Dream chaser, keep chasin'

Grind will turn into your shine, be patient

Yeah, hundred miles and runnin'

Tryna catch up to my dreams so you know I'm Forrest Gumpin'

I'm a dream chaser, dream chaser, dream chaser

Dream chaser, dream chaser, dream chaser

Dream chaser, dream chaser
