Dreamer Lyrics - Troubadour - K'naan

Yeah, believe it or not 

What kept me alive is my dreams 

I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems 

But we love to have fun 

This is our world, from here to your hood 

We alive man, it's okay to feel good 

I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems 

But we love to have fun 

This is our world, from here to your hood 

Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good 

I got a friend named Flow 

Who got a friend named Blow 

With a finger named Clap 

That'll leave you on the side like a Kangol hat

He ain't have no choice, he was born this way 

These streets pull your number like a phone display 

And you gotta be defensive with your life 

You gotta be like Bush and take pre-emptive strikes 

And the boys from the hood are always hard 

Let alone in Mogadishu it's a mastered art 

If you bring the world hoods to a seminar 

We from the only place worse then Kandahar 

Well, that's kinda hard 

But we still like to party and hardy hard 

Something good happens we say, 'Mashallah' 

Something bad happens, 'Que Sera Sera' 

I close my eyes and all I can see is you dancing with me 

I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems 

But we love to have fun 

This is our world, from here to your hood 

We alive man, it's okay to feel good

I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems 

But we love to have fun 

This is our world, from here to your hood 

Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good 

I'm a dreamer 

It's okay to feel good, yeah, it's the truth 

Ay, yo' check it out 

What would it take for a boy about my age 

To hear cheers in his head upon that stage 

And the cheers that would drown out 

The tears from my brown eyes? 

Come on back stage, you see the screams 

Ain't the screams from gunshot streams 

In my dreams, these screams are from hot teens 

And I'm barely thirteen, I pack dirty 

Old Russian firearm that shoots thirty 

Just then I hear the bus engine 

I'm transcending, I'm crowd surfing 

I can't see the time burning 

I'm not hurting with my mahogany pen 

I'm on a world tour with Mohammad and them 

And we'd be overseas and not in these trees 

Where my peeps stay alive like the Bee Gees 

And the likes of JZ would save my steeze 

Singing handily brought Hip Hop peace 

I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems 

But we love to have fun 

This is our world, from here to your hood 

We alive man, it's okay to feel good 

I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems 

But we love to have fun 

This is our world, from here to your hood 

Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good, I'm a dreamer 

Sometimes we just like to have fun 

Man, we like to forget all the fighting 

All the guns and the tires burning 

Back on the verse, imagine crack was in birth 

Imagine the earth wasn't hurt, imagine no homeland alerts 

Imagine no record locater 

So I wouldn't have to get a criminal waiver 

Imagine the peace wasn't in my briefs 

Instead peace could stretch across the seas 

So finally we could just rest and ease, no refugees 

And you, well, you could dress in a book 

And I can read your body with less then a look 

I got a dream girl in my mind that's the hook 

An intellectual, sexual and still can cook 

Yeah, and I feel good right now 

I feel good right here, you feel good right now? 

You feel good? 

I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems 

But we love to have fun 

This is our world, from here to your hood 

We alive man, it's okay to feel good 

I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems 

But we love to have fun 

This is our world, from here to your hood 

Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good 

I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems 

But we love to have fun 

This is our world, from here to your hood 

We alive man, it's okay to feel good 

I'm a dreamer but I ain't the only one got problems 

But we love to have fun 

This is our world, from here to your hood 

Lock me up now, it's okay to feel good 

Yeah, we not down and out just because the times are hard 

Yeah, shout out to the struggler's in my country 

The hardest place on earth right now but still 

I still know how to get down, I still know how to vibe out 

I still know how to talk to a pretty girl, take it easy now, yeah
