I Have A Dream
So-Far-I Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow I still have a dream
I swear I got a dream
I have a dream
Oooooooh I have a dream
I invite you all to take your wings to the winds
If you don't know who it is by now there's really no point
Lalala
Let's get it
Eyes closed to the terrors of the world
Blinders protect us from neglect of endeavours of a girl
Chasing our forevers on the feathers of a bird
Amnesia cuz we wonder if forever had occurred
Easier, would we want it? Or walk around haunted
By the fact that if we had it we don't have the right to flaunt it
Does the lack of light smite or give the might to write a sonnet
Is the struggle real? Is the joy like some type of vomit
We return to? Just to remind us of what we burn through
A man's only as big as the experience he turns to to push forward
Push buttons and navigate. Had a nap of late
Seen the excuses we fabricate
Just to saturate reality, I'm glad we made the gallery
Cuz all these low points make the high points a fallacy
Carelessly floating away
Disillusion is the move with which I cope for today
I'm hoping to say
I have a dream
Cuz I'm grateful for the life that I have son
I have a dream
As long as you alive on this earth man
You gotta dream
Two fingers in the sky right now if
You got a dream
Man, I gotta dream
Man, I gotta dream
Hands together as we pray for the weather
To favour our fight, every night we lay and endeavour
To sail for the light, but these storms are cunning and clever
So now the downside is everything coming together
Do you wanna try peeping the view through a summer sky
And not having deserving your spot as a runner's high
Not having your odds in the green with the numbers guy
Not having the guilt of remorse if you wanna die
Wanna cry? Its summertime, the rain hide your tears
A smile is used just to contain how you feel
So what is real, the rain or the rainbow
Foreign emotions in oceans boasting cuz they came on the same boat
That's like trophies boasting that they came with Usain Bolt
And though we oppose we stay promoting the angle
Evolving in our poses as we make for the end goal
Behind us is the hope every time that our mans go
I had a dream
That one day this nation will rise up to live out the true meaning of its creed
We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal
Hands high as we starving our self
Make it through the system just to kindergarten ourselves
Make it to the 'YES' just to 'Beg Your Pardon?' ourselves
And we're easy on the world just to be hard on ourselves
A carton of wealth, a wife and kids is all it seems life can give
It all seems to end there, even when you're a type of wiz
Confusion at that type of fix, we suffer for a life of bliss
You're welcome to like a wish. What type of life is this
Martin Luther must have asked, before somebody bust his cap
His future needed salt, fate said "where the mustard at?"
As a teen I mastered that, never looked past the fact
I could chase my dream but I would be an outcast to rap
But as the sun sets on a son set for King
I'm ready for the dark, let the sunset begin
You'll never see the day when my sun sets within




And if not for me then for my son's next of kin
I have a

When I first saw you, I saw love
And the first time you touched me, I felt love
And after all this time
You're still the one I love, mmm, yeah-yeah

Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come, my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together, still going strong, mm

You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss goodnight

Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin'

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together, still going strong

oh
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss goodnight

You're still the one

Yeah (you're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life, oh yeah

You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss goodnight

I'm so glad we made it
