English term or phrase: big dreams to blow (so my fame can feast)
Buenas noches:

Estoy subtitulando una canción que aparece en un documental sobre Baltimore. No acabo de entender el sentido de esta frase. Os copio los versos anteriores y posteriores, pero no hay más contexto dentro de la propia canción.

♪ It's a real cold world
in these Bmore streets ♪

♪ But it's no time to
waste get up on your feet ♪

♪ Gotta keep up the pace ♪

♪ When you gotta eat ♪

***Big dreams to blow so my fame can feast***

♪ No silver spoon so it's all on me ♪

♪ Can't help but preach it's the God in me ♪

♪ Somebody had to step
up so I took the lead ♪

♪ Broke the earth ♪

♪ Dug the dirt ♪

♪ Plant the seeds turn on the lights ♪

♪ Shined it bright on you and I ♪

La traducción es para España y, como es para subtitulado, debe ser lo más breve posible.

Muchas gracias,

Montse

Asker: Gracias, Tigranuhi. Tu interpretación se acerca más a la mía inicial, porque así tiene sentido la segunda parte de la frase, algo así como "soñar ser famoso".
