Akala - Dreams Are... lyrics
The words it's impossible and I can't Should never be uttered because they just aren't True, we just gotta' let go Whoever saw the baby that said it couldn't grow Or the river that said it couldn't flow Get in and have a go Come along have a role But it seems we sow only seeds of doubt Just in our head yet we can't pick them out And what do the sprout? Fear and arrogance Same thing … do with extravagance Feel better or worse, than anyone here Either way still the cause is fear I am the enemy and I'm the ally Past the pauper and the Prince now can I See I'm the cause and the source of the greed All I ever think is me, me, me My Ambition, My life, My belly My radio, My car, My telly My meditation, My hurt My Temple, My Mosque, My Church Look now at my technology But I can't make a blade of gra** Oh, no please rea**ure Me the somehow I am more That is the crutch that I need for my balance Comparisons how I define my talents Conquer the World with my sword, my falace Decorate my cotch', make it look like a palace A cage may be golden, still a cage What do I mean? Let me explain Divisions of race and cla** in these prisons Make us feel better, but it ain't really living Kinda' like aspirin the numbs the pain But don't deal with the cause So nothing ever change I still feel empty, I still feel envy Having nothing though, I steal plenty Those we applaud and laud as our gentry Look back through the course of the centuries Call it history Bother to record it But all it is, is the wars that we thought in Who we have hated and stripped naked Which places, enslavement Draw on a pavement, call it a nation, give us a flag What happened to the way you Split us into factions, factions, captions Give us a distraction Lights, Camera, Action Give me an Oscar Now I'm important More than a Doctor You know the circus, make you're self worthless TV makes us more than a person Give me a badge, I'm an authority And I have the right to protect property But not people, that's far too dangerous What happens to privilege, if their the same as us But the real question that puzzles philosophers Is there another way that we don't feel sh** Or is this it? Just a bunch of misfits For what it's worth, here's my two p I think the worlds perfect, life is brilliant The only thing wrong, is our own ignorance Can't describe the beauty, the mystery Don't subscribe to beauty, that is misery Hard is for us, it's what's obvious It's obvious were independent, but that don't bother us Obvious We keep k**ing No matter what nature keeps giving Things keep growing and the earth keeps spinning What don't compete is the only thing winning Obvious that men are intermediated by women But it's obvious that women have greater power within em' With that said it's two sides of a coin Ying and the Yang like twins conjoined It's obvious people can't create wealth Only thing we destroy is ourself And the self is the hardest thing to believe in It's obvious to see that they keep deceiving Obvious that we live lives with no meaning Obvious that we forgot to keep dreaming Like we did when kids went playing That is the truth, forget what I'm saying So dream But don't dream for more cash Dream for the vision to see that your rich Don't dare dream for a better tomorrow Dream in the moment, or it's just hollow Dream for whatever, Dream to be clever Dream, Dream Jimmy and Bob made an album together Dream for whatever, Dream to be clever Dream, Dream Jimmy and Bob made an album together Dreams are just dreams when we dream together Dream Jimmy and Bob made an album together Dream forever
