Yea
+
Believe it or not
+
What kept me alive
+
Is my dream
+
[Hook:]
+
And I'm a dreamer
+
But I ain't the only one got problems, but we we love to have fun
+
This is our world, from here to your hood,
+
We alive alive man, it's ok to feel good
+
I'm a dreamer
+
But I ain't the only one got problems, but we we love to have fun
+
This is our world, from here to your hood,
+
Lock me up now, it's ok to feel good
+
[Verse 1:]
+
I got a friend named flow,
+
Who got a friend named blow
+
With a finger named clap
+
That'll leave you on the side like a (kango) hat
+
He ain't have no choice he was born this way
+
These streets pull your number like a phone display
+
And you gotta be defensive with' your life
+
You gotta be like Bush and take preemptive strikes
+
And the boys from the hood are always hard
+
Let alone in Mogadishu it's a mastered hard
+
If you bring the (world hoods) to a seminar
+
We from the only place worse than Kandahar
+
Where that's kinda hard
+
But we still like to party in mo...
+
Somethin' good happens we say Mashala?
+
Som'in' bad happens que sara sara
+
I close my eyes and all I can see is you dancin' with' me.
+
[Hook]
+
[Verse 2:]
+
(I'm a dreamer)
+
It's ok to feel good (yea)
+
It's the truth
+
Hey yo, y' check it out,
+
What would it take for a boy about my age
+
To hear cheers in his head upon that stage?
+
And the cheers they would drown out
+
The tears from my brown eyes
+
Come on back stage
+
You see screams ain't the screams from gunshot screams
+
In my dreams these screams are from hot teens
+
And I'm barely thirteen, I pack a dirty
+
Or a Russian firearm that shoots thirty
+
Just then I hit a bus and (then I'm trancin')
+
Then I'm crowd surfin'
+
I can't see the time burnin'
+
I'm not hurting with my mahogany pen
+
I'm on a world tour with mohammad and them
+
And we be overseas and not on these streets
+
So when my peeps stay alive like the BeeGees
+
And the likes of JZ would save my (stees?)
+
Singin' handily brought hip hop peace
+
[Hook]
+
[Verse 3:]
+
Some times we just like to have fun man we like to forget
+
All the fighting, all the guns and the tires burning
+
Back on the verse
+
Imagine crack wasn't birth
+
Imagine the earth wasn't hurt
+
Imagine no homeland alerts
+
Imagine no record locater
+
So I wouldn't have to get a criminal waiver
+
Imagine the peace wasn't in my (briefs?),
+
Instead peaace could stretch across the seas
+
So finally we could just rest in the (east?)
+
No refugees
+
And you, well you could dress in the book
+
And I could read your body with less than a look
+
I got a dream girl in my mind that's the hook
+
And intellectual sexual and still can cook
+
Yea
+
And I feel good right now
+
I feel good right here
+
You feel good right now?
+
You feel good?
+
[Hook]
+
(Yea)
+
We not down and out
+
Just because the times are hard [echo]
+
Uh
+
Uh-uh
+
Uh-uh
+
Yea
+
Shout out to the strugglers
+
In my country
+
The hardest place on earth right now [echo]
+
But still
+
I still know how to get down
+
I still know how to (five out?)
+
I still know to talk to a pretty girl
+
Take it easy (yea)
+
