about

Dreams is a song about our desires and our will to obtain the luxuries we yearn for.

lyrics

I dream you dream
I dream you dream
I dream you dream
I dream you dream

Chorus

I dream you dream everybody’s got a dream
Some strong inkling of a motivating thing
Some of us will win some of us will lose
There’s a fork in the road some of us will never choose

Verse 1

All I ever wanted was to be my own man
With my mule and my 40 acres of land
Life could devastate you when it doesn’t go to plan
You gotta recognize and adapt to circumstance
And it'll it blow over
Then I’ll supernova
Waiting for my dream when the nightmare is over
Fantasizing there’s nothing like the peace
No worries ‘bout surviving
The mind can release such beautiful music
Record it never lose it
Any path I take in life is right cause I choose it
The world is mine
Always take my chances
When I choose my own path I always see advances
And when I see romances she never acting up
She waitin’ at the door with my slippers and my cup
Lingerie and sexy glances
Pheromone trances
Happy as a woman cause she knows who her man is

Chorus

I dream you dream everybody’s got a dream
Some strong inkling of a motivating thing
Some of us will win some of us will lose
There’s a fork in the road some of us will never choose
There’s a fork in the road some of us will never choose
I dream you dream some will win some will lose
That strong inkling of a motivating thing
I dream you dream everybody’s got a dream

Verse 2

I had a dream of making millions I keep hope alive
They can never steal your dream it you keep it inside.
Some grand theft motherfuckers and grand larcenist
When Dox is on fire I am an arsonist
You come in my proximity you bound to get burned
You might approach with a fro but you’ll leave with a perm
Abrasive invasive, smoking like some aces
Making black men jump like I’m James Naismith
My dreams go deep deeper than REM sleep
If I succeed they’ll call it luck, it’s all technique
Repetition repertoire a burgeoning star
Not quite a supernova still I’m a go far
With my Petite Sirah and salmon tartare
The good life is closer than bumper traffic to my car
And once I get there I’m calling Edward Jones
Too many former superstars in foreclosed on homes

Chorus

I dream you dream everybody’s got a dream
Some strong inkling of a motivating thing
Some of us will win some of us will lose
There’s a fork in the road some of us will never choose
There’s a fork in the road some of us will never choose
I dream you dream some will win some will lose
That strong inkling of a motivating thing
I dream you dream everybody’s got a dream

Verse 3

I’m in the midst of the nightmare
Darkest ‘fo the dawn
The weight of fear a heavy burden so it’s hard to carry on
Fear of love, fear of hate, fear of failure, fear of pain
Surrounded by insanity, fear of staying sane
Nothing comforts me not even company
That’s how I know this life I lead isn’t really misery
I keep on dreaming dreams that lack a sense of focus
I see the world through logic but still wish for hocus pocus
I don’t wanna live a life without freedom
But freedom is illusion but illusion isn’t freedom
How could illusion be the only kind of freedom
Who’s in control; maybe with illusion I could beat 'em
And live a life of riches
With lots of pretty bitches
Like Neo in my own matrix without the glitches
And if agent Smith is still tryna hack me
Imma duplicate myself and watch myself back me.


Chorus

I dream you dream everybody’s got a dream
Some strong inkling of a motivating thing
Some of us will win some of us will lose
There’s a fork in the road some of us will never choose
There’s a fork in the road some of us will never choose
I dream you dream some will win some will lose
That strong inkling of a motivating thing
I dream you dream everybody’s got a dream (x2)
