Are You a Dreamer? - Time, Giuseppe

Domain, Hydragang, but what’s left

Look at the smile, it’s hanging so crooked

What happened to your heart?

I hope nobody took it

Fishing for optimism, I hope I hook it

I think last night god grabbed earth and shook it

But what do we do now?

Where do we go?

Are we just actors with parts in a show?

A scowl behind a greeting, the mirror is self defeating

There’s spit in the food right now that you are eating

But you’re the one who cooked it, you’re the one who made it

Here’s my DNA, you can have it you can braid it

I seem to always leave through the emergency exit

I keep bravery at home in a drawer where I left it

I wanna reply to all of the hate, but that’ll just put more drama on my plate

So ima be a hypocrite, ima be fake

Cuz when I act like that more people relate

Hey, are you a dreamer?

Yeah, are you a dreamer?

I haven’t seen too many around lately

It’s been tough lately for dreamers

They say dreaming’s dead, no one does it anymore

It’s the perfect morning, listen to the rain chatter

In the shower feeling strange guess my brain’s scattered

Never been better and never been badder

Routine is a chasm, imagination is my ladder

Please lord, tell me what happened

I thought by now I’d be top 40 rapping

Maybe the problem is when you got something to say

That doesn’t have to do with drugs and girls all day

They’ll probably hold you down cause they numb them with them stations

Plus my country’s never been about education

Keep them at work, keep them not thinking

Keep them watching TV, fighting and drinking

Don’t think out that box cause that box is Fox

But CNN ain’t no better than them

They don’t show War is Raw like a vet’s limb

They just ignore the truth like we do veterans

Hey, are you a dreamer?

Yeah, are you a dreamer?

I haven’t seen too many around lately

It’s been tough lately for dreamers

They say dreaming’s dead, no one does it anymore

These fish here all belong in the river

And we all keep on fighting cause this city is a prison

Act your age, play your part

Shit creek is filled with debt collecting sharks

Cicada in the day, crickets in the night

Cop cars and coffee, soundtrack to my life

Last night I had a dream that the waves rolled in

Only ship I ever sunk was the one with my friends

At the end of 44th is a burgundy moon

Bats in the sky, I hope they murder me soon

Wanna climb a mountain wanna get away

I miss my grandma I wish she was alive today

16 bars ain’t enough to solve my problems

But like she would have said, go out and solve them

So that’s what ima do ima get through

If you want your dreams completed then it’s up to you

Hey, are you a dreamer?

Yeah, are you a dreamer?

I haven’t seen too many around lately

It’s been tough lately for dreamers

They say dreaming’s dead, no one does it anymore
