Lyrics
Today is a new day
They call me a dreamer, I'm dreaming in a new way
Hey, they pick on me like Bobby Boucher
I'm causing more fiascos than Lupe
Most raps got putays and hoochays in 'em
From the beginning I'm like Dr. MLK dressed in denim
In the back of a truck in the south
With a dream of how blacks could live it up
(I gotta stay up on my game)
And in the meantime, I keep a lean mind
Keep the fat off my membranes and be myself
It ain't about mad wealth, it's love
(I gotta stay up on my own thang)
They try to tell us all what to do
Enslaved again like a jiggaboo
Pick a fool, any nigga'll do
That's what they're telling me and you, man
Don't wake me up until the world is what I dream
I am gonna fly, someday I'll realize my dream
Don't wake me up until the world is what I see in my dreams
I am gonna fly, someday I'll realize my dream
Don't wake me up, don't wake me up
Don't wake me up, I'd rather dream
Don't wake me up, don't wake me up
Don't wake me up, I'd rather dream, oh yeah
I do my best just to kick it (yeah)
So I don't get in any snares
Many say it's unfair, I'm rare and I'm wicked
Singing on tracks and spitting like horn players (yeah)
I'm so sincere like long prayers
I bares my soul, I screes my roles
Like a man riding a horse that's out of control
Whoa, the world is out of control, so
(I gotta stay up on my game)
Like a ballplayer the way that I lay up
Staying in my dream zone
Like a fiend I lean on my prayer
Living without a care, yeah yeah
(I gotta stay up on my own thang)
They try to box me in
Like the viewers of Fox News or Fox & Friends
I refuse to lose, I refuse to give in, I dream
Don't wake me up until the world is what I dream
I am gonna fly, someday I'll realize my dream
Don't wake me up until the world is what I see in my dreams
