Dreamer 2000 |
Oh, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, ooh |
Oh, oh ah, oh ah, ooh |
Oh, oh ah, dreamer, dreamer, dreamer, oh |
When I dream truth is seen in the stream, I see |
Where kings have lived the dream imagination |
The hardest shit on Earth to possess for some |
Imagine me, living this life jumping fences like August Wilson |
Singing out my soul like black ass |
As destiny’s grain’s pass through the broken hour glass |
To be young, black and gifted |
I am |
We stand on legends on this microphone |
When we rock it’s on |
Weaving dreams through 4-tracks songs |
Now uh |
Now many groups have fallen to the point they can’t return? |
Gimmicks and industry standards up they ass, out to burn |
You can only dream about doing the shit we do |
Travel all around the world and independent too |
Now uh, selling tapes, rocking shows |
Beyond your battle rap where do yo' ass go? |
Staring at the flo' at yo' |
Weak ass perform your weak shows |
You need to grow up |
And dreams stuck |
Is what you’ll be, now uh |
Waiting for your call from your record company that never comes |
You just hear the knock |
Beyond that |
Extract yo' ass and drink what’s hot |
You never had a chance unless you dreamed |
And did for you |
Instead expecting what they ass |
Can do for you |
I dream what |
I do when I die, I dream that I did what I… could do |
Living beyond being trapped in other people’s fear |
They clearly try to inject into me here |
Reminiscing of jealousy now |
Cause they could never be all they could be |
I’m me |
Which might not be easy for you to see |
But I’m |
Dreaming up a place that goes beyond your reality |
It was the best dream I ever had |
See anything I wanted happened in it |
Maybe for a minute things would go wrong |
But I knew I could always change the outcome |
Someway or another things would have to work right |
I had the masterwork sight |
The seat behind the keyboard making sounds that people like |
And I liked to do the work |
I put it in like an expert |
Always outdoing the next jerk who claimed competition |
See |
Fame was not the mission |
My goal to get my peers to listen and understand me |
My family was supportive and I loved them |
We argued and fought a lot but I put nothing above them |
Though, time moved slow and fast the same |
The more I dreamt, I learned how to last in the game |
And my name fit my actions as I was told |
A dream so vivid, I caught myself growing old |
Surrounded by friends it was alright |
All night sessions on progression? |
Lessons being taught so valuable I listened |
Even took trips and saw the world |
So now you tell me, when am I supposed to wake up |
I make up my life in my sleep |
