[Intro]
Turn me down just a little bit (down just a little bit). ATG
[Verse 1]
Yo, I dream of blue skies—never seeing cloudy days
I'm on a high all the time without the purple haze
Claiming a bounty when everybody's health is good
No more shots getting sprayed within our neighborhoods
Call me a dreamer, but this here is an achievable goal
Just depends on how far that you're willing to go
To believe in what's real or will you choose the matrix?
It's 2000 and 12—it ain't no time for fakeness
Achieving greatness only because My Lord decreed it
And for that I'm forever humble, my people peep it
This ain't a secret—just overshadowed by false desires
You can't see what's in front of you, keep looking behind ya
No more sadness leadin' to the sad stories
No more trapping on the block leadin' the war stories
Some n***as scheming, other is n***as is frontin'
But I'm a big dreamer, so watch me come up with somethin'
[Verse 2]
Yo, I always dream about being with the ones I love
No more days of the purple brain and crying thugs
To get the wisdom of the prophets, I studied they mission
To have the faith for the Christian, so I bear witness
Upon hearing the clear message, some people listen
The truth can never be denied in any condition
Sipping on the finest wine—no intoxication
No longer needing the protests and demonstrations
Draped in the silk robes with the green bouquet
Arms covered in gold, gauntlets is set astray
Got the purified mace with the blushest eyes
‘Cause we struggle from day to day in our worldly lives
But until that time arrives, it's a constant battle
Tryna stay out the Devil's shackles and hell's castle
Some gents scheming, other gents be frontin'
But I'm a big dreamer, so watch me come up with somethin'
“I'm going on a one-way street…”
