I was born, raised on a slave plantation |
|
In the United States, of the red, white and blue |
|
Never knew that I was different, till Dr. King was on a balcony |
|
Lyin' in a bloody pool |
|
I expected so much more from a loving |
|
A loving, loving society |
|
A truthful explanation, you know what |
|
I got another, another conspiracy |
|
If it was just a dream, listen, call me, call me a dreamer too |
|
With more rewards and accolades, then anyone before or after |
|
21st century, oh what a shame, what a shame |
|
Race, race still matters |
|
A race to what, and where we going |
|
We in the same boat, but I'm the only one rowing |
|
Last time I checked, you were sleeping, but you can call me a dreamer too |
|
(What's up with this) |
|
Peanut butter logic, served on a bed of lies |
|
Don't go down too easy, when you've seen your father cry |
|
Have you ever clutched the steering wheel in your car too tight |
|
Praying that police sirens just pass you by that night |
|
While the helicopter circles us, this theory's getting deep |
|
Think they're spraying chemicals over the city |
|
While we sleep |
|
Come on, I'm staying awake |
|
you can call me a dreamer too |
|
(Ahhh, I got one eye open for these devils) |
|
(Wake up, wake up) |
|
(I pledge allegiance, to..) |
