Knaan - Dreamer lyrics

rate me

Yea

Believe it or not

What kept me alive

Is my dream

And I'm a dreamer

But I ain't the only one got problems, but we we love to have fun

This is our world, from here to your hood,

We alive alive man, it's ok to feel good

I'm a dreamer

But I ain't the only one got problems, but we we love to have fun

This is our world, from here to your hood,

Lock me up now, it's ok to feel good

I got a friend named flow,

Who got a friend named blow

With a finger named clap

That'll leave you on the side like a (kango) hat

He ain't have no choice he was born this way

These streets pull your number like a phone display

And you gotta be defensive with' your life

You gotta be like Bush and take preemptive strikes

And the boys from the hood are always hard

Let alone in Mogadishu it's a mastered hard

If you bring the (world hoods) to a seminar

We from the only place worse than Kandahar

Where that's kinda hard

But we still like to party in mo...

Somethin' good happens we say Mashala?

Som'in' bad happens que sara sara

I close my eyes and all I can see is you dancin' with' me.

(I'm a dreamer)

It's ok to feel good (yea)

It's the truth

Hey yo, y' check it out,

What would it take for a boy about my age

To hear cheers in his head upon that stage?

And the cheers they would drown out

The tears from my brown eyes

Come on back stage

You see screams ain't the screams from gunshot screams

In my dreams these screams are from hot teens

And I'm barely thirteen, I pack a dirty

Or a Russian firearm that shoots thirty

Just then I hit a bus and (then I'm trancin')

Then I'm crowd surfin'

I can't see the time burnin'

I'm not hurting with my mahogany pen

I'm on a world tour with mohammad and them

And we be overseas and not on these streets

So when my peeps stay alive like the BeeGees

And the likes of JZ would save my (stees?)

Singin' handily brought hip hop peace

Some times we just like to have fun man we like to forget

All the fighting, all the guns and the tires burning

Back on the verse

Imagine crack wasn't birth

Imagine the earth wasn't hurt

Imagine no homeland alerts

Imagine no record locater

So I wouldn't have to get a criminal waiver

Imagine the peace wasn't in my (briefs?),

Instead peaace could stretch across the seas

So finally we could just rest in the (east?)

No refugees

And you, well you could dress in the book

And I could read your body with less than a look

I got a dream girl in my mind that's the hook

And intellectual sexual and still can cook

Yea

And I feel good right now

I feel good right here

You feel good right now?

You feel good?

(Yea)

We not down and out

Just because the times are hard

Uh

Uh-uh

Uh-uh

Yea

Shout out to the strugglers

In my country

The hardest place on earth right now

But still

I still know how to get down

I still know how to (five out?)

I still know to talk to a pretty girl

Take it easy (yea)
