Sweet Dreams |
| I just want to get these dreams out |
| So hopefully I’ll stop having these nightmares |
| And if you wanna know what I dream bout' |
| It’s that one day you might care |
| 15 years old |
| Sitting in my bedroom |
| Watching my baby sister |
| And praying Mom’s will be home soon |
| Burning my arms |
| The pressure hit me like typhoons |
| Cuz' I’m the only black kid in my homeroom |
| I felt the power of words that day |
| When I was called coon |
| Sharp as any sword |
| When they cut, it scar you |
| You know the pain when people seem to ignore you |
| I grab the teacher like, «I just want to be heard!» |
| I went home, and put it all inside a notebook |
| Poetry is molding me |
| Look, this how hope look |
| My father is in Michigan |
| My step-dad addicted and |
| My mom’s out at working all her fingers to the bone |
| And I feel like I’m worthless and hurting beneath the surface |
| It’s clear that I am broken Lord |
| I need you in my home |
| And that day |
| A dream was born |
| That in 16 bars |
| You can hear my pain in this song |
| I just want to get these dreams out |
| So hopefully I’ll stop having these nightmares |
| And if you wanna know what I dream bout' |
| It’s that one day you might care |
| I see some doctors and lawyers |
| With a person to cure cancer |
| And they don’t even know it |
| It’s a voice in they dreams, it drowned out |
| By the loudmouths |
| Dreamkillers screaming for God to quiet down |
| So if they say that you are nothin' |
| Tell em' thank you |
| Cuz' God created this whole universe, that is proof |
| Meaning, we’re expressions of the greatest artist |
| Brushstrokes of The King’s speech, greatest masterpiece |
| So why you let em' take your purpose? |
| (Huh?) |
| (It's the dream that he gave you) |
| Why you believin' that you worthless? |
| (Huh?) |
| (There's a reason why he made you) |
| Fly higher, inspire |
| You were wired to be The Lord’s greatness |
| Naysayers are liars |
| And this what He designed me to do |
| I’m living my dream |
| You better live yours too |
| I just want to get these dreams out |
| So hopefully I’ll stop having these nightmares |
| And if you wanna know what I dream bout' |
| It’s that one day you might care |
| Now, all my dreamers say. |
| (OoooooooOOoooo) |
| Don’t let em' ever take your dream away |
| (Ooooohhhh) |
| Now, all my dreamers say. |
| (OoooooooOOoooo) |
| Don’t let em' ever take your dream away |
| (Ooooohhhh) |
| They can never take your dream away |
