Song meaning of Dreams and Nightmares (Intro) by Meek Mill

Oh boy, if ever there was a song that embodies the 'started from the bottom now we're here' cliche, then Meek Mill's 'Dreams and Nightmares' is it. Apparently, Meek used to pray for times like this, and by 'times like this' he means the ability to rhyme about things he's actually experienced, like getting locked up and cuff-locked in the back of a police wagon. But hey, it's all worth it when your dreams unfold and your nightmares come true, right? So he married the game, and if you want it, you gotta see it with a clear-eyed view, even if that means sneezing and getting hoes involved. Meek's not about that life though, he's too lion-hearted. But his fans aren't, they loved him when he was stuck and hated him when he departed. So now he's getting cream, laughing in the face of his haters and parking his massive cars in spots that are too small for the rest of us losers. But wait a minute, Meek's not finished. He's flexing on these niggas, counting his cash, riding around in Lambo's with his toast at the ready. And don't even think about dissing him in your raps or showing up in his hood, unless you want to become a memory. So much money, so many enemies, so many pretty hoes. It's all just a dream come true.
