Yeah, believe it or not
00:01
What kept me alive is my dreams
00:05
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
00:08
But we love to have fun
00:12
This is our world, from here to your hood
00:13
We alive man, it's okay to feel good
00:15
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
00:17
But we love to have fun
00:21
This is our world, from here to your hood
00:22
Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good
00:24
I got a friend named Flow
00:26
Who got a friend named Blow
00:28
With a finger named Clap
00:30
That'll leave you on the side like a Kangol hat
00:31
He ain't have no choice, he was born this way
00:33
These streets pull your number like a phone display
00:35
And you gotta be defensive with your life
00:38
You gotta be like Bush and take pre-emptive strikes
00:40
And the boys from the hood are always hard
00:42
Let alone in Mogadishu it's a mastered art
00:44
If you bring the world hoods to a seminar
00:47
We from the only place worse then Kandahar
00:49
Well, that's kinda hard
00:51
But we still like to party and hardy hard
00:52
Something good happens we say, 'Mashallah'
00:55
Something bad happens, 'Que Sera Sera'
00:57
I close my eyes and all I can see is you dancing with me
00:59
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
01:02
But we love to have fun
01:06
This is our world, from here to your hood
01:07
We alive man, it's okay to feel good
01:09
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
01:11
But we love to have fun
01:15
This is our world, from here to your hood
01:16
Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good
01:18
It's okay to feel good, yeah, it's the truth
01:22
Ay, yo' check it out
01:28
What would it take for a boy about my age
01:29
To hear cheers in his head upon that stage
01:32
And the cheers that would drown out
01:34
The tears from my brown eyes?
01:35
Come on back stage, you see the screams
01:37
Ain't the screams from gunshot streams
01:39
In my dreams, these screams are from hot teens
01:41
And I'm barely thirteen, I pack dirty
01:43
Old Russian firearm that shoots thirty
01:45
Just then I hear the bus engine
01:47
I'm transcending, I'm crowd surfing
01:49
I can't see the time burning
01:51
I'm not hurting with my mahogany pen
01:52
I'm on a world tour with Mohammad and them
01:54
And we'd be overseas and not in these trees
01:56
Where my peeps stay alive like the Bee Gees
01:59
And the likes of JZ would save my steeze
02:01
Singing handily brought Hip Hop peace
02:03
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
02:05
But we love to have fun
02:08
This is our world, from here to your hood
02:10
We alive man, it's okay to feel good
02:12
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
02:14
But we love to have fun
02:17
This is our world, from here to your hood
02:19
Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good, I'm a dreamer
02:21
Sometimes we just like to have fun
02:25
Man, we like to forget all the fighting
02:27
All the guns and the tires burning
02:30
Back on the verse, imagine crack was in birth
02:32
Imagine the earth wasn't hurt, imagine no homeland alerts
02:35
Imagine no record locater
02:38
So I wouldn't have to get a criminal waiver
02:40
Imagine the peace wasn't in my briefs
02:42
Instead peace could stretch across the seas
02:44
So finally we could just rest and ease, no refugees
02:47
And you, well, you could dress in a book
02:50
And I can read your body with less then a look
02:53
I got a dream girl in my mind that's the hook
02:55
An intellectual, sexual and still can cook
02:57
Yeah, and I feel good right now
03:01
I feel good right here, you feel good right now?
03:05
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
03:08
But we love to have fun
03:11
This is our world, from here to your hood
03:13
We alive man, it's okay to feel good
03:15
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
03:17
But we love to have fun
03:20
This is our world, from here to your hood
03:22
Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good
03:24
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
03:26
But we love to have fun
03:29
This is our world, from here to your hood
03:31
We alive man, it's okay to feel good
03:33
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
03:35
But we love to have fun
03:38
This is our world, from here to your hood
03:40
Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good
03:42
Yeah, we not down and out just because the times are hard
03:47
Yeah, shout out to the struggler's in my country
04:04
The hardest place on earth right now but still
04:10
I still know how to get down, I still know how to vibe out
04:18
I still know how to talk to a pretty girl, take it easy now, yeah
04:23
