Dream Of A King
Krizz Kaliko Lyrics

Yeah, and they told about the capital games, venom
The people in power warned about the dangerous political games they play

Will they be if they in shackles and chains, sen’ ‘em
Those who abuse power will face consequences and be punished accordingly

Off to battle by Catherine to the grave summer
People are sent to war and risk their lives, often at the hands of those in power

‘Till the gates await for one soul murder
The ultimate price of war is death, which is not an accomplishment but a tragedy

Women livin’ in sin killed the children
People commit immoral acts that harm the innocent, such as killing children

The squad producin’ to pop the pills in
People use drugs to escape problems, but this practice only creates more problems

It’s all confusions, are not solutions
The problems we face have no easy solutions and often lead to more confusion

I’m topin’ up the plot to drop stop the blueprint
I am working to find a way to stop the cycle of violence and destruction

If anything’s ever gonna get better we gotta get rid of the vendettas
To improve our world, we must let go of grudges and seek peaceful resolution

And suffer in our endeavours
Making progress toward a better future often involves hardship and struggle

I'm the king that build this legend
I have achieved greatness and respect through my efforts and accomplishments

Never ever step on the huffle one another
We should not harm or oppress each other for any reason

Be stubborn enough to hate one another
We should not let disagreements and differences turn to hate and violence

Remember that we are brothers
Despite our differences, we are all part of the same human family

And since the scheme from the same mother
We are all connected and share a common origin

The earth and we go through the same struggles
Just like the planet we live on, we face challenges and obstacles that require resilience and adaptability

It hurts when we gotta make it work for us
It can be painful and difficult to overcome challenges and make progress toward our goals

What are we fightin’ for?
We should question why we engage in conflict and identify if it truly serves our best interests

And why do we sell war?
War is often driven by profit and gain, not justice or morality

All my country tears me brief
The problems and conflicts of my nation cause me sadness and disappointment

Scream our needs and all our grief
We must voice our concerns and demand change to address our problems and suffering

And those who scream world peace
Those who advocate for peace on a global scale

The secret dream, A dream of the kings
The desire for peace and harmony among all nations is a lofty goal

In the UK mama had a itty bitty lil' boy prue
My mother gave birth to me, a small and innocent child, while living in the UK

With a man that wasn’t like quite likely approved
My mother's partner did not conform to societal norms or expectations

Walked around Cape Town, ready for the abuse
I braced myself for mistreatment and discrimination while in Cape Town

Cause the colour of the skin was so difficult to few
My skin color made it hard for me to fit in and be accepted by society

Not dark enough, not white enough
I did not fit into either of the racial categories that dominated society

Hey boy, what be your background anyway?
People constantly asked about my racial and cultural identity, which made me feel alienated

Is there really an answer to this type of a cancer?
The obsession with racial identity and categorization is a pervasive and harmful societal issue

Human beings what my pop said we’d better save
My father stressed the importance of valuing and protecting human life

Now speedin’ up the days on the countdown
Time is running out and we must act quickly to address the issues we face

Present day is a race, better stop high
We are constantly rushing and competing, but we need to slow down and reflect to make meaningful progress

Get up and get your freedom to love one another
We must fight for our freedom to love and accept one another, regardless of differences

My brother suffered from the motherfuckers underneath the plot now
My brother experienced hardship and oppression from those in power

Now push here and just limit the true clears of the nigga men initiative
We need to challenge and break down systemic barriers that limit the opportunities and success of people of color

Like the fear of traditionally ignorant
Many people are afraid of what they don't understand or what is different from the norm

And let your guard down with the stitch you are member with
We should trust and rely on those closest to us, despite the issues that we may face

Come on God, we see the one in size
We often focus on materialistic and temporal things, rather than what truly matters in life

But we steady reachin’ for the climax of a earthly high?
We crave the temporary pleasures provided by worldly possessions and experiences

We love the money and sex more from the grace from the sky
We prioritize wealth and pleasure over spiritual or ethical values

Cravin’ a plan for someone to save me
We sometimes hope that someone else will fix our problems or save us from our struggles

Could he be real? Feelin’ me?
We may question the existence of a greater power that can affect our lives

Or should I look to the heaven?
We may turn to religion or spirituality in search of guidance and answers

I can see my sanity in a world of profanity
The vulgar and immoral aspects of society can make us feel crazy or out of place

Temptation at a all time high
The desire for materialistic and physical pleasures is more intense than ever before

Women, minister, does their pry
Women are often objectified and treated as objects of male desire

Avoidin’ the questions, tryin’ to survive
We often ignore or avoid the difficult questions and issues that we face, focusing instead on survival

Maybe yet we should just die
Some may feel that there is no hope or reason to continue living in such a troubled world

Even kings fall
No one is invincible or immune to failure or hardship

Sunset on my back bringin’ in the dark
The end of a day or chapter often signifies the beginning of something new or unknown

I ain’t always even killed, tryna gain a lil’ balance for real
I am not always completely calm or balanced, but I strive to find inner peace and stability

Because I’ve been lost
I have experienced confusion and a lack of direction in my life

Played grand politics for the kids
I have engaged in political games and manipulation for the sake of younger generations

That’s how it is
This is the reality of the world and society we live in

Innocence lost to a Mossberg kiss
The violence and trauma of conflict can take away the innocence and purity of life

What it is and what it was, plus it ain’t getting better for us
Despite our efforts, the present and future do not look optimistic or positive

Life’s worse and enough on the high when the cops speed by
Life can be difficult and stressful, especially when we are reminded of the dangers and threats present in our society

Someone told me about a dream that my son is alive
Someone shared a hopeful vision or aspiration for the future, specifically involving my son

So I told him to run it back but he didn’t reply
I expressed my desire to hear more about this dream, but did not receive a response

You see they all oughta wait dyin’ than close the high
People often prioritize avoiding death, even if it means sacrificing important values or morals

And the world’s getting smaller, yes it is
The world is becoming more interconnected and accessible, making it harder to ignore the issues and struggles faced by others

That’s the world real like, break it to doctors, the shame that parts us
This is the harsh reality of our world, which requires us to face the uncomfortable truths that divide and separate us

But I got American
Despite these struggles, I still possess a sense of hope and pride in my American heritage

Pain follows illusion my friend
Our desires and illusions can often lead to disappointment and pain
