Dreamer

Lyrics English

The closer I get, the more I can taste it
Written in stone, can’t nobody break it
Whatever might come, I’ll be ready to face it
‘Cuz if you walk for a mile in my shoes
You’ll see I’m a dreamer just like you

Step into my shoes you can see the soul
Exhale in the crib, you could see the cold
Prisoners to a path that we never chose
Left us in the cracks but we proceeded to be the rose

And mom would hide but I could still hear the crying
Skipping all your dinners pretending it’s all fine
Even when they cut the heat somehow we never lost the fire
Didn’t always have a whip but you we always had the drive

Even though we’ve come so far
There’s still a long way to go
But it’s a long, long road from the life we used to know
Even though I try so hard
It gets the better part of me
But I’m a long, long way
From the man I used to be

The closer I get the more I can taste it
Written in stone can’t nobody break it
Whatever might come, I’ll be ready to face it
‘Cuz if you walk for a mile in my shoes
You’ll see I’m a dreamer just like you, like you, yeah

Heart of a Lion, ain’t no trapping my pride in a cage
Can’t no ICE stop my shine, baptized in the flames
Cuz I got tired of living lies, disguised and ashamed
Just riding the wave, what kind of god could they possibly pray to
Throw me under the bus and pay me under the table
Prisoners in public, cuffing mothers abducting they babies

Hiding undercovers when undercovers would raid
See you kept us in the kitchen whenever company came, but today

I too sing America
And if you out here searching for a monster
I suggest you hold a mirror up
It ain’t no fear in us
and it’s apparent this the theme
you can sleep on the boy but you could never kill the dream, king

The closer I get the more I can taste it
Written in stone can’t nobody break it
Whatever might come, I’ll be ready to face it
‘Cuz if you walk for a mile in my shoes
You’ll see I’m a dreamer just like you, like you, yeah

You (2x) yeah (3x), you, I’m a dreamer, you
You’ll see I’m a dreamer just like you

I bruise, I bleed, fought all my life
I’m a dreamer just like you
I fall, I rise, walk through the fire
I’m a dreamer just like you
I bruise, bleed, fought all my life
I’m a dreamer just like you
I fall, I rise, walk through the fire

The closer I get the more I can taste it
Written in stone can’t nobody break it
Whatever might come, I’ll be ready to face it
‘Cuz if you walk for a mile in my shoes
You’ll see I’m a dreamer

The closer I get the more I can taste it
Written in stone can’t nobody break it
Whatever might come, I’ll be ready to face it
‘Cuz if you walk for a mile in my shoes
You’ll see I’m a dreamer just like you, like you, yeah

You (2x) yeah (3x), you, I’m a dreamer, you
You’ll see I’m a dreamer just like you, like you, yeah
