brother ali - dreaming in color lyrics

[verse 1]
i don’t beg n0body pardon to be confident
i’m just saying my sh-t didn’t exist until i did it
i’m the one that’s suffered for the politics that i done spit
i ain’t quit, i hit every continent and bodied it
school of hard knocks equipped and i ain’t get a scholarship
bet i had it poppin’ since hip hop was on that power fist
then when y’all got counterfeit, i switched and did the opposite
now i’m on some outsider sh-t, ain’t that about a b-tch
i ain’t never lied about what my skin is, it’s obvious
i’m just so obsessed with bringin power to the powerless
i insist; i would never operate on cowardice
rather chop my wrist than be afraid to take this kind of risk
every single line i ever spit, i put it on my kids
on my blood, on my tears
all that pain, all them fears
all them shows, all them years
i was chose for this here
maybe i’m a dreamer that’s exactly what my problem is
but when i do dream, believe i see it all too clear
you can keep your money, i just wanted y’all to hear
and remember…ugh…

[verse 2]
thank heaven for blessin me with a heavy flow
twelve years old, i was already h-lla professional
let it go, follow the regular road, h-ll no
listen close to my own/ heart like a stethoscope
wrote myself an episode/ set it and lettin ’em fold
turned over every stone/ better than ever before
and every sentence i wrote/ shot it direct for your throat
made every effort to blow/ you best be ready to go
????? never get the doe/ should’ve known
didn’t p-ss and moan/ bit my lip, when out and built my own
hit the road and did the globe/ so many times i’ve lost count
time that i done been at home/ and didn’t recognize my house
doctor said i shouldn’t perform/ i just tuned ’em all out
temperature 104/ rhyme ’til i fall out
i destroyed my vocal chords/ i’mma stand tall and shout
never let it go/ until they know what i’m bout
i give it all and ain’t never runnin out
if you listen close i’ll teach you what this love’s about
just remember…

[verse 3]
y’all know i ….got that mic
on a mic/ all my life/ drop it like
glowing out my eyes at night
come on now what’s right is right
always say it’s darkest right before the dawn
come on write/ till i reach my highest height
i’ll not go out without a fight
bear witness i gets it in/ tear them b-tches limb from limb
carry this through thick and thin and just jump in and sink or swim
ain’t n0body realer than/ realest always recognize
best believe the slouchers that doubt me just keep me energized
they hold me in cages but my soul is only strengthened
my whole vocation, i rose to those occasions
growing short of patience/ my ultimate motivation
and no i don’t expect no open invitation
but you gon’ have to go bed just knowing that you’re hating
you’re ignoring greatness; that’s no exaggeration
allow me to stretch your imagination
any way you look at it this sh-t is amazing
remember..who we are..
