Mr. Dream Merchant - 9th Wonder

By the time I get to Phoenix

She’ll be risin'

How you doin', I’m Mr. Dream Merchant

You’re message sounded kinda urgent

I dropped everything for you playa and stopped workin'

Came right over, copped a spot on your sofa

Tapped you on your shoulder

Now your hard times are over

Or maybe, I know I might sound a little crazy

But many people last, every lick tho, be lately

I’m doing ya’ll a favor like

I shine a little bit spotlight

Watch ya’ll niggas just stay actin right

Always asking me for more of the love

But when I settle the score, you wanna settle for four

You say 9-Sixes bring more bitches

And more bitches constitute having more figures

And more figures mean an entourage and mo' niggas

Bloodless actions

Until I have to break out the scissors, and cut you off

I toughed you up cuz your style was soft

Stick you to a man, here from a spot of the loaf

I’m the stick off your shoulder that you just brushed off

Sold your life to the Merchant, now your soul’s in the lost

It calls to be Coca when you fizz out like soda

Capped your salary chunks till you get a little older

Mr. Dream Merchant

I sell dreams, I sell schemes

Said you anything for a bite of that cream

But once you get what you get

It’s not as good as it seems, so

Just open up your eyes (your eyes)

Ayyo, I’m Mr. Dream Merchant

I sell dreams, I sell schemes

Said you anything for a bite of that cream

But once you get what you get

It’s not as good as it seems, so

Just open up your eyes (your eyes)

Okay, so now you ‘bout to blast off

For the first time in your life

Get your cash off, burn a charge like hash, paw

Live your life kinda fast, huh

Dodged a rabbit, the advocate

Please don’t make me laugh son

I build careers that last, smashed the ass

Of the anxious troops who cross my path

Now they really gassed

Broke down the system, cash

Make this hip-hop a way of the past

And I’m supposed to be glad

Suckas like you is a dime a dozen

And they be rhyming, cousin, you lying cousin

Might thug and get a rep and I helped you out

Favored your spout but now people tired as hell

Not in awe of the good talk, the lure

Nine hundred and ninety nine thousand ways to make your whole body part

From your soul that I control

Mr. Dream Merchant wins

That’s how the story is told

I’m Mr. Dream Merchant

I sell dreams, I sell schemes

Said you anything for a bite of that cream

But once you get what you get

It’s not as good as it seems, so

Just open up your eyes

Ayyo, I’m Mr. Dream Merchant

I sell dreams, I sell schemes

Said you anything for a bite of that cream

But once you get what you get

It’s not as good as it seems, so

Just open up your eyes (your eyes)
