Lyrics
[Intro: Martin Luther King Jr. (Sampled)
I am happy, I am, I am happy
I have a dream (I got a dream)
One day (We gonna work it out)
One day (We gonna work it out)
One day (We gonna work it out)
I have a dream (I got a dream)
One day (We gonna work it out)
One day (We gonna work it out)
One day (We gonna work it out)
I have a dream (I got a dream)
That one day (That one day)
That one day (I'm gonna look deep within myself)
(I gotta find a way)
I have a dream
My dream is to be free
My dream is to be
My dream is to be
My dream is to be free
In search of brighter days, I write through the maze of the madness
Struggle is my address where pain and crack lives
Gunshots coming from sounds of blackness
Given this game with no time to practice, born on the blacklist
Told I'm below average, a life with no cabbage
That's no money if you from where I'm from
Funny, I just want some of yo' sun
Dark clouds seem to follow me
Alcohol that my pops swallowed bottled me
No apology, I walk with a boulder on my shoulder
It's a cold war, I'm a colder soldier
Hold the same fight that made Martin Luther the King
I ain't using it for the right thing
In between lean and the fiends, hustle and the schemes
I put together pieces of a dream, I still have one
[Chorus: Martin Luther King Jr. (Sampled)
I have a dream (I got a dream)
One day (We gonna work it out)
One day (We gonna work it out)
One day (We gonna work it out)
I have a dream (I got a dream)
One day (We gonna work it out)
One day (We gonna work it out)
One day (We gonna work it out)
I have a dream (I got a dream)
That one day (That one day)
That one day (I'm gonna look deep within myself)
(I gotta find a way)
I have a dream
My dream is to be free
My dream is to be
My dream is to be
My dream is to be free
The world see me lookin' in the mirror
Images of me gettin' much clearer
Dear Self, I wrote a letter just to better my soul
If I don't express it then forever I hold
Inside, I'm from a side where we outta control
Rap music in the hood play the fatherly role
My story like yours, yo, gotta be told
Tryna make it from a gangsta to a godlier role
Read scrolls of stone slaves and Jewish people in cold caves
Hate has no color or age, flip the page
Now my rage became freedom
Write dreams in the dark, they far but I can see 'em
I believe in Heaven more than Hell, blessings more than jail
In the ghetto letting love prevail, with a story to tell
My eyes see the glory and well
The world waitin' for me to yell, "I have a dream"
[Chorus: Martin Luther King Jr. (Sampled)
I have a dream (I got a dream)
One day (We gonna work it out)
One day (We gonna work it out)
One day (We gonna work it out)
I have a dream (I got a dream)
One day (We gonna work it out)
One day (We gonna work it out)
One day (We gonna work it out)
I have a dream (I got a dream)
That one day (That one day)
That one day (I'm gonna look deep within myself)
(I gotta find a way)
I have a dream
My dream is to be free
My dream is to be
My dream is to be
My dream is to be free
