KRS-One - My Dreams lyrics
[KRS-One - My Dreams lyrics]
I'm manifesting ("My dream")
30 years back on the scuffle with 'em weapons
Hunger in the aisle, we can roll in a second
One way in the entrance is the exit
You ain't getting out unless you wreck shit
Bullies'n'Black hoodies, man
You ain't have to be in some next shit
Every other person had a knife
Or a box cutter every other song you heard
("what motherfucker?")
This is where I grew up at
With my first songs blew up that
Where I first got my new crown gap
But you know that
It's just every once in a while
You do go back
I'm manifesting ("My dream")
I'm manifesting ("My dream")
I'm manifesting ("My dream")
I'm manifesting ("My dream")
I'm manifesting
My team, my mean, my scene, my dreams
This scene's my dreams with
Dreams just dreams
In 1985, my means were so lean
Rappers back then were so crisp and clean
How can I ever be heard or even just seen
But, indeed
Knowledge reigns even when it's sunny
Just when I thought my dream hadn't stopped
Just when I thought my dream hadn't finished
Teddy Ted's special case said
("Let's spin this!")
Just when I thought that
I couldn't build there
My visions and my dreams
Were fulfilled right there i told you
We'll be here forever if we're still here
I'm manifesting ("My dream")
I'm manifesting ("My dream")
I'm manifesting ("My dream")
I'm manifesting ("My dream")
See it in your mind's eye
Take your vision high, high
Worry 'bout no wise guy
Telling you, you can't fly
They're living a lie, lie
Telling people blah, blah
All they do is cry, cry
So when they cry, why stop
Never be a shy guy
Sail on the deck of your intellectual eye
Eye captain, help your own destiny
Your dream is like hearing this song
It was meant to be
Like this is the vision you was meant to see
Don't be scared, get prepared, now you see
I'm manifesting ("My dream")
("My dream", "My dream")
("My dream", "My dream")
("My dream", "My dream")
30 years back on the scuffle with 'em weapons
Hunger in the aisle, we can roll in a second
One way in the entrance is the exit
You ain't getting out unless you wreck shit
Bullies'n'Black hoodies, man
You ain't have to be in some next shit
Every other person had a knife
Or a box cutter every other song you heard
("what motherfucker?")
This is where I grew up at
With my first songs blew up that
Where I first got my new crown gap
But you know that
It's just every once in a while
You do go back
I'm manifesting ("My dream")
I'm manifesting ("My dream")
I'm manifesting ("My dream")
I'm manifesting ("My dream")
I'm manifesting
My team, my mean, my scene, my dreams
This scene's my dreams with
Dreams just dreams
In 1985, my means were so lean
Rappers back then were so crisp and clean
How can I ever be heard or even just seen
But, indeed
Knowledge reigns even when it's sunny
Just when I thought my dream hadn't stopped
Just when I thought my dream hadn't finished

Just when I thought that

We'll be here forever if we're still here
I'm manifesting ("My dream")
I'm manifesting ("My dream")
I'm manifesting ("My dream")
I'm manifesting ("My dream")
