Dreamer 2000 - The Grouch, Aesop, BFAP

Oh, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, ooh

Oh, oh ah, oh ah, ooh

Oh, oh ah, dreamer, dreamer, dreamer, oh

When I dream truth is seen in the stream, I see

Where kings have lived the dream imagination

The hardest shit on Earth to possess for some

Imagine me, living this life jumping fences like August Wilson

Singing out my soul like black ass

As destiny’s grain’s pass through the broken hour glass

To be young, black and gifted

I am

We stand on legends on this microphone

When we rock it’s on

Weaving dreams through 4-tracks songs

Now uh

Now many groups have fallen to the point they can’t return?

Gimmicks and industry standards up they ass, out to burn

You can only dream about doing the shit we do

Travel all around the world and independent too

Now uh, selling tapes, rocking shows

Beyond your battle rap where do yo' ass go?

Staring at the flo' at yo'

Weak ass perform your weak shows

You need to grow up

And dreams stuck

Is what you’ll be, now uh

Waiting for your call from your record company that never comes

You just hear the knock

Beyond that

Extract yo' ass and drink what’s hot

You never had a chance unless you dreamed

And did for you

Instead expecting what they ass

Can do for you

I dream what

I do when I die, I dream that I did what I… could do

Living beyond being trapped in other people’s fear

They clearly try to inject into me here

Reminiscing of jealousy now

Cause they could never be all they could be

I’m me

Which might not be easy for you to see

But I’m

Dreaming up a place that goes beyond your reality

It was the best dream I ever had

See anything I wanted happened in it

Maybe for a minute things would go wrong

But I knew I could always change the outcome

Someway or another things would have to work right

I had the masterwork sight

The seat behind the keyboard making sounds that people like

And I liked to do the work

I put it in like an expert

Always outdoing the next jerk who claimed competition

See

Fame was not the mission

My goal to get my peers to listen and understand me

My family was supportive and I loved them

We argued and fought a lot but I put nothing above them

Though, time moved slow and fast the same

The more I dreamt, I learned how to last in the game

And my name fit my actions as I was told

A dream so vivid, I caught myself growing old

Surrounded by friends it was alright

All night sessions on progression?

Lessons being taught so valuable I listened

Even took trips and saw the world

So now you tell me, when am I supposed to wake up

I make up my life in my sleep
