(verse 1)
Dreams are illegal in the ghetto,
two dread locked poets, spoke of it
you might go crazy if you notice it
to have vision is to have no defense
nobody see what you see comin'
still your so convinced
see when you're operating, on higher vi(a)brations
plus your way below sea level it's hard to vibe with laymen
tell em your dreams and they'll show you the obstacles
teach you that the sky is the limit that's how they lie to you
that ain't what i would do, give you the honest truth
take a trip inside if your mind you'll find the god in you
nothing is impossible this world is your oyster
perpetual, get the message through
when you lift your voice up
teach em, how to be men and do away with that boy stuff
they'll have you making decisions fore
you knew what a choice was really!!
its a trap, just like you said in your rap
don't let these n***az k** ya dreams put your name on the map
(hook)
(I excel) dreams are illegal in the ghetto
(I excel) dreams are illegal in the ghetto
(I excel) dreams are illegal in the ghetto
(I excel) they all fail x2
(verse 2)
Plan block strategize, don't let them haters back inside
move like a mastermind, self-doubt is so asinine
so don't believe the critics, cuz they don't see the vision
they can't receive the wisdom, they only conceive the prison
of they mind, we define em as dumb deaf and blind
read ya bible they say don't cast your pearls before the swine
they of a mortal mind, you are before your time
protect ya dreams they're coming from a source that's divine
all eye seeing, my energy is Piscean
born in the month of march we look to the skies dreaming
realize demons, gone always see when you high beaming
and try to dim ya lights see how they crucified Jesus
James Brown had a vision, he wouldn't let em pimp him
own ya masters or suffer the curse if the gifted
these words of wisdom, are fit for the future generations
elevate your dreams to the top until you levitating
