Young Hov uses the visual to give fans an idea of his rags to riches story.
“Dream. On.” finds Jay recalling in stark rhymes his youth in the Marcy Houses of Brooklyn and the ambition he cultivated there. “It takes tears, sweat, blood, five CCs,” the rapper says. “Because I know what a kid in apartment 5C see/ Heaven knows all I had was hella hope/ Speed dating with destiny, I couldn’t tell her no.” The video complements the words with simple footage of a humble apartment.
