| I have a dream
|
| (There's no easy walk to freedom)
|
| That one day, this nation will rise up
|
| And live out the true meaning of its creed
|
| We hold these truths to be self-evident
|
| That all men are created equal
|

|
| To be C-Murder nowadays (It's my testimony man)

| Na na na na na na na na na (Still I rise)
