I Have A Dream Lyrics - Group 1 Crew - Group 1 Crew

Yeah...it's been a long time coming y'all... 

We dreamin' big...(it's the anthem)... it's Group 1 

Yo since the first time this little boy picked up a mic 

I've been dreaming for the day that you would hear it and like 

Every word that I spit hoping you could relate 

To every pain that I've been feeling since I came out the gate 

Used to dream about making it a six-figure deal 

To show this world that this life that I've been living is real 

When I make it I'm gonna do everything that I've promised 

By remaining honest and praise to my God I'll pay homage 

Take my parents out the stress that they've known all they life 

And pay all of their bills never gotta work till they die 

No more asking for extensions to avoid late fees 

And no more late nights crying by their bed on their knees 

No buying food on credit cause we're lacking the funds 

No more wondering where all of this money will come from 

God will see me to the day when these words breathe life 

And manifest the very faith that I continue to write

Chorus: 

A young kid growing up it was hard to adapt 

The world didn't love me so I started to rap it's cause... 

I...I have a dream, I...I have a dream 

Late nights all alone steady feeling confused 

I took a look at my life ain't got nothing to lose it's cause... 

I...I have a dream, I...I have a dream 

A young girl growing up it was hard to adapt 

I felt like every other girl was given life with a map 

They seemed to know where they were going 

I didn't know jack, I had to play it cool never let them see where I'm at 

But baby girl got tired, and I would never see my daddy 

All the boys were liars, and they were always getting at me 

You see I tried hard to remove all the scars 

But I could never see my dreams they were always too far 

Dreams of being free dreams of being able to sing 

I dreamt a man loved me cause I wasn't scared to be me 

I saw a life where every woman had respect for herself 

And every little girl would run and ask her mommy for help 

I'm not afraid to write a song that exposes my pain 

I lived my life backwards so when it poured it rained 

But I got through the weather now I'm changing the game 

And dreaming remains the source of everything we proclaim 

Photos 

A young buck only knee high 

With thoughts of reaching the sky 

Rocked ball caps but knew 

My crown was a king size 

A product of my father's labor 

And my mother's reprise 

To keep my eyes past the 

Blue collar and live wise 

I can't lie, I thought of what it would be like 

If I compromise 

Walk a lie 

Spit death instead of life 

Choose to cross the line 

Keep a foot on both sides 

But the dream is too large 

For it to be hid inside 

My kid's seeds will inherit daddies dreams 

Daddies dreams of never having to hustle for the green 

Or being a slave to mans work 

Just to meet their needs 

And mami and papi 

Will reap the harvest of my deeds 

I paint a path for a generation to come 

No longer a peasant or slave 

Your own kingdom 

I scream freedom 

And let it echo through the slums 

Rise up pump your fist 

And march to the pace of the drum
