DJ ill Will |
| [00:10.01] |
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, look, like |
| [00:19.68] |
Damn, won't you get her her paradise |
| [00:22.96] |
Somethin' more than a store with a pair of Nikes |
| [00:25.47] |
That we probably can't afford 'cause the wearin' price |
| [00:27.97] |
So instead, we just window shop |
| [00:30.12] |
At night time, gotta keep her windows locked |
| [00:32.61] |
'Cause n*ggas outside with they things on cock |
| [00:35.14] |
And money so low though, through they been throwin' rock |
| [00:37.65] |
I heard he savin' up for that Benz old drop |
| [00:40.12] |
But if cops knock 'em down and his ears gon' flop |
| [00:42.63] |
So the ink from his pen gon' drop |
| [00:45.31] |
'Cause when we do the crime, everythin's blown out |
| [00:47.72] |
I help the portion, women havin' abortions |
| [00:50.27] |
And we as black males should not be black male |
| [00:53.03] |
We can make planes instead of them c*ack sales |
| [00:55.74] |
Think about it, you ruinin' someone's life |
| [00:57.95] |
And if they come back, you doin' it to 'em twice |
| [00:59.79] |
Let's all go to sleep |
| [01:02.35] |
Just a dream a day |
| [01:04.85] |
Way them clouds ain't grey |
| [01:07.35] |
And you're miles away |
| [01:09.87] |
So just let your head |
| [01:12.40] |
Think away the pain |
| [01:14.88] |
From your cloudy day |
| [01:17.38] |
Because now you stay in a beautiful place |
| [01:21.27] |
Damn, won't you give a man good livin' |
| [01:23.39] |
Good cookin' that ain't comin' outta hood kitchen |
| [01:25.93] |
Build a better community that we could live in |
| [01:28.44] |
Give us better predicaments that we shoulda been in |
| [01:30.99] |
I mean not all of us bad, some got a good vision |
| [01:33.44] |
And our role models gettin' shot up in the hood slippin' |
| [01:36.26] |
The fall out's appall seen |
| [01:37.93] |
How do we graduate if drop outs all we see? |
| [01:40.47] |
And when we sleep, the only time that we offer peace |
| [01:42.91] |
Wish I could wake up and all my pain's all a dream |
| [01:45.46] |
All as God's human beings, come all a team |
| [01:48.08] |
Where everybody on the bus on the car to be |
| [01:50.54] |
We need difference in the world, predominantly |
| [01:53.66] |
Need change, more than an Obama speech |
| [01:56.16] |
We need to listen like the times when our mama speaks |
| [01:58.65] |
So we can finally expand like we oughta be, uh |
| [02:00.34] |
Let's all go to sleep |
| [02:02.77] |
Just a dream a day |
| [02:05.36] |
Way them clouds ain't grey |
| [02:07.84] |
And you're miles away |
| [02:10.32] |
So just let your head |
| [02:12.85] |
Think away the pain |
| [02:15.43] |
From your cloudy day |
| [02:17.90] |
Because now you stay in a beautiful place |
| [02:22.42] |
How could we see clearly if the circumstances we've been born into are not as golden or bright as others? |
| [02:29.80] |
How does someone do so right if only seein' so wrong? |
| [02:33.33] |
How does a community change for the better to change another community? |
| [02:38.67] |
The answer is one word, self. |
| [02:41.22] |
You see you must first change yourself as a person before you can change someone else or correct anyone on their own problems. |
| [02:48.66] |
Only he without sin has the right to judge someone with sins in their wrong heart. |
| [02:53.16] |
Some people are good hearted, some people are bad hearted. |
| [02:56.72] |
Good and bad people both have their differences but one thing they have in common is sleep. |
| [03:01.89] |
You see no matter how long you stay awake, you will always need to sleep. |
| [03:06.49] |
And in that sleep, you exist in another world, another realm. |
| [03:10.59] |
You will wake up in the morning only to have to go to sleep that same night. |
| [03:16.39] |
And then you exist again in the dream world. |
| [03:18.99] |
Keep the dream alive. Mr. Peterson |
