dream to desire
desire to dream
admired I'll be
I may already be
astonishin' schemes
polish'd it gleams
people followin' me
when followin' dreams

The meaning of life is death after hardship
happiness is part of it if you can harness it
two can harvest ten brothers of the same blood
different face, still tha same thugs, same slang'd drugs
pain stakes but names make hate to degrate love
segregate nations an' place-um face down
race changed how we survive, how only half-of us thrive
but now it's status in life, money wrapped up in lies
packaged up in dimes livin' where I live
un-forgiven violence, crimes just-ta get by
tot'n nines jus-ta get high, like penny's from the blind
these just penny's for my thoughts, no more cops
four door locks, sick of bein' stuck in tha back seat
shackeled for this reason..
I'm dreamin'
