Generate meaning
1
Yeah, believe it or not
2
What kept me alive is my dreams
3
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
4
But we love to have fun
5
This is our world, from here to your hood
6
We alive man, it's okay to feel good
7
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
8
But we love to have fun
9
This is our world, from here to your hood
10
Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good
11
I got a friend named Flow
12
Who got a friend named Blow
13
With a finger named Clap
14
That'll leave you on the side like a Kangol hat
15
He ain't have no choice, he was born this way
16
These streets pull your number like a phone display
17
And you gotta be defensive with your life
18
You gotta be like Bush and take pre-emptive strikes
19
And the boys from the hood are always hard
20
Let alone in Mogadishu it's a mastered art
21
If you bring the world hoods to a seminar
22
We from the only place worse then Kandahar
23
Well, that's kinda hard
24
But we still like to party and hardy hard
25
Something good happens we say, 'Mashallah'
26
Something bad happens, 'Que Sera Sera'
27
I close my eyes and all I can see is you dancing with me
28
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
29
But we love to have fun
30
This is our world, from here to your hood
31
We alive man, it's okay to feel good
32
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
33
But we love to have fun
34
This is our world, from here to your hood
35
Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good
36
I'm a dreamer
37
It's okay to feel good, yeah, it's the truth
38
Ay, yo' check it out
39
What would it take for a boy about my age
40
To hear cheers in his head upon that stage
41
And the cheers that would drown out
42
The tears from my brown eyes?
43
Come on back stage, you see the screams
44
Ain't the screams from gunshot streams
45
In my dreams, these screams are from hot teens
46
And I'm barely thirteen, I pack dirty
47
Old Russian firearm that shoots thirty
48
Just then I hear the bus engine
49
I'm transcending, I'm crowd surfing
50
I can't see the time burning
51
I'm not hurting with my mahogany pen
52
I'm on a world tour with Mohammad and them
53
And we'd be overseas and not in these trees
54
Where my peeps stay alive like the Bee Gees
55
And the likes of JZ would save my steeze
56
Singing handily brought Hip Hop peace
57
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
58
But we love to have fun
59
This is our world, from here to your hood
60
We alive man, it's okay to feel good
61
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
62
But we love to have fun
63
This is our world, from here to your hood
64
Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good, I'm a dreamer
65
Sometimes we just like to have fun
66
Man, we like to forget all the fighting
67
All the guns and the tires burning
68
Back on the verse, imagine crack was in birth
69
Imagine the earth wasn't hurt, imagine no homeland alerts
70
Imagine no record locater
71
So I wouldn't have to get a criminal waiver
72
Imagine the peace wasn't in my briefs
73
Instead peace could stretch across the seas
74
So finally we could just rest and ease, no refugees
75
And you, well, you could dress in a book
76
And I can read your body with less then a look
77
I got a dream girl in my mind that's the hook
78
An intellectual, sexual and still can cook
79
Yeah, and I feel good right now
80
I feel good right here, you feel good right now?
81
You feel good?
82
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
83
But we love to have fun
84
This is our world, from here to your hood
85
We alive man, it's okay to feel good
86
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
87
But we love to have fun
88
This is our world, from here to your hood
89
Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good
90
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
91
But we love to have fun
92
This is our world, from here to your hood
93
We alive man, it's okay to feel good
94
I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems
95
But we love to have fun
96
This is our world, from here to your hood
97
Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good
98
Yeah, we not down and out just because the times are hard
99
Yeah, shout out to the struggler's in my country
100
The hardest place on earth right now but still
101
I still know how to get down, I still know how to vibe out
102
I still know how to talk to a pretty girl, take it easy now, yeah
