I Have a Dream

(Hook – Anthem/Drill Blend)

I got a dream, yeah, bigger than the bean

From the low end blocks to the stars unseen

Power we lost, we gon' take that back

Gods and goddesses, rise, let's stack

Dream big, Chi lit, can’t quit, won’t fold

From the block to the top, yeah, watch that gold

Power back, we gods, they know

Dream in my chest, let the whole thing blow

(Verse 1 – Anthem cadence with drill pockets)

I say to you today, my kin

Even though the world still thick with sin

Even though the block got pain and sorrow

We still got light in the heart for tomorrow

Deep in my soul, rooted in the Chi

I got a dream and I'll tell you why

One day this city, this nation gon' rise

Live out truth, no more lies

That creed they wrote, we gon' make it real

“All men equal,” that’s the deal

Ain’t no color when the love is pure

Ain’t no chains that we can’t endure

(Hook)

I got a dream, yeah, bigger than the bean

From the low end blocks to the stars unseen

Power we lost, we gon' take that back

Gods and goddesses, rise, let's stack

Dream big, Chi lit, can’t quit, won’t fold

From the block to the top, yeah, watch that gold

Power back, we gods, they know

Dream in my chest, let the whole thing blow

(Verse 2 – Drill heat)

I got a dream, one day for the fam

Sons of the slaves and the sons of the man

Who held that whip gon' break that pride

Sit at the table, side by side

From Georgia red hills to the Chi-Town streets

From the dirty South to where Great Lakes meet

We gon' share bread, gon' share the truth

Pass the mic, pass the light to the youth

Dream of power we had before

Before the chains, before the war

I want my queens and my kings restored

From 63rd to heaven’s door

(Bridge – Spoken over beat drop)

No more fear in the midnight air

No more hate when the world ain’t fair

We gon' link up like never before

Heaven on earth, open the door

Dream gon' shake this land apart

Dream so loud make the coldest heart

Beat in sync, make the blind ones see

We gods, we back, let the whole world be

(Hook – Extended)

I got a dream, yeah, bigger than the bean

From the low end blocks to the stars unseen

Power we lost, we gon' take that back

Gods and goddesses, rise, let's stack

Dream big, Chi lit, can’t quit, won’t fold

From the block to the top, yeah, watch that gold

Power back, we gods, they know

Dream in my chest, let the whole thing blow

(Outro – Chant)

Dream bigger, dream louder

From the South Side to the heavens

We rise, we rise, we rise
