Group 1 Crew - I Have A Dream lyrics

<BR>

Yeah...it's been a long time coming y'all...<br>

We dreamin' big...(it's the anthem)... it's Group 1<br>

<br>

Yo since the first time this little boy picked up a mic<br>

I've been dreaming for the day that you would hear it and like<br>

Every word that I spit hoping you could relate<br>

To every pain that I've been feeling since I came out the gate<br>

Used to dream about making it a six-figure deal<br>

To show this world that this life that I've been living is real<br>

When I make it I'm gonna do everything that I've promised<br>

By remaining honest and praise to my God I'll pay homage<br>

Take my parents out the stress that they've known all they life<br>

And pay all of their bills never gotta work till they die<br>

No more asking for extensions to avoid late fees<br>

And no more late nights crying by their bed on their knees<br>

No buying food on credit cause we're lacking the funds<br>

No more wondering where all of this money will come from<br>

God will see me to the day when these words breathe life<br>

And manifest the very faith that I continue to write<br>

<br>

<i>[Chorus:]</i><br>

A young kid growing up it was hard to adapt<br>

The world didn't love me so I started to rap it's cause...<br>

I...I have a dream, I...I have a dream<br>

Late nights all alone steady feeling confused<br>

I took a look at my life ain't got nothing to lose it's cause...<br>

I...I have a dream, I...I have a dream<br>

<br>

A young girl growing up it was hard to adapt<br>

I felt like every other girl was given life with a map<br>

They seemed to know where they were going<br>

I didn't know jack, I had to play it cool never let them see where I'm at<br>

But baby girl got tired, and I would never see my daddy<br>

All the boys were liars, and they were always getting at me<br>

You see I tried hard to remove all the scars<br>

But I could never see my dreams they were always too far<br>

Dreams of being free dreams of being able to sing<br>

I dreamt a man loved me cause I wasn't scared to be me<br>

I saw a life where every woman had respect for herself<br>

And every little girl would run and ask her mommy for help<br>

I'm not afraid to write a song that exposes my pain<br>

I lived my life backwards so when it poured it rained<br>

But I got through the weather now I'm changing the game<br>

And dreaming remains the source of everything we proclaim<br>

<br>

A young buck only knee high<br>

With thoughts of reaching the sky<br>

Rocked ball caps but knew<br>

My crown was a king size<br>

A product of my father's labor<br>

And my mother's reprise<br>

To keep my eyes past the<br>

Blue collar and live wise<br>

I can't lie, I thought of what it would be like<br>

If I compromise<br>

Walk a lie<br>

Spit death instead of life<br>

Choose to cross the line<br>

Keep a foot on both sides<br>

But the dream is too large<br>

For it to be hid inside<br>

My kid's seeds will inherit daddies dreams<br>

Daddies dreams of never having to hustle for the green<br>

Or being a slave to mans work<br>

Just to meet their needs<br>

And mami and papi<br>

Will reap the harvest of my deeds<br>

I paint a path for a generation to come<br>

No longer a peasant or slave<br>

Your own kingdom<br>

I scream freedom<br>

And let it echo through the slums<br>

Rise up pump your fist<br>

And march to the pace of the drum<br>

<BR><BR>
