Dreams / Sunshine - Wretch 32, Pantha, Shakka

Dreams

Getting lost in the world I live in

Don’t you know we will shine

Cause what’s a promise if it ain’t worth giving?

Whoa, whoa

Yeah, my brother’s keeper and my mother’s leader

My sister Kida and my uncle geniuses

My auntie dissed me, I don’t fucking need her

Guess all I’m missing is a cousin skeeter

I say my life’s like a movie, should I star in it?

Wretchi Hendrix is playing that guitar riff

Rhythm and blues, the same sad songs still on the news

Would you walk a mile as a black kid in their shoes?

As a kid, I found toys in my cereal box

Now the kids are in a box from them serial cops, popping

I lost my voice screaming about this

I guess it’s in my genes to have a crease in my trousers

They do what ain’t allowed, how can our people allow this?

Saying «don't have a cow, bitch», I feel to halal it

Sizzle and douse it, let it simmer

Sim Simma, I’m a nigga in a Bimmer

I’m a nigga in a Benz, I’m a nigga in a Porsche

My nigga, us niggas still on a horse

But it’s way more pricey

The chain’s all icey

We just went to the White House from the white street

Rollie presidential, I don’t even need a side piece

I’ma be successful, you ain’t even gotta like me

You ain’t even gotta help me, status on the selfie

When I need pounds, I’ll be snacking on the wealthy

Eating till I’m healthy, speak until the world see

See no evil and hear no people

Or fear those people, we’re soon equal

Hundred years ago, we couldn’t even score a touchdown

Wonder why when they see us ball, they get the cuffs out

Cartier the bracelet, put initials on the cuffs now

Perfect my intellect to get effects if I dumb down

Just watch how my race run now

Dreams

Getting lost in the world I live in

Don’t you know we will shine

Cause what’s a promise if it ain’t worth giving?

Whoa, whoa

All I need is good food, good people, a good groove

Then it’s good riddance to bad dudes with hood news

I don’t even read The Sun no more, just hope the rain don’t pour

That pot of gold’s on that rainbow floor

See, I see beautiful colours, I see beautiful people

I see a beautiful mother, her insignificant equal

This made a beautiful person, I hope that it changes him

Cause when he gets his rains on him, there won’t be no changing him

I done seen a mum strip to buy her son clothes

I done seen a dad shot, then get his skull blown

See, that’s a match made in heaven on the same road

Do what you gotta do to get your rainbow

Your SMA gold, to make your chain glow

That’s how the game goes, I see your halo

I know you’re hurting but you gotta keep the faith, bro

Because your funeral won’t take away the pain, bro

I mean, it’s time we start moving like Columbus and shit

Getting to our destination, then be burning the ships

Cause there’s no turning back now, the further you drift

And I won’t let a million dollar man just Virgil my clique

See, I turned into a lion in the jungle I lived

But I see how they treat the lion in this circus I’m in

So now it’s more brains, less bite, I’m working with it

But I still get to eat my dinner, have it served with a drink

Broken out of my sleep

That’s the sound of police

I’m having memory loss

Like when my mother’s telling me off

Don’t tell 'em I’m wrong

You tell 'em I lied, I’ll tell 'em I’m god

Is this a game of Simon Says?

Well, Simon says I hope the sirens end

They remind me of when

My mummy told me I should smile more

Before you blink, it’s over

No need to rush to grow up

My daddy told me I should smile more

Blue looks better in water

There’s way more colours in your heart

Sunshine (my heart’s red for you)

(Makes them green envy you)

Everybody loves the sunshine (even if our skies are grey)

(I'm still ocean blue)
