What if there was no trap, was no crack Peace in the hood, nobody had gats No drug wars, no need to rob No check fraud, everybody had jobs. [x2] Paint a perfect picture, of a life picture perfect. No crimes no murder so there's no funeral service to attend to. Erase what you been through, turn your life around And the whole world commends you, I tend to Dream about things that we can do Think about the things that you did do, I can't judge I send to, but most things we think about are pitied to, Just another generation coming after me and you. [Chorus:] What If, what if, Life was just a dream We can't seem to wake up, hidin behind the make up Welcome to my nightmare, Someone please pinch me, cause I can't seem to wake up No one's here to save us, I wonder if my life's a dream. What if slavery was prison, what if everything we learned Came from television, And they treated us like children Wanna talk to the priest, but he's playin with the children Lock me up for a sentence the money laundering million Wow that's a whole lot to think about, it comes from the heart SongtexteSo I spit it out my mouth, it don't matter where your from The north or the south, the east or the west We dream in the same house, sleep on the same couch Sweatin from nightmares, no matter what you plot We praying the same prayers, feel the same pain We share the same tears, living the same life In a world that's not fair. [Chorus] What if kids could go to school, And didn't have to worry about there peers being cool. Or what if it really wasn't cool to rock jewels And if you rocked jewels, they looked at you like a fool I'm telling you what it do, I'm talking about my dream Dream like dr. kind, I ain't tryna preach to ya. I'm tellin ya what I've seen, I'm tryna paint a scene Let me tell you what I mean, we come from a rich land We was all born kings, the women were all queens Inheritance through jeans, but look at us all now. So what does it all mean, I really couldn't tell yea But it feels like a dream, I'm still in the trap surrounded by dope fiends. [Chorus] Aus Songtexte Mania
