[Group 1 Crew - I Have A Dream lyrics]
Yeah…it’s been a long time coming y’all
We dreamin’ big
(it’s the anthem) … it’s Group 1
Yo since the first time this little
Boy picked up a mic
I’ve been dreaming for the day that
You would hear it and like
Every word that I spit
Hoping you could relate
To every pain that I’ve been feeling
Since I came out the gate
Used to dream about making
It a six-figure deal
To show this world that this life
That I’ve been living is real
When I make it I’m gonna
Do everything that I’ve promised
By remaining honest and praise to
My God I’ll pay homage
Take my parents out the stress that
They’ve known all they life
And pay all of their bills never
Gotta work till they die
No more asking for extensions
To avoid late fees
And no more late nights crying by
Their bed on their knees
No buying food on credit cause
We’re lacking the funds
No more wondering where all of
This money will come from
God will see me to the day
When these words breathe life
And manifest the very faith that
I continue to write
A young kid growing up it was hard to adapt
The world didn’t love me so I
Started to rap it’s cause
I…I have a dream, I…I have a dream
Late nights all alone steady feeling confused
I took a look at my life ain’t
Got nothing to lose it’s cause
I…I have a dream, I…I have a dream
A young girl growing up it was hard to adapt
I felt like every other girl was
Given life with a map
They seemed to know where they were going
I didn’t know jack
I had to play it cool never
Let them see where I’m at
But baby girl got tired
And I would never see my daddy
All the boys were liars
And they were always getting at me
You see I tried hard to remove all the scars
But, I could never see my dreams
They were always too far
Dreams of being free dreams of
Being able to sing
I dreamt a man loved me cause
I wasn’t scared to be me
I saw a life where every
Woman had respect for herself
And every little girl would run and
Ask her mommy for help
I’m not afraid to write a
Song that exposes my pain
I lived my life backwards so
When it poured it rained
But, I got through the weather
Now I’m changing the game
And dreaming remains the source
Of everything we proclaim
A young buck only knee high
With thoughts of reaching the sky
Rocked ball caps but knew
My crown was a king size
A product of my father’s labor
And my mother’s reprise
To keep my eyes past the
Blue collar and live wise i can’t lie
I thought of what it would be like
If I compromise walk a lie
Spit death instead of life
Choose to cross the line
Keep a foot on both sides
But the dream is too large
For it to be hid inside
My kid’s seeds will inherit daddies dreams
Daddies dreams of never having to
Hustle for the green
Or being a slave to mans work
Just to meet their needs and mami and papi
Will reap the harvest of my deeds
I paint a path for a generation to come
No longer a peasant or slave
Your own kingdom i scream freedom
And let it echo through the slums
Rise up pump your fist
And march to the pace of the drum
We dreamin’ big
(it’s the anthem) … it’s Group 1
Yo since the first time this little
