GORILLA ZOE - Dreams lyrics

rate me

What if there was no trap, was no crack

Peace in the hood, nobody had gats

No drug wars, no need to rob

No check fraud, everybody had jobs.

Paint a perfect picture, of a life picture perfect.

No crimes no murder so there's no funeral service to attend to.

Erase what you been through, turn your life around

And the whole world commends you, I tend to

Dream about things that we can do

Think about the things that you did do, I can't judge

I send to, but most things we think about are pitied to,

Just another generation coming after me and you.

What If, what if, Life was just a dream

We can't seem to wake up, hidin behind the make up

Welcome to my nightmare,

Someone please pinch me, cause I can't seem to wake up

No one's here to save us, I wonder if my life's a dream.

What if slavery was prison, what if everything we learned

Came from television, And they treated us like children

Wanna talk to the priest, but he's playin with the children

Lock me up for a sentence the money laundering million

Wow that's a whole lot to think about, it comes from the heart

So I spit it out my mouth, it don't matter where your from

The north or the south, the east or the west

We dream in the same house, sleep on the same couch

Sweatin from nightmares, no matter what you plot

We praying the same prayers, feel the same pain

We share the same tears, living the same life

In a world that's not fair.

What if kids could go to school,

And didn't have to worry about there peers being cool.

Or what if it really wasn't cool to rock jewels

And if you rocked jewels, they looked at you like a fool

I'm telling you what it do, I'm talking about my dream

Dream like dr. kind, I ain't tryna preach to ya.

I'm tellin ya what I've seen, I'm tryna paint a scene

Let me tell you what I mean, we come from a rich land

We was all born kings, the women were all queens

Inheritance through jeans, but look at us all now.

So what does it all mean, I really couldn't tell yea

But it feels like a dream, I'm still in the trap surrounded by dope fiends.
