Dream of a King
Bernz Lyrics

Yeah, and they told about the capital games, venom
The people in power talked about the corrupt system and its poisonous effects

Will they be if they in shackles and chains, sen’ ‘em
If the corrupt people are caught and imprisoned, will justice be served?

Off to battle by Catherine to the grave summer
People are sent to fight wars by those in power, leading to death and destruction

‘Till the gates await for one soul murder
Until someone dies, the system and its violence will continue perpetuating

Women livin’ in sin killed the children
In a world full of sin and violence, innocent children suffer the most

The squad producin’ to pop the pills in
People in power producing and promoting drugs and medication to control the masses

It’s all confusions, are not solutions
The problems we face are complex and confusing, and we need to find real solutions

I’m topin’ up the plot to drop stop the blueprint
Trying to come up with a plan to stop the corrupt system and its blueprint

If anything’s ever gonna get better we gotta get rid of the vendettas
For a better future, we need to let go of grudges and seek reconciliation

And suffer in our endeavours
We need to struggle and endure hardships to achieve our goals

I'm the king that build this legend
Referring to himself as the person trying to build a better future, taking charge of his own destiny

Never ever step on the huffle one another
We should always support and lift each other up instead of bringing each other down

Be stubborn enough to hate one another
Stubbornness and hate towards one another only leads to further conflict and division

Remember that we are brothers
We are all human beings, and we need to remember we are all in this together

And since the scheme from the same mother
Referring to the fact that all human beings come from the same mother earth, and we should care for it together

The earth and we go through the same struggles
Human beings and the earth both face hardships and struggles, and both need to be protected

It hurts when we gotta make it work for us
The struggle to make positive changes hurts, but it’s necessary for our future

[Chorus]
Refrain of the song

What are we fightin’ for?
Questioning the reasons behind wars and conflicts

And why do we sell war?
Questioning why people profit from wars and who benefits from them

All my country tears me brief
The pain and suffering caused by war affects everyone in the country

Scream our needs and all our grief
Expressing the need for change and sharing our pain and struggles with others

And those who scream world peace
Referring to people who call for peace and a better future for all

The secret dream, A dream of the kings
The dream of a better future belongs to everyone, not just those in power

Come on God, we see the one in size
Appealing to a higher power for help and guidance

But we steady reachin’ for the climax of a earthly high?
Questioning if people are too focused on earthly pleasures and if it is preventing true growth and change

We love the money and sex more from the grace from the sky

Or should I look to the heaven?
