I dreamed of a new world an hour ago
All my stepping stones led to a mountain of gold
I was only nineteen, when it had got in my soul
Made myself a new world order and got it to go
But i'd know from one taste it was feeling like a high
The love we now send to all the martyrs above
We're finally sharing ambition and then dividing the sums
When the youth had had a vision the vision became us..
I had a dream
A dream with you my lover
I had a dream
A vision like no other
I never worry bout the end just beware of the start
The same pa**ion that i fear had drove my parents apart
It's all clearer in the light, i ain't scared when it's dark
When we would huddle in our clothes, drop flows, in borough park
We had the right path, but something misdirected
The kid inside me surely was destined to be neglected
I protected my own
Saw the world through the methylone
Can bet i said it we live for the unexpected
I protected the dreams, my ambition had sold her
Walk the stage for a grammy i'll never take a diploma
Oh i chase finer fruits, just to rot when i'm older
We built it from the ground we're bound to be standing here when it's over
Spilling sh** on my coaster i can't see it straight
Am i impatient or are am i doomed if we wait?
Too soon too late
I'm hoppin the pearly gates
The record was always skippin it's time that we set it straight
Stared at a cracked watch and man it hit noon
Bout to see new vision of candlelit rooms
And a smoke filled tomb but the face inside's
Of an old hustler as if he's still wise
He went through his nine, but did his faith decline?
Where was his wife when bullets went inside?
These gunshots had flew and echoed through the chamber
Fluid in his lungs and a mind filled with anger
Questioning why he was laying low and why he bleeding for
Told that we would never measure up so we need to grow
See me go at it i jump like an acrobatic til I reach a new height and I gasp like an asthmatic
They laughed at it we smiled
Knowing it all the while
The schemes that a be plotting behind the grin of a child
Who grew into a height
They'd never seen in the past
We started this with a vision i'm praying that it'll last
.. but it's a given that it'll pa**
