Lyrics:
moves just a little too late
Unapologetic
We rise so the ancestors don’t regret it
And if the generation before us did drop the ball
We pick it back up by
twilight
Call me up early
You called me up so early
I'm always in a hurry and
I didn't know
Transcendent work day
Waking up from a dream
And heading off
The African American community has been let down by our politicians
They talk good around election time
Like right now
And after the election they
your daughter cry
I apologize a trillion times
My baby's drama mama, don't like me
She be doing things like having them boys come from her
your daughter cry
I apologize a trillion times
My baby's drama mama, don't like me
She be doing things like having them boys come from her
never feel right in a tie and suit
501s and a plain white tee
I stay gettin' stopped by the LAPD
That's just life growin' up in south central
I been
the execution for me just
Has never been the same
When you waking up everyday
And stifled by your pain
But still you keep pushing
And you hope you gon' change
You
the brilliance of a Black American child
Endowed by the streets of the Chi proud
Known to move in silence, but can be loud
The noise of beat girls and boys
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baptism
Got the American dream to define
Ignore our sister's bleeding as if it's benign
Or in decline
"Don't cry and straighten up that spine
There ain't
Black panther, black panther, what do you see?
I see a dream ITAL watching over me
Back nigga
Yeah, hey, can we get a little break
From
Even in 3D I'm discrete
Waking up from a dream
I'm awake go back to sleep
When the storm starts to shake
It gets hard inside but I stay alive
It takes
chased, by ten ton rats that want me dead
Or even worse, he's right there, and gotta figure out the note I read
In the waking hours, all I do is cower,
your daughter cry
I apologize a trillion times
My baby's drama mama, don't like me
She be doing things like having them boys come from her
the weight of life
Just know I'll be right by your side
Waking up to another day
Hoping that the world is now changed
All the noises in my brain
I'm surprised
to dirt, this is just a plea
I'm tryna fucking tell you all that this is not a dream
I always have another play hidden up my sleeve
Cold like liquid
far too short to be granted to the modern god David Bowie by this universe
There are two men in my apartment right now cutting up walls with power
crown
To show the importance of a movement for those that literally hung, bleed, cried and died so that I can be proud of this so-called American dream in
your daughter cry
I apologize a trillion times
My baby's drama mama, don't like me
She be doing things like having them boys come from her
the faces of the children
They get so excited
Waking up on Christmas morning
Hours before the winter sun's ignited
They believe in dreams and all they
was killed by the saviors of his own dream
Our movement
Verse One
I'm not a human being into no spirtual shit
Spiritual remanifested
It's been like a dream from from which I wake up
And by waking up I
One night
Heavy rain was falling
You were soaking wet and laughing
In Aix en
of
Smoking a reefer in the bathroom, sipping Smirnoff
When it came time for the pictures in the yearbook
I was up in class like an American werewolf
Years
percent for every degree
That we go over temperature from back in the 1880s
By 2030 climate change will be costs 700 billion yearly
Miami alone will lose
I have a dream
Like Martin Luther King
To gather my people and avoid the American scheme
Also known as American Dream
And I'm America's nightmare
I
