Oh, yeah Oh, yeah Oh, yeah Oh, yeah Oh, yeah Oh, yeah I was born and raised on the same plantation United States of the Red, White, and Blue Never knew that I was different Until Dr. King was on the balcony Lying in a bloodied wound I expected so much more from a loving A loving, loving society A truthful explanation But you know what? I got another, another conspiracy If it wasn't just a dream Call me, call me a dream or two Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh All the ones in accolades They want forever 21st century, oh, what a shame Erase the face that I make Erase the what and where we're going We in a state book and I'm the only one wrong Last time I checked, you were sleeping But you can call me a dream or two Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Sounds just so good Peanut butter logic Sitting on a bed of lies Don't go down too easy Before you've seen your father cry Have you ever clutched The steering wheel in your car too tight? Praying that the police sirens just pass you by While the helicopters circle time The fear is getting deep This is me, capital of the city While we sleep I'm home, I'm staying awake You can call me a dream or two Or am I always sleeping? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
