Isaiah Entsua-Mensah - MLK (Dream Big) lyrics

[Hook] Back stateside on MLK riding Low in the whip look like no one's driving (Repeat 3x) (Substantial) Whether 395 or 704 Dream big baby stay steady on course [Verse 1: See King] I grace these peasants with my presence King Martin Luther The streets with his namesakes the perfect place to find a shooter A civil rights mover turning left up in a Cougar Watching the revolution on TVs took by a looter On fire like H Street, tongue twerks on a break beat History maker tell spectator to take seat Enjoy the experience of this social experiment Send shots at Cyclops; close the eye on the pyramid I'm too dope it's no legalizing this lyricist Father MC and your baby mother's the surrogate Hip Hop's in my heritage, save it from the culture vultures and The poet poachers, still not a player though I'm dressing like the coaches Most of us fell victim, to well-placed pitfalls got my dawgs in the system The chocolate city now suffers from vitiligo The dream died on that balcony pray it wakes up tomorrow [Hook] Back stateside on MLK riding Low in the whip look like no one's driving (Repeat 3x) (Substantial) Whether 395 or 704 Dream big baby stay steady on course [Verse 2: Substantial] Mike King like the minister's initial name Fighting imprisonment and those with wicked aims Who administer pain, but we navigate the baddest fate Like our ancestors did use our head to carry weight Many chose to move it so now they facing the music Misguided warriors can't find their place amongst the movement So you know the guns stay shooting ‘cause the streets blind n***as Don't see their a budding Nobel Peace Prize Winner Tryna' eat my dinner like what's mine is yours… Really what's mine is ours, need to combine our power Why shine for hours we can reflect eternally For y'all to take me seriously, they'd have to murder me No respect like the mascot in gold & burgundy But certainly spitters this ill belong in infirmaries Still dreaming temporary setbacks be deferring me But my Corretta know betta she ride for eternity [Hook] Back stateside on MLK riding Low in the whip look like no one's driving (Repeat 3x) (Substantial) Whether 395 or 704 Dream big baby stay steady on course [Verse 3: See King] Lost my sight at the podium, blinded by diabetes A diet with too much sodium still writing this opium Claim country in crisis gain control of petroleum Dreamt big as a kid, grew to be a custodian Ma** media frenzy, beamers Benzes and Bentleys Before we party'd with panthers but now the venue is empty Still penny pinching while the devil's Willie lynching Guess my brother was too poor to pay attention…Overstand! [Verse 4: Substantia] Baby soldiers taken over never be an older man Ain't playing with a full deck, no one there to hold their hand So they hold the steel like they wielding the wrath of God Hoping for a deal for their sk** as a rapping God ….Hoping to give them chills with their catalog Or hoop dreaming ‘cause they got sk**s with a basketball But once they're at the mall speaking to and for the people Will you follow like sheep do or take a stance against evil while we're… [Hook] Back stateside on MLK riding Low in the whip look like no one's driving (Repeat 3x) (Substantial) Whether 395 or 704 Dream big baby stay steady on course
