LYRICS:
I got sold a dream and woke up with a nightmare
Call Dr King, tell him it ain’t right here
The don’t want no peace, they wanting us to fight here
Aw yeah it’s quite clear…..
Yea, I don’t see races I’m color blind
And I don’t speak racist, I’m color mime
How come when we babies our color fine
But somewhere long the way man we done lost our minds
I don’t understand these technicalities
And what exactly make someone a special nationality
Take me for example you see technically I’m white
But let me get my summer tan on, you can’t see that boy at night, right….
And please don’t think I’m playing cause I’m serious
I just play it off with sarcasm cause I’m furious
Come on y’all, what year is this? How long we been hearing this
Bickering bout pigment man, I swear we sound so ignorant
Actually we ig-nant, hating over pigment
As if anybody ever got to choose their pigment
And if that ain’t bad enough we gone and teach our kids it
So generation after generation just relives this nightmare!
Cause I got sold a dream and woke up with a nightmare
Call Dr King and tell him it ain’t right here
Yea they don’t want no peace, they wanting us to fight here
Aww yea it’s quite clear…
But ooh no, I ain’t gone hate, it’s all love
I ain’t gone hate, it’s all love
I ain’t gone hate, nah! I ain’t gone hate, nah!
I ain’t gone hate, awww nah
It’s all love… love… it’s all love
But that ain’t what they want us to know, no that ain’t what they want us to see
They want when I see you and you see me, we see enemies
You got your gun I got my gun and now we both thinking squeeze
They want us running through these streets just terrified of police, no peace
They’d rather white and blacks, hate each other, fight and act
Like some type of maniac, but I refuse I refuse
I won’t falling in that trap, nah I’m seeing straight through that
Cause if that’s how we all react, then we all lose we all lose
Plus the news throwing fuel on the fire with their lies
And agendas, strength in numbers so they want us all divided
Man I’m so tired of all the Facebook dissing, you so tough than face the system
Let’s change our thinking to eracism, let’s go!!
Cause I got sold a dream and woke up with a nightmare
Call Dr King and tell him it ain’t right here
Yea they don’t want no peace, they wanting us to fight here
Aww yea it’s quite clear…
But ooh no, I ain’t gone hate, it’s all love
I ain’t gone hate, it’s all love
I ain’t gone hate, nah! I ain’t gone hate, nah!
I ain’t gone hate, awww nah
Cause I got sold a dream… Someone call Dr King…
They don’t want no peace…. Aww yea it’s quite clear….
But aww nah, it’s all love…
Man, how long we gonna keep tripping over this?
This same obstacle, this same hurdle, this same issue man… damn
Your skin is black, my skin is white
Nah, we can’t unite, we gone fight
Oh that’s right your skin is white, my skin is black
So miss me with your daps, boy we sposed scrap!!
Lord have mercy, controversy
Everybody talking bout what’s in my verses
And I don’t even understand what I did wrong
Cause I just live my life, write it down and put it in song
And way I see it, I done kept quiet way too long
Cause I done been had these feelings now they way too strong
So I’ma speak truth in love til the hate is gone
Or til the Truth above come down and take me home, gone!
