Dreamer

Yeah, believe it or not What kept me alive is my dreams I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems But we love to have fun This is our world, from here to your hood We alive man, it's okay to feel good I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems But we love to have fun This is our world, from here to your hood Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good I got a friend named Flow Who got a friend named Blow With a finger named Clap That'll leave you on the side like a Kangol hat He ain't have no choice, he was born this way These streets pull your number like a phone display And you gotta be defensive with your life You gotta be like Bush and take pre-emptive strikes And the boys from the hood are always hard Let alone in Mogadishu it's a mastered art If you bring the world hoods to a seminar We from the only place worse then Kandahar Well, that's kinda hard But we still like to party and hardy hard Something good happens we say, 'Mashallah' Something bad happens, 'Que Sera Sera' I close my eyes and all I can see is you dancing with me I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems But we love to have fun This is our world, from here to your hood We alive man, it's okay to feel good I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems But we love to have fun This is our world, from here to your hood Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good I'm a dreamer It's okay to feel good, yeah, it's the truth Ay, yo' check it out What would it take for a boy about my age To hear cheers in his head upon that stage And the cheers that would drown out The tears from my brown eyes? Come on back stage, you see the screams Ain't the screams from gunshot streams In my dreams, these screams are from hot teens And I'm barely thirteen, I pack dirty Old Russian firearm that shoots thirty Just then I hear the bus engine I'm transcending, I'm crowd surfing I can't see the time burning I'm not hurting with my mahogany pen I'm on a world tour with Mohammad and them And we'd be overseas and not in these trees Where my peeps stay alive like the Bee Gees And the likes of JZ would save my steeze Singing handily brought Hip Hop peace I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems But we love to have fun This is our world, from here to your hood We alive man, it's okay to feel good I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems But we love to have fun This is our world, from here to your hood Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good, I'm a dreamer Sometimes we just like to have fun Man, we like to forget all the fighting All the guns and the tires burning Back on the verse, imagine crack was in birth Imagine the earth wasn't hurt, imagine no homeland alerts Imagine no record locater So I wouldn't have to get a criminal waiver Imagine the peace wasn't in my briefs Instead peace could stretch across the seas So finally we could just rest and ease, no refugees And you, well, you could dress in a book And I can read your body with less then a look I got a dream girl in my mind that's the hook An intellectual, sexual and still can cook Yeah, and I feel good right now I feel good right here, you feel good right now? You feel good? I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems But we love to have fun This is our world, from here to your hood We alive man, it's okay to feel good I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems But we love to have fun This is our world, from here to your hood Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems But we love to have fun This is our world, from here to your hood We alive man, it's okay to feel good I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems But we love to have fun This is our world, from here to your hood Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good Yeah, we not down and out just because the times are hard Yeah, shout out to the struggler's in my country The hardest place on earth right now but still I still know how to get down, I still know how to vibe out I still know how to talk to a pretty girl, take it easy now, yeah
