[Intro]

Oh yeah

Oh, whoa

Oh-ooh

Yeah

[Verse 1]

I was born, raised on the same plantation

In the United States of the red, white, and blue

Never knew that I was different

'Til Dr. King was on a balcony lyin' in a bloody pool

I expected so much more from a loving

A loving, lovin' society

A truthful explanation, you know what?

I got another, another conspiracy

[Chorus]

If it was just a dream, listen

Call me, call me a dreamer too

[Verse 2]

More rewards and accolades than 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'

[Chorus]

Last time I checked, you were sleepin'

But you can call me a dreamer too

Uh, what’s up with this?

[Ad-libs]

Yeah

Oh

Yeah

Ow

Uh

[Verse 3]

Peanut butter logic, served on a bread 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 pass you by that night?

While the helicopter circles us, theories gettin' deep

Think they're sprayin' chemicals over the city while we sleep

[Chorus]

From now on, I'm stayin' awake

You can call me a dreamer too

[Outro]

Oh, I got one eye open for the devils

Oh yeah, oh yeah, no

Come on! Come on!

Wake up

Please wake up

So what's it feel like?

Do you feel like

You must be dreaming?

Time to wake up

Wake up, wake up

I pledge allegiance to...
