DREAM. by Reaux Marquez 

My dreams ain't more than what they're meant to be.
My Dreams ain't more than what they finna be.
Finna be great, the kids round these hoods finna be great; if it's meant to be.
I seen what i seem to be, in the eyes of a little me.
But life took a toll, round when Bush took the polls.
Guess I was Meant to be, me. See ignorant bliss couldn't live with me.
Ignorant shit just don't sit with me. Overthinking think with me, thinkingly.
Don't listen to Nike know why you're doing It. Blinkingly, cut back & fourth like a middleman, willingly.
Pen & pad, just don't light up my -bright up my Christmas tree
when it's thorns I'm writing with -fightin with.
Tyson with words, y'all Tyson wit styles. Biting clowns, Black face, wipe me down, this ain't coming off, let me be, aight?
Live with the lions -Watch with the owls. 
So don't for one blink think we don't see that fake smile in the crowd, in awhile it'a cry out
for the child you been hiding for facades & fake vice findings, "you gone Be aight.."
Thinking you losing yo mind, i got cousins locked up losing they time "You gone Be aight.."
Thinking they losing they time when i learned from mine. It's kids out here losing they life "you gone Be aight.." We all children of something.
What'chu be[leave] in is how you come.
Innocent as a minute old. A menace as a minute old, this ain't coming off. You gone be aight.." I'ma be aight.
Promise me, promise me, that promises ain't real 'cause i feel we been filled with deceit(the seat), legs numb.
They lie on the stand. Can't lie where i stand, they killing dreams wit every blind case that they scan.
I used to wanna be 12 when i was a Elf, til i grew up,
seen us gunned down, & gang signs threw up. Struck not fear but hate into us.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred. So when you pulled that handgun tantrum, the soul from the fallen, we took it all in.
& Ancestry calling tryna collect my labor coins to tell me where i'm from.
The same that told us milk made you strong, held physical strength to the Sun & owned dairy farms.
Stupid for thinking we stupid. I could talk all day bout the hearts y'all break, & the things we kill for.
I'll kill for mine but my intention is to never kill yours, dream.
So don't kill my dreams.

DREAM.

Lyrics

Amerrykah
Home of the brave
Amerrykah
Home of the slaves
Amerrykah
I don't feel safe

Amerrykah
Home of the brave
Amerrykah
Home of the slaves
Amerrykah
I don't feel safe

Ameyrrkah 
Ameyrrkah
How i'm aware of ya
Staring Ya
Daring Ya
Carrying ya inferior
Weapon of mass destruction
I mashed the button
(It's) nothing like bluffing 
With something in ovens
A baker of dozens
There's dope in my cousin
My brother
My mother
My sister
My love
And myself i been killing
Myself i been feeling
Myself i been healing
Myself is no realer
Than you or than you or the truth
The root of the prequel, the sequel, the threequel
The cycle continues
I hope i offend you
You lazy hating making all of the babies
In crazy ladies
Playin'
Playin' the table
Tables are turning
The bridges are burning
You fail when you try
Now you do it and learning
Lessons are blessings
The message is earn it
Don't
Question it
Question it
Test • discern it
Spirit a hear it
Your neighbors sure won't
Then it's back to ya people
Secrets they keep us
In defense unequal
In talent • balance
Too much of the malice
You'll end up like alice
So lost in the salad of savages
Cabbage is practically 
Average of all of our africans
Backwards
Backwards
Man just tell us we backwards

In Amerrykah
Home of the broke
Land of the slaves
Only see that in Amerrykah

Land of the broke
Home of the slaves
Why only in Amerrykah ?

Amerrykah
Only
Amerrykah
We are the slaves
We are the chains
Oh 
Amerrykah
Amerrykah
We are the slaves
Full of pain

We
Turning up
Turning up
Working for dollars
We spend it
We spend it
They calling us shoppas
Deal us • kill us
They caught us • shot us
(My) people dying
See me crying
I ain't lying
I been tryna keep my eyes on the prize
When we rise why we die by surprise
Capitalize, now we flying in they eyes
Real eyes
Realize
Real lies
Money bags
Money bags
Money bags
Hunnid stacks
Hunnid stacks
Hunnid stacks
Flip it
Flip it
Flip it
Tell em bring it back
Rap it
Wrap it
Package
Package in the trap
Capture
Capture
Caption
Post it follow back
Go and roll on rollercoasters for the snap
Do it feel like you or you are giving back ?
Giving love and giving dap to ya pack
@...

Home of the brave
Home of the slaves
Amerrykah
I don't feel safe

Amerrykah
Home of the brave
Amerrykah
Home of the slaves
Amerrykah
I don't feel safe
