COMMON lyrics : "The Dreamer"


for the world world world
my name is common, no i.d

[verse 1]
ferrari testers, armani dressers
exquisite thick (*##$es that body bless us

rest $$#ured, we getting festive in miami now
told my ^!$$% 'ye i'm about to win the grammys now
getting johnny cash old white folks know me now

standing close to the mic like i'm kobe now
we celebrate the ?, they hate because we got love
it's the pop life, a lot of faces pop up

known to tear the club and the block up
going through the airport with more lie than an opera
new crooks who move books like harry potter

get cleaners to get it cleaner
a legend like john, lennon, i'm a dreamer
tried to $#&@ the world she only let me finger

mind trips to medina to visit the redeemer
a hero, i'll drop out like hiroshima
off sangria with two broads

still opening roads for
i'm a dreamer
[hook]

it's for the world world world world world
dream on
[verse 2]

we take, uh, we make, uh, paper
and build skyscrapers
walking on water, building my faith up

^!$$%s with no heart, i'm the pace maker
get the beat from no i, feel the pulse of the chi
survival of the fit with hope in they eye

taking notes from the sky to fly above understanding
they notes from the most high, so i gotta land them
career ain't random, make anthems, streets chant them

rock rolls like a phantom
mad hoes like they throwing tantrums
i tell them i need space like richard branson

dancing, with wolves and stars getting full at bars
and then pass out like a pamphlet
never taking grants for granted

it's common, i'm high above standard
fly ^!$$%, keep my feet planted
to rock the planet, i don't stop for panic

maybe i'm a hopeless hip-hop romantic
i'm a dreamer
[hook]


[verse 3]
he introduced me, i stepped to the podium

said peace, gave thanks to the holy one
put my water up, thought about my daughter for a second
the youth, the living resurrection

reflections of the sun glaring through the window
now the audience staring at my mental
feeling like the world, the world is at my fingers

'bout to speak to an auditorium full of dreamers
kinda took me back to when i first had a dream
to be like the king that sang billie jean

now it's gold records, and i'm on silver screens
at the mountaintop, you still gotta dream
to the dreamers

[bridge]
if i dream you're here
angel dreaming there

you should just come here
if i wake you up
only difference is

you can live the dream
just believe in it
[maya angelou]

once you find your shoulders dropping
and your speech gets slow and hazy
you better change your way of being

before you found your brain got lazy
you can build a better future when you join the winning team
if you desire a bright tomorrow, you must build a brighter dream
dare to let your dreams reach beyond you
know that history holds more than it seems

we are here alive today because our ancestors dared to dream
from africa they lay in the bilge of slave ships
and stood half naked on auction blocks
from eastern-europe they crowded in vessels overloaded with immigrants
and were mis-named on ellis island

from south america and mexico, from asia, they labored in sweat shops
from all over the world, they came to america
many shivering in rags, and still they dared to dream
let us dream for today and for tomorrow
let us dare to dream
