|
Wouldn't it be nice if life was sort of like a dream (like a dream) |
|
And everything wasn't really what it seemed? |
|
What if everything you ever wished for was in reach (reach) |
|
And you could learn everything your school didn't teach? (teach) |
|
Wouldn't it be nice if the banks didn't fuck up the loans |
|
And people ain't have to move out they homes? (homes) |
|
With no GM or AIG |
|
And for that matter no cancer or A-I-D |
|
Yes, I'm sure we could all agree |
|
That the world I'm talkin about is where we would like to be (be) |
|
Worried about debts, recessions and foreclosure |
|
Too much stress, somebody pass me the doja (the doja baby) |
|
So I could just float (float) |
|
And not have to worry about payin my car note (note) |
|
But once the smoke clears, you right back where you was |
|
But it's still cool just to dream man because |
|
[Break - Colin Munroe] - w/ ad libs |
|
I'm high for sleep, I'm high for work (I'm high for work) |
|
It always seems so real, then fades away (away) |
|
I know I sold my soul, I ? |
|
I guess these major deals ain't all they seem |
|
Not quite what I was (dreamin of) |
|
[Chorus - Colin Munroe] |
|
One world, one heart (not quite what I was dreamin of) |
|
So close, so far (not quite what I was dreamin of) |
|
No tears, no scars (not quite what I was dreamin of) |
|
We're so close, so far (not quite what I was dreamin of) |
|
I need more than sixteen, Stat' |
|
[Verse 2 - Wale] |
|
We was lookin for change 'til Barack came |
|
Sooner lookin for change but these rocks ain't |
|
Movin, eyelids low 'cause my bills too high |
|
And my kids growin quick and my lady's growin tired |
|
So my outlook's dim and my house is eventually without any heat |
|
Unless it's comin out of me |
|
See, wages is minimum |
|
The race that I run feels Usain quick and I'm in ankle weights and Timberlands |
|
Life's tryin to lap you |
|
Them hustlers fast but life is a three course meal, let them fast foods |
|
Have it for now |
|
Quick money never stays, get your money, stay patient, outlast it for now |
|
Before I lay down, I thank God for the blessings |
|
Every bit of success, as well as my imperfections |
|
'Cause ain't nobody perfect, everybody searchin |
|
For happiness, we livin like every day's urgent |
|
Every day's harder, ain't nothin here promised |
|
To live as Will Smith, you must endure the Chris Gardners |
|
Wale, we good |
|
[Chorus] - 2X |
|
Dreamin on a lullaby |
|
(Fade) |
