Young Jeezy - Dreamin' ft. Keyshia Cole 

My dad was murdered in 2002 & I was 19 & one of my dreams was to go to a HBCU & to graduate the top of my class & I did it..

My mother left me and my siblings in a shelter. I am still here, got my own. I made it… still here… still achieving! Thank you Lord 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I am grateful

Still listening in 2024 who ever reading this god bless you in don’t ever give up on your goals in life

She asked the last kid, “what you wanna be when you grow up?” He replied, “I just wanna be alive.” I felt that. Everyone wants the money, fame, and nice professions, but life is the most important thing. What a legend 👌🏾👌🏾🚀🚀🐐🐐🔥🔥

I lost my dad to a house fire November 2nd. He made it out but the smoke is what did it. Our last conversation the day before. He told me to always keep moving forward because life goes on. This was one of his favorite songs. The realest man I’ve ever known. I sit and wonder why did things happens the way they did. Why won’t he meet my kids, why won’t he see me get married, why won’t he see me get my high school diploma, why he couldn’t be there to see me getting accepted to the colleges I applied too. I listen to his songs and I hear his voice. I forever love you dad.

I cried to this. I grew up in rough Detroit. Getting jumped everyday as a kid for no reason, Stayed getting picked on.. my grades started dropping in middle school I felt dumb would get called dumb mom didn’t care, She would just look at my report card and just throw it away. I dropped out in 8th grade, Started breaking into houses, stealing, didnt feel like my life had no meaning fast forward a few years at 16 my dad that was barley there steeped up and took all my 5 siblings in away from our mom. Dad gave me purpose really sat me down and told me all the adversaries I would go thru as a young man and to look the other way just stay focused and keep your head in them books. Dad put me back in school. And my first card marking my dumbass made the honor roll!!! two years later I graduated with honors😭 Here I am now at 28 educated making 65k a year living in my own condo with a nice whip in the garage and I’m striving next year to make a 100k thank god keep dreaming y’all

This song hit you hard when you ain’t heard In a while

This song put chillis all over me true talent Kesha voice is fire

2023, this song still brings me back to a state of grace and gratitude 🙏🏿

I still cry to every word of this song. God didn’t Bring me this far for nothing 🙏🏽

DAMN I MISS THEM TOGETHER!! THE ♎ CONNECTION WE NEVER KNEW WE NEEDED😢

I was a single mama, My son Dad died of an overdose, But through the Grace of GOD, I raised a entrepreneur owner of Barbershop& Autobody Shop Thank You King JESUS💕

this song just gives me motivation. my mother and father being drugs addicts and my grandmother overdosing on medication when I was 7 I had to take care of my self, then being in foster care doing drugs and getting drunk, not going to school, one day I asked myself what would my grandmother say if she was here? after that day I've started going to school and getting my life back , today i'm 17 with a 3.4 GPA I've been accepted to do a project in Guatemala this summer and I've found a mother who's my everything, damn I must be dreaming never would I thought my life would be like this never give up!

what a positive message this song kept me sane while being in hell in iraq and Afghanistan. I'm still alive and getting closer to my dreams.

Keysha made it so soulful

Y'all, this generation will never understand this song and this man right here. They got cardi and other trash songs about how they're rich and how they have it all, no songs about the struggle like this man had. We were blessed for music like this !

Shouts to anyone struggling. You're stronger than you think

I just want to be alive 2020 anybody

This song still makes me cry EVERYTIME! I came SOOO FAR 😫😩💕

I jus wanna be alive, The realest shit I ever heard from a 4th grader

Listening to this in 2019..... Let your dreams come true. Stay positive and work hard.

This song hit so close to heart 😢🔥 I just get high and think about life close my eyes and picture me doing good how far I came from the hood and the streets

Such a gem. Still get chills ❤💯🙌🏽

This song is dedicated to anybody out there that got some dreams. Don't give up on your dreams real talk!🎧🎶🔥💈💯

This song for me was like his DMX Slippin.... Just raw and real! Not enough credit was given on this track I feel

This is Jezzy at his best, and Keisha killed it haunting melody

This song doesn't get old.

KEYSHIA VOCALS MADE THIS SO REAL 🙌YEEZY VOICE SHIT HIT DIFFERENT WHEN YOU'RE REALLY GOIMG THRU THE EMOTIONS IN THIS SONG🙌💯ONE OF THE BEST COLABS HANDS DOWN!! 🙌💯

Keyshia Cole made this song really drip. The year of our Lord 2019 and this song still makes me emotional af

People just don’t make real music like this . Shout out to jeezy for giving us this

I think this is one of the best songs ever written. It makes me cry almost every time I think of it. We had a lot more than others; but things sometimes were tight. I think about me and my friends sharing clothes when we were couch surfing or some dumb teen stuff. From living in my car, to having a salary job now and feeling safe- life is a roller coaster.

That lil boy gave me chills "I just wanna be alive " I felt that

Damn keysha you killing dem vocals

Cousin passed away this morning.. this was her cut man. Thanks for making such a beautiful song and I hope everyone who hear this song stay blessed and safe!

