Chorus:
Street dreams are made of these
Niggas push Bimmers and 300 E's
A drug dealer's destiny is reaching a key
Everybody's looking for something
Street dreams are made of these
Shorties on they knees for niggas with big cheese
Who am I to disagree?
Everybody's looking for something

NY Rappers in the 90s were majority, very much far from ignorant....Nas came from the same "school of thought" as Rakim, Tragedy Khadafi, AZ, Talib Kweli and other rappers that were influenced by the 5%ers, NOI, Malachi Z. York, and others int he NYC black conscious community in the later 80s and early 90s. It was street niggas that were "kicking knowledge" and sharing information with each other about self, while still going out robbing and drug dealing for tax free money.. Hip Hop was all about knowledge....even Smack URL the battle rap league, stands for "S.treets M.usic A.rt C.ulture K.nowledge". It was definitely an interesting era in Hip Hop when there genuinely real substance and profound poetry in raps--while still maintaining a hood appeal, and attracting real gangstas to listen.

There's something about this track that makes me tear up a lil. I guess it reminds me of the 1990's (with the boy band symphony), for the time it was released was in the heat of a lot of confusing beef, whilst at the same time, the genre itself was also at its peak. When Nas said Hip Hop is Dead, he never meant it literally. He meant the culture behind what the music spoke had died; the streets had changed since the 1990's, thus, from what artists were seeing in physical form was changing the lyrical form of their music. The streets had become a little less raw, and from this song, I see it as the last triumph of 'real street lyrical talk'. One Love.
