The Dream
Greydon Square Lyrics

I'm dreamin' of a world with no gods at all
I wish for a world with no gods, where we don't have to follow any specific religion or belief system.

No separation, nobody takin' sides at all
There would be no division among people, no one will discriminate based on religion, race, ethnicity, class, or any other category.

No holocaust, no one indoctrinating our children
People will not suffer mass killings, and children will not be forced to believe in a particular faith or ideology.

or religious fanatics flyin' planes into our buildins'
Extremists won't perform acts of terrorism in the name of religion, which will cause destruction and loss of innocent lives.

Everybody playin' in the game of life which they can't lose
Everyone will be more focused on living life on their terms, not from a fear of losing their afterlife or a reward in heaven.

Instead of killin' for an invisible man which they can't prove
People stop murdering in the name of a God, who they can't prove exists.

Nobody dying for a book; no crusades, no war on terror headed by Bush
There are no more religious wars, no one will sacrifice their life for a book, and there will be no war on terror led by any person, including former US President George W. Bush.

I'm dreaming of a world where there is no such place as the Bible Belt
The Bible Belt is a region where people have practiced evangelical and fundamentalist Christianity with more fervor than in other areas of the United States. The singer wishes to live in a world where such pockets of religious practices do not exist.

Instead of looking up you look inside yourself
Rather than looking to external sources of meaning, people direct their attention and introspection to their own feelings, ideals, and characteristics.

and when you do find yourself, You help somebody else
When people discover their true self, they also help others to find their path in life.

Instead of praying, you do well to maintain your body's health
People should focus on taking care of their bodies through exercise, healthy eating, and medical care, rather than relying on prayer to stay healthy.

Now that's what I call a dream, I'm just glad that I have one like Martin Luther King
The singer is glad that he has a vision for a better world, just like Martin Luther King's speech where he spoke about a world free from discrimination and racism.

Maybe this religion ain't really all that it seems, but it happened and until it ends, I'mma keep rappin'
The singer acknowledges that the history of religion is problematic, but he believes that he can still contribute to the solution by making music that inspires people.

I have a dream, dream, dream, My dream, Rational Response Squad, That's what I call a dream
He has a dream for a world where people can be rational, scientific, and logical instead of following a religious dogma or blind faith.

I'm dreaming of a world where a young little girl, doesn't have to shake her ass at the class to get a referral
The singer wants to live in a world where sexual harassment and unwanted advances against minors (such as boys hitting on young girls) do not happen.

from a boy that she likes but she doesn't like herself thinking that boys like would help.
Girls should not have to seek validation or feel obligated to act a certain way towards boys to gain their attention, approval, or affection.

I'm dreaming of a world without a religion that tells me that I'm not good enough as soon as I'm born
The singer wishes to live in a world where religion does not preach that humans are inherently flawed or sinful from birth and need divine intervention to receive salvation.

That I need to be saved from a decision I didn't make that I need to pay for a piece of fruit that I never ate
He does not want to live in a world where religion claims that humans are born sinners and need to repent for the original sin committed by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (eating the forbidden fruit).

I'm dreaming of a better place, than a city with roads paved with gold
The singer doesn't want to live in a utopia where material wealth and luxury define people's status or happiness.

And bigger pearls on better gates. And it all happens right here right now while I'm still rapping
He wants to live in a world where wealth is not a priority for people's acceptance and where goodness is judged by a person's contribution to society, even though the change starts right away.

and we keep it nice and tight like gift wrapping
The rapper hopes that the change he envisions can happen without much turbulence, smoothly like unwrapping a neatly placed gift.

I'm dreaming of a world where God doesn't hate the fags, Where manifest destiny says you have to take it back, Whatever you stole from whatever race whose owed anything but mind you these are my dreams.
He envisions a world where homosexuality is not judged harshly, where the exploitation of other races or classes by any means is not acceptable because of manifest destiny. He acknowledges that these are just his dreams despite being far from the political reality.

My dream is that everybody can see this Where we all carry knowledge around like ...
The singer's dream is for everyone to realize the benefits of thinking rationally and questioning beliefs in pursuit of knowledge and progress.
