Sacred Dreams

Authentic dreams I had to sketch out I just wanna be the best out Planning on my best route And which way I'm a take it I know I'm gonna make it And that's why this is sacred to me Don't plan on burying talents I'm planning on taking advantage On everything that I can see in my vantage I won't end up jaded I know I can manage The way that they set up the rules to be slanted And disadvantage those that look like me For being black they throw the book at me Wish I could read 'em though And maybe then instead of sink or swim We'd just own the aquarium We can change the environment Reach a higher enlightenment Change the story and title it How my blackness is vital and No more playing the violin For the souls of the fallen me Then we start to see hope again But wait wait it's hard How can dreams heal what reality still scars Leading with their politics false claiming the Lord And wonder why our actions reflect hate absorbed Lord Authentic dreams I had to sketch out I just wanna be the best out Planning on my best route And which way I'm a take it I know I'm gonna make it And that's why this is sacred to me What's freedom without agitation Just a person waiting patience turns into frustration See the seeds that's planted must be watered for creation And our tears was all we had to give precipitation Anticipating changes as my anger bubbles I'm sitting watching blindness to a blatant struggle How often I'm reminded if you wanna hustle The culture is for sale but that don't make them love you Silly m Silly me Under impressions that America is free Still feeling shackled to impractical beliefs They using scriptures but won't practice what is preached Sheesh Wish everything was how it seemed We all just want a voice and to be seen Our blackness is the fabric down to the seams I wear my skin with pride cause that's a sacred dream Authentic dreams I had to sketch out I just wanna be the best out Planning on my best route And which way I'm a take it I know I'm gonna make it And that's why this is sacred to me
