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 OK 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 OK 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 than Kandahar
|
Well, that's kinda hard
|
|
But we still like to party and party 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 backstage, 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 a 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 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 than 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 stil |
