Adam Calhoun - The Dollar Lyrics

#Adam Calhoun

Twenty years 
Twenty years ago 
Man I have been at this for twenty years 
Twenty years ago first show I was twenty years old 
Time flies I don't know where it goes 
Pulled up bumpin J through the speakers of a hoppdie 
Now it’s barricades and black SUVS 
Time flies when you're miserable 
First album was a CD now everything is digital 
Can't believe I lived through everything I've been through 
House filled with black dudes I slept in the living room 
Late night studio 
Rapping in the basement 
Missed out on my son as a kid didn't raise him 
Caught a few cases got locked up in state pen 
I remember Tamen was eight then. 
I was poor sleeping on the floor it’s depressing 
I knew I wanted more I guess it was a blessing 
Now I am writing album number four in the west wing 

Did a bunch of tours 
I can afford the best things 
I went from broke as a joke to rich as it gets 
I went from deadbeat dad to raising my kid 
I went from hell in a cell to be able to live 
 went from poor to wealth and I hate this 

A Dollar and a Dream it ain't always what it seems 
So be careful what you wish for 
(x2)

Life long friends that will stab you in the back 
There the first ones that will ask for some cash
I can't even talk to my Dad without his hand out 
I was least likely to succeed I’m the man now 
Ten cars in the polebarn I don't even drive 
Four wheelers dirt bikes I don't even ride 
I just sit in this chair, blank stare look outside 
That’s a hell of a price to pay for this life 
Matter fact you know I've been to hell and back twice 
Angels stuck by my side that I should have made my wife 
But I spend all my time online looking at pictures of instagram models thats my addiction 
Fly em out give em free this aint free 
Stay up all night lose sleep get what I need Its a disease
You ain't paying them to stay you paying them to leave 

A Dollar and a Dream it ain't always what it seems 
So be careful what you wish for 
A Dollar and a Dream it ain't always what it seems 
Be careful what you wish for 

All I see is unfamiliar faces 
Did my song racism thought I wouldnt say it 
On tour California called me racist 
Boycotted shows tryin to keep me off stages 
I just keep my middle finger in the air 
I’m the reason that I'm here are we clear 
Your in the rearview I can't even hear you 
Double what I did in year one and year two 
So here's to oklyrics.com
Never being satisfied, always feeling sad inside 
Tell me whose down to ride feelin like a homicide 
Always gonna speak my mind 
At Least I tell the truth, tell me why you always lie. 

Im done man, i'm not good with this sad rap 
That's just how I feel It's like 
a dollar and a dream it ain't always what it seems 
It's like a dollar and a dream it ain't always what it seems 
Be careful what you wish for
