Last night, I had a dream-/
Of fires blazing through my head-/
When my reflection turned to me-/
This is what was said-/
I had a dream I said, bout who he said-/
Bout that voice in my head, that's the devil he said-/
I don't know but this was on another level I said-/
Well then go on and pull up a chair and tell it he said-/
It was me in my bed, temple beading in sweat-/
--Tossing side to side, from the screams I said-/
--Visions of the streets, run red-/
Way more vivid than an image out of any magazine, I said-/
That's deep he said, well then peep it I said-/
-A demon then appeared in front of me, I swear-/
Nothing like a movie told me to believe, or expect-/
Coz the devil looked, just like me, I SAID/
-Got a lot of questions running through my mind, I bet-/
You know everything that I've been trying to find, I said-/
--Why's all this blood up in my eyes, I said-/
Why we stuck inside a struggle to survive, I said-/
Tell me why, these threats, tell me why we've felt-/
So much tragedy inhabiting the lives, we've led-/
--But why you want 'em to be blind, I said-/
Why you gotta keep that evil on their mind, I said-/
-Well that's the balance I provide, he said-/
--Positive and negative collide, he said-/
--I might have showed you where the knife's been, kept/
Whether or not you use it only you decide, he said-/
--You better swallow all that pride, he said-/
Look into the mirror from the other side, he said-/
-What your saying is effectively your vacant of the strength for re-/
Arranging your trajectory in life, he said-/
--I thought you'd have a bit of fight, he said-/
-Slavery's embedded in your mind, I guess-/
---Well then your destiny is mine, he said-/
-And you ain't got nothing left to do but die, he said-/
That's a lie, I said, well then prove it he said-/
--Think you've got the balls, start a movement he said-/
Talking all, kinds of righteous in your music you said-/
That you want to make a change well go and do it he said-/
I will, I said, I'ma do what I said-/
-And after you can tell 'em that you knew what I said-/
--I've seen a million of you, he said-/
--Thinkin' they could make a difference too he said/
-What Michael and Malcolm X already knew, he said-/
-What Marley Ghandi and Pac were trying to do, he said/
From Diana Kennedy Martin Mandela Lennon Guevara/
There ain't nobody I haven't gotten to, he said-/
Well regardless I said, I'ma march to my death-/
-Like the martyred fore, fathers in the path that I, step-/
-And I drive, out the devil with a grin on my face-/
As I did the light, fades and I, wake, it was all a dream-//
--But I ain't dreaming no, more-/
--Focus in the moment and I'm feeling so, sure-/
-I ain't got time for sleeping no more-/
-When a life is so short, kinda feel like 'it was all a dream'-/x2
