50 cent dreams

Verse 1

Corner store light flickers on the wet block

Pocket full of nothin' but a crooked clock

Learned the game before I learned to tie my shoes

Every open door was one more I couldn't use

Pre-Chorus

(Doo-wop, doo-wop) voices rising from the radio

(Doo-wop, doo-wop) singing sweet but the streets say no

Chorus

Hush now baby don't you shed a tear

I'm the one they whisper when the night gets near

Got a heart full of fire and a head full of schemes

Faded dreams and fifty-cent jeans

Verse 2

Mama said be good but good don't pay the rent

Every choice I made was heaven's money spent

Traded all my Sundays for a Friday crown

Built my name from the ground up in this town

Pre-Chorus

(Doo-wop, doo-wop) harmonies ringing down the lane

(Doo-wop, doo-wop) sweet tune through the acid rain

Chorus

Hush now baby don't you shed a tear

I'm the one they whisper when the night gets near

Got a heart full of fire and a head full of schemes

Faded dreams and fifty-cent jeans

Bridge

Round and round the needle spins my whole life song

Wrong notes but I sing 'em like they're right all along

Chorus

Hush now baby don't you shed a tear

I'm the one they whisper when the night gets near

Got a heart full of fire and a head full of schemes

Faded dreams and fifty-cent jeans
