I was born and raised on the same plantation
In the united states of the red, white and blue
I never knew that I was different
Til Doctor King was on the balcony
Lying in a bloody pool
Expected so much more from a loving society
A truthful xplanation but you know what?
I got another conspiracy
If it was just a dream... call me
Call me a dreamer too
With more rewards and accolades
Than anyone before or after
21st century, oh what a shame
That race still matters
A race to what and where we going?
We are in the same boat
But I'm the only one rowin
Last time I checked you were sleepin'
...but you can call me a dreamer too
Peanut butter logic served on a bed of lies
Don't go down to easy
When you see ur father cryin'
Have you ever clutched the steering wheel
Of your car too tight?
Prayin' that the police sirens
Pass you by at night?
While the helicopter circles
And the theory's getting deep
Thing they're spraying chemicals over the city
While we sleep?
From now on I'm staying awake...
So you can call me a dreamer too
Wake up wake up
