I was born, raised on the same plantation
In the United States of the red, white and blue
Never knew that I was different
Till Dr. King was on a balcony lyin' in a bloody pool
I expected so much more from a lovin', a lovin', lovin' society
A truthful explanation, you know what
I got another, another conspiracy
If it was just a dream, listen
Call me, call me a dreamer too
With more rewards and accolades then anyone before or after
21st century, oh what a shame, what a shame race, race still matters
A race to what and where we goin'
We in the same boat but I'm the only one rowin'
Last time I checked you were sleepin'
But you can call me a dreamer too
Peanut bu*ter logic, served on a bed of lies
Don't go down too easy when you've seen your father cry
Have you ever clutched the steerin' wheel in your car too tight
Prayin' that the police sirens just pa** you by that night
While the helicopter circles us, this theory's gettin' deep
Think they're sprayin' chemicals over the city while we sleep
From now on I'm stayin' awake
You can call me a dreamer too