It’s 2023 and this song is still well felt! My life.

The Lil dude said "I jus wanna be alive" Lawd! 🙏 Keyshia n Jeezy did this shit right here ! Dreamin

keysia's vocals on this jawn will be forever fire

It’s so crazy this is my first time since the video shoot, 13 YEARS AGO! I will always love this song not just bc I was in the video, but bc my home church was apart of this amazing piece! It brought the aesthetic light and vision into real life! I’m tearing up looking at my young self in that video and who I’ve become now, a successful business entrepreneur 🥹🙏🏾🤍

Amazing video. Jeezy songs never gets old. It's one thing to make a song, it's another thing to make a masterpiece.

Who else is here after the 21 savage interview with Nardwuat ?

This is song that inspired me to work my ass off to get my daughter into a better place my dream came to I worked my ass off

Growing up in the projects of one of the most dangerous cities in the world, with a drug addicted mother is enough to leave anyone messed up, but choosing to rise above what you've been through is the way out! We got out the projects and my mother is now 11 yrs clean!! So she's still my lady!

This will forever be one of my favorite Jeezy songs

This song gives me chills every time I hear it. Keyshia's voice...... especially close to the end of the song. Lawd!!!!! It's like I can feel the emotion in this song. It's all heart. 3:49 to end.

I was going through so much when this song came out! I couldnt explain why I listened to it and felt it in my soul, BUT I MADE IT. 2020 engaged, finshed my bachelor degree and paid off a vehicle. I wasnt dreamin', thanks jeezy n keysh!!

Im here cus of 21 Savage

Just walked out of courtroom from being in cuffs for contempt my heart said i just wanna make it out alive. And remembered Jezzy this song when he said i just wanna be alive. I made it out alive. Hallelujah

This new generation has no damn clue! 🔥

This song still gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it

2 days clean from the shit jeezy used to sell. I got this!! 11 years gone but a whole life of sobriety to live!

Tears of nostalgia. This dropped during an era where the South ran the genre of Hip Hop. TI, Jeezy, Wayne, UGK, Rick Ross and more. This track took me right back to high school bruh. 18 years later and it is still a banger. could turn back the clock and relive my childhood one last time. You'd have to be alive during this time period (late 2000s) to know how special this era of Hip Hop was. Words won't do justice.

MY DREAM IS TO STOP MAKING MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS SUFFER FOR DA MISTAKES AND ALL DA BULLSHIT I PUT THEM THROUGH IM SORRY

This song always make me wanna cry.😧Beautiful.

Kesha Cole sang her heart and soul out on this song! 👍❤💯

2021 and still one of the realest songs I've ever heard in my life. I grew up in Los Angeles can't express how hard this hits me! 🥺

This my shit it really tells a message never give up on your dreams even if other people try to put you down

This still crank in 2020 I wish they stayed together.

12:52 am.. iam listening to this song with tears in my eyes... 4 years from now iam surely going to be a famous rapper 👍

Masterpiece..Jeezy & Keisha 2023🙏❤️🔥

2020 still listening🗣️ Quarantine safer at home

14 yrs later- still a banga. And shit still ain’t changed

Rest Easy DMX 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

My brother died the year this came out , I relate it to his death . That was 13 years ago. Now that I'm a man , I look back on all my life , all the wrongs and all the rights . I know he helped make it through . God is good , and lives in all of us . Be the light in the world you want to see. Every diamond is formed under pressure and darkness . Remember that .

This whole song makes me choke up ! Raised in the hood poor af ... loosing friends and family to the streets ... life is hard but we can overcome it and make it out ...Dreams come true ! 🙏🏽

Keisha 💯🎶 she didn't even need a microphone. We're dat ole JEEZY

No food on the table so we far from steak

2023 and TM101 still the realest out, and this track still get me every time

Jeezy is the shit..mad respect

When Keyshia chimes in and sings, "Cuz I've been through so much in my life" is like the peak of the song in my opinion. We have all been through challenging times in this world, but Jeezy and Keyshia articulate into words things that are hard to talk about but make us motivated and stronger. Absolutely beautiful and almost moves me to tears every time I hear it because I can relate to the song immensely and it is a piece of art.

A song I can listen to OVER AND OVER AND Over AND OVER

Heavy on the repeat. Manifestations is real everyone. I just want to see everyone win. Keep going. 🙏🏾

Keyshia with the gap😍😍

Keyshia Cole is my obsession amongst other female artists. Love the uniqueness of her voice, think she's amazing. She touches my spirit when she sings. Jeezy is dope!!! #dreaming #SA #Cape T

DONT GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS REAL TALK💪🏼😔

2023, the 3rd verse though 🔥🔥🔥 Keyshia & Jeezy connected perfectly on this one

Use this for motivation

Keyshia is so beautiful with the voice of an angel!!!

Anyone-To Stay Strong Within You, Always Be In Control Of Your Mind,And Love Yourself First Be Blessed

Mom Rip my dreams coming true keep looking over me
