Group 1 Crew - I Have A Dream lyrics
rate me<BR>
Yeah...it's been a long time coming y'all...<br>
We dreamin' big...(it's the anthem)... it's Group 1<br>
<br>
Yo since the first time this little boy picked up a mic<br>
I've been dreaming for the day that you would hear it and like<br>
Every word that I spit hoping you could relate<br>
To every pain that I've been feeling since I came out the gate<br>
Used to dream about making it a six-figure deal<br>
To show this world that this life that I've been living is real<br>
When I make it I'm gonna do everything that I've promised<br>
By remaining honest and praise to my God I'll pay homage<br>
Take my parents out the stress that they've known all they life<br>
And pay all of their bills never gotta work till they die<br>
No more asking for extensions to avoid late fees<br>
And no more late nights crying by their bed on their knees<br>
No buying food on credit cause we're lacking the funds<br>
No more wondering where all of this money will come from<br>
God will see me to the day when these words breathe life<br>
And manifest the very faith that I continue to write<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus:]</i><br>
A young kid growing up it was hard to adapt<br>
The world didn't love me so I started to rap it's cause...<br>
I...I have a dream, I...I have a dream<br>
Late nights all alone steady feeling confused<br>
I took a look at my life ain't got nothing to lose it's cause...<br>
I...I have a dream, I...I have a dream<br>
<br>
A young girl growing up it was hard to adapt<br>
I felt like every other girl was given life with a map<br>
They seemed to know where they were going<br>
I didn't know jack, I had to play it cool never let them see where I'm at<br>
But baby girl got tired, and I would never see my daddy<br>
All the boys were liars, and they were always getting at me<br>
You see I tried hard to remove all the scars<br>
But I could never see my dreams they were always too far<br>
Dreams of being free dreams of being able to sing<br>
I dreamt a man loved me cause I wasn't scared to be me<br>
I saw a life where every woman had respect for herself<br>
And every little girl would run and ask her mommy for help<br>
I'm not afraid to write a song that exposes my pain<br>
I lived my life backwards so when it poured it rained<br>
But I got through the weather now I'm changing the game<br>
And dreaming remains the source of everything we proclaim<br>
<br>
A young buck only knee high<br>
With thoughts of reaching the sky<br>
Rocked ball caps but knew<br>
My crown was a king size<br>
A product of my father's labor<br>
And my mother's reprise<br>
To keep my eyes past the<br>
Blue collar and live wise<br>
I can't lie, I thought of what it would be like<br>
If I compromise<br>
Walk a lie<br>
Spit death instead of life<br>
Choose to cross the line<br>
Keep a foot on both sides<br>
But the dream is too large<br>
For it to be hid inside<br>
My kid's seeds will inherit daddies dreams<br>
Daddies dreams of never having to hustle for the green<br>
Or being a slave to mans work<br>
Just to meet their needs<br>
And mami and papi<br>
Will reap the harvest of my deeds<br>
I paint a path for a generation to come<br>
No longer a peasant or slave<br>
Your own kingdom<br>
I scream freedom<br>
And let it echo through the slums<br>
Rise up pump your fist<br>
And march to the pace of the drum<br>
<BR><BR>
