The Dreamer

For the world world world

My name is Common, No I.D

[Verse 1]Ferrari testers, Armani dressers

Exquisite thick bitches that body bless us

Rest assured, we getting festive in Miami now

Told my nigga 'Ye I'm about to win the Grammys now

Getting Johnny Cash old white folks know me now

Standing close to the mic like I'm Kobe now

We celebrate the (?), they hate because we got love

It's the pop life, a lot of faces pop up

Known to tear the club and the block up

Going through the airport with more lie than an opera

New crooks who move books like Harry Potter

Get cleaners to get it cleaner

A legend like John, Lennon, I'm a dreamer

Tried to fuck the world she only let me finger

Mind trips to Medina to visit the redeemer

A hero, I'll drop out like Hiroshima

(?) with two broads (?)

Still opening roads for (?)

I'm a dreamer

[Hook]It's for the world world world world world

Dream on

[Verse 2]We take, uh, we make, uh, paper

And build skyscrapers

Walking on water, building my faith up

Niggas with no heart, I'm the pace maker

Get the beat from No I, feel the pulse of the Chi

Survival of the fit with hope in they eye

Taking notes from the sky to fly above understanding

They notes from the most high, so I gotta land them

Career ain't random, make anthems, streets chant them

Rock rolls like a phantom

Mad hoes like they throwing tantrums

I tell them I need space like Richard Branson

Dancing, with (?) and stars getting full at bars

And then pass out like a pamphlet

Never taking Grants for granted

It's Common, I'm high above standard

Fly nigga, keep my feet planted

To rock the planet, I don't stop for panic

Maybe I'm a hopeless hip-hop romantic

I'm a dreamer

[Hook][Verse 3]He introduced me, I stepped to the podium

Said peace, gave thanks to the holy one

Put my water up, thought about my daughter for a second

The youth, the living resurrection

Reflections of the sun glaring through the window

Now the audience staring at my mental

Feeling like the world, the world is at my fingers

'Bout to speak to an auditorium full of dreamers

Kinda took me back to when I first had a dream

To be like the king that sang Billie Jean

Now it's gold records, and I'm on silver screens

At the mountaintop, you still gotta dream

To the dreamers

[Bridge]If I dream you're here

And you dream I'm there

We'll be no where near

You should just come here

If I wake you up

Only difference is

You can live the dream

Just believe in it

[Maya Angelou]Once you find your shoulders dropping

And your speech gets slow and hazy

You better change your way of being

Before you found your brain got lazy

You can build a better future when you join the winning team

If you desire a bright tomorrow, you must build a brighter dream

Dare to let your dreams reach beyond you

Know that history holds more than it seems

We are here alive today because our ancestors dared to dream

From Africa they lay in the bilge of slave ships

And stood half naked on auction blocks

From eastern-Europe they crowded in vessels overloaded with immigrants

And were mis-named on Ellis island

From South America and Mexico, from Asia, they labored in sweat shops

From all over the world, they came to America

Many shivering in rags, and still they dared to dream

Let us dream for today and for tomorrow

Let us dare to dream
