The Dreamer Lyrics - Common

For the world, world, world 

My name is Common, No I.D 

Ferrari testers, Armani dressers 

Exquisite thick bitches that body bless us 

Rest assured, we getting festive in Miami now 

Told my nigga 'Ye I'm about to win the Grammys now 

Getting Johnny Cash old white folks know me now 

Standing close to the mic like I'm Kobe now 

We celebrate disaster , they hate because we got love 

It's the pop life, a lot of faces pop up 

Known to tear the club and the block up 

Going through the airport with more lie than an opera 

New crooks who move books like Harry Potter 

Get cleaners to get it cleaner 

A legend like John, Lennon, I'm a dreamer 

Tried to fuck the world she only let me finger 

Mind trips to Medina to visit the redeemer 

A hero, I'll drop out like Hiroshima 

Off Sangria with two broads 

Still opening roads for 

I'm a dreamer

It's for the world, world, world, world, world 

Dream on 

We take, uh, we make, uh, paper 

And build skyscrapers 

Walking on water, building my faith up 

Niggas with no heart, I'm the pace maker 

Get the beat from No I, feel the pulse of the Chi 

Survival of the fit with hope in they eye 

Taking notes from the sky to fly above understanding 

They notes from the most high, so I gotta land them 

Career ain't random, make anthems, streets chant them 

Rock rolls like a phantom 

Mad hoes like they throwing tantrums 

I tell them I need space like Richard Branson 

Dancing, with wolves and stars getting full at bars 

And then pass out like a pamphlet 

Never taking Grants for granted 

It's Common, I'm high above standard 

Fly nigga, keep my feet planted 

To rock the planet, I don't stop for panic 

Maybe I'm a hopeless hip-hop romantic 

I'm a dreamer

It's for the world, world, world, world, world 

Dream on 

He introduced me, I stepped to the podium 

Said peace, gave thanks to the holy one 

Put my water up, thought about my daughter for a second 

The youth, the living resurrection 

Reflections of the sun glaring through the window 

Now the audience staring at my mental 

Feeling like the world, the world is at my fingers 

'Bout to speak to an auditorium full of dreamers 

Kinda took me back to when I first had a dream 

To be like the king that sang Billie Jean 

Now it's gold records, and I'm on silver screens 

At the mountaintop, you still gotta dream 

To the dreamers 

If I dream you're here 

Angel dreaming there 

You should just come here 

If I wake you up 

Only difference is 

You can live the dream 

Just believe in it 

Once you find your shoulders dropping 

And your speech gets slow and hazy 

You better change your way of being 

Before you found your brain got lazy 

You can build a better future when you join the winning team 

If you desire a bright tomorrow, you must build a brighter dream 

Dare to let your dreams reach beyond you 

Know that history holds more than it seems 

We are here alive today because our ancestors dared to dream 

From Africa they lay in the bilge of slave ships 

And stood half naked on auction blocks 

From eastern-Europe they crowded in vessels overloaded with immigrants 

And were mis-named on Ellis island 

From South America and Mexico, from Asia, they labored in sweat shops 

From all over the world, they came to America 

Many shivering in rags, and still they dared to dream 

Let us dream for today and for tomorrow 

Let us dare to dream
