Am I Dreaming?

Another place
In another time ruled by the rotation of black hands
I was joyous
Patient, like an oak tree, like uh
Like I knew there'd be more for me after the winter passed
And so enthusiasm reared its eager head
And I waited
And I waited
And I waited
And then I woke up

Truly I don't recall what it was like to dream
But it don't seem like this
Piss-poor living omissions of honesty flood the screen
And I still can't submit like I ain't meet requirements
Dire straits ain't nothing new to me
I can't sit here my face looking stupid
While I'm supposed to be singing jubilee
To the triumphant incumbents of this false democracy
Claimed they bipartisan, words was hypocrisy
Friday born, Kofi ain't nothing lost on me
Except for my name so it's no use accosting me
All I hope that I give to my progeny is that
They can't decide how we live
If we decide that shit for ourselves
So when they move we say hell nah
We say hell nah we say

Dreams
The freer sequence of events

If all I saw was darkness when my eyes fell asleep then it would
It would seem to me
That I have been so used
To this void
There is so much I avoid
With these words, I can never really discern

Am I dreaming
Am I dreaming now
Am I dreaming
Am I dreaming now
Am I dreaming
Am I dreaming now
Am I dreaming
Now

If you can't really tell the difference
Between the life you living
And the dreams you're dreaming on for yourself
That means you're probably on the right path
You know what I mean

One foot in front of the other, just keep going
We see tragedy
We see trauma
We see all this hurt
Not just in like other people but in ourselves
And I feel like we discount ourselves in those situations but it's like
We here, we can see it, we can see the dreams, we here

So when you find yourself
I said when you find yourself on the vastest horizon this side of sunrise
I hope, I hope you don't take that for granted
I hope you really, you really feel centered
In that feeling
Think damn. I'm living the dream
