I am the darker brother
They send me to eat in the kitchen when company comes, but I laugh
And I eat well and I grow strong
Tomorrow I will sit at the table when company comes
Nobody'll dare say to me eat in the kitchen then
Besides, they'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed
I, too, am America
Uh, Amen
Now let that preacher man preach
I heard all through the grapevine you got that sh** they can't beat
I lost some feelin' in my soul so all my heart do now is beat
I took a loss, it took a toll now all I wanna do is sleep
If you ain't got it go and get it or else you don't eat
That real sh**'s not for everybody cause that's that sh** you can't teach
I built this dream for everybody for those ones that can't preach
If you don't like it muthaf** you and that's word from mama eve
I dropped a bomb up in they lap, I had 'em jumping out they seat
That sh** was news to everybody, everybody but me
Oh you ain't listen homie tell 'em I'm a muthaf**in' beast
It's The Republic b**h who does it, ain't nobody like me
Now tell me something if it's nothin why the f** you can't speak
If the world is on your shoulders bring that over to me
If these walls come fallin' down then let me know before breach
But you gotta let that go and just set yo mind free
Cause life's too short to be worried 'bout something you can't see
I lost my home and found another right here up on these beats
Yea promises cost to much for talk to be so cheap
And the world's too cold for one to take all the heat
But give it time and they gone find out who the muthaf**in' truth
We got everything they wantin' and there's nothing they can do
b**h we aiming for the sky like we was trying to knock it loose
And stopping's not an option 'til we come back in all who knew
Oh I heard that your dreams came true
Dreams came true
Dreams came true
Oh I heard that your dreams came true
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me
Oh I heard that your dreams came true
Dreams came true
Dreams came true
Oh I heard that your dreams came true
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me
And they said, "Never let that bullsh** ever go to your head
And never put out something that you'll probably regret"
I wish that that was something I could never forget
I could never forget
And they said, "Never let that bullsh** ever go to your head
And never put out something that you'll probably regret"
I wish that that was something I could never forget
I could never forget
It's cool though I lost a few pounds
Now those b**hes that was so lost somehow can be found
And those people that was so gone now always around
And those n***as that ain't pick up now wanna be down
I tell 'em muthaf** you and the b**h you came with
This sh** is set in motion we ain't changin' up for sh**
So stop your b**hin' why you trippin' and just let that sh** be
They say dreams don't last forever I'm just waiting just to see
So all I want is just a peek
Oh I heard that your dreams came true
Dreams came true
Dreams came true
Oh I heard that your dreams came true
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me
And they said, "Never let that bullsh** ever go to your head
And never put out something that you'll probably regret"
I wish that that was something I could never forget
Forget
