9th Wonder - Dream lyrics

[Produced by 9th Wonder] [Hook: Notorious B.I.G. & MLK samples] (I have a, have a dream) (It was all a dream) (We hold these truths to be self-evident...that one day...) (I have a, have a dream) (It was all a dream) (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) It's the talented (10) [Verse 1: Enigma] "It was all a dream" B.I.G. said, now I drink [?] Chillin' on my steps, fresh Headphones round my neck, to d**h, it was '96 Bumpin' Funk Flex, mom's living cheque to cheque Head in the clouds, wishin' for fresh kicks Lived two doors down from around the way chick Cool clean cut, suburban ya get? Hi-top fade, two parts in my hair Long gold chain, thoughts on a brain Love the rap game but since the slight change A crying shame but the prize I aim for Hard to paint but rap cryin' the same song Life's a [?] a trade-off, man whatchu afraid of? Whatchu made of? We bleed the same blood Love with the same love but life's a b**h and sometimes full of sh** And it's all stained up We balled on the same courts, bald stained a few [?] Family balled on the corner feelin' salty [?] It taught me not to rush, to walk, stand up Now it's one for all, my n***a all for one I drink some [Hook] [Verse 2: Sundown] Fly pidgeons in the plaza, Italiana, grazie, thanks I'm a persona, non grada I got a few propositions, cop Obama visions Hope my knees keeps the dream alive and seize the prism But never prison, she's a princess, stress to her Values and virtues and pray she learns to keep it true I'm a provider, protective over [?] folk I try to keep her close under my wing until the wind slow Keep it one trillion, like a small time deficit The precedent is set, we push peddle it Socrates our hypotheses the talented ten They pretend we don't exist like ghosts in the wind See me coastin' again, raise a pen They depend on my [?] words to curb any absurd urge But I defer, just speaking my thoughts lost in Boston Hustlin' like Malcolm, the alchemy of Martin in my soul Yea, away we go, close the books, we got another one Don't overlook and now you know, let's go [Hook]
