joe troop - the rise of dreama caldwell lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
alamance county jail house back in 2015
in a place where the biggest crooks get off scot+free
a hard workin’ momma went weak in the knees
40,000 cash bail, an outlandish decree

[verse 2]
the escorting officer, startled as well
said, “dear magistrate, pardon! but that’s an awfully high bail”
he said, “i meant what i said! she pays up or gets jailed!”
and such was the harsh fate of dreama caldwell

[verse 3]
dreama managed a daycare until one summer’s day
when another employee made a tragic mistake
a child was left on the schoolbus, a close call but still grave
though drеama wasn’t at fault, she was destined to pay

[verse 4]
whеn they issued a warrant, she went and turned herself in
and fell prey to a venomous magistrate’s whim
her kinfolk knew of a bondsman, they found a way to post bail
she went home in exchange for a mountain of debt

[chorus]
but that’s how dreama wound up here
fearless leaders persevere
[verse 5]
sheriff johnson wants mayberry, thinks andy griffith is real
another twisted old man with cold+hearted ideals
his prison’s raking in millions stealing bonds from the poor
he takes great pleasure exacting what they cannot afford

[verse 6]
dreama was counseled to take a plea deal
which meant three woeful nights locked in concrete and steel
where she stared a sick system point blank in the eye
and vowed come h+ll or high water, one day she’d watch it die

[chorus]
and that’s how dreama wound up here
fearless leaders persevere
fight on dreama, through the years
sent to lead and help us heal

[verse 7]
after serving her sentence, life was never the same
with a criminal record tethered tight to her name
o’er the death growl of dixie, amidst a brutal firestorm
dreama caldwell has risen, and she’s demanding reform

[chorus]
fight on dreama, through the years
sent to lead and help us heal
