Dreamer

Ow, yeah

Huh

Whoa-ooh

Oh, girl

Yeah, ay

I was born, raised on the same plantation

In the United States of the red, white, and blue

Never knew that I was different

Till Dr. King was on a balcony, lyin' in a bloody pool

I expected so much more

From a loving, a loving, lovin' society

A truthful explanation

But you know what? I got another, another conspiracy

If it was just a dream, listen

Call me, call me a dreamer too

More rewards and accolades

Than anyone before or after

21st century, oh, what a shame, what a shame

Race, now race still matters

A race to wha? And where are we goin'?

We in the same boat, but I'm the only one rowin'

Last time I checked, you were sleepin'

But you can call me a dreamer too

Stop with this

Yeah

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Yeah

Ow

Uh, uh

Peanut butter logic

Served on a bed of lies

Don't go down too easy

When you seen your father cryin'

Have you ever clutched the steerin' wheel

In your car too tight?

Prayin' that the police sirens

Just pass you by that night

While the helicopter circles us

Fear is gettin' deep

Think they're sprayin' chemicals over the city

While we sleep

From now on, I'm stayin' awake

You can call me a dreamer too

Ah, that one eye open for these guys

Wake up

And it's really like

It seems a girl like you

It seems a girl like you

Must betray

When I wake up

Wake up, wake up

I pledge allegiance to the flag
