letra de dreams (young black boy) - nvthy

[intro: malcolm x]

what makes the so called negro unable to stand on his own two feet?
he has no self-confidence
he has no proud confidence in his own race
because the white man destroyed you and my past
destroyed our knowledge of our culture
and by having destroyed it now we don’t know we–
dj smallz, dj smallz
now we don’t know we have any achievements
any accomplishments
and as long you can be convinced that you never did anything you can never do anything

that’s your partner talking to you now
that’s come on-
yes, yes, yes, yes-
one more time
(pause)
ahhh-

[verse 1]
dreams of a young black boy trinna be like mike
faraday, angelo, jordan, jackson
dreams of a young black boy trinna hold a mic
and spit a line that every time you hear it you just hit re-, you just hit rewind
pause
something i rarely do
but let me just take this moment as i appreciate the view
as i look over my shoulder, look back on my past
hoping no bad decision that i make comes back to bite me in the -ss
push play on my life’s motion picture
seen my future so many times can paint you a vivid picture
well i’m next in line n-gg-, that’s how the story goes
started from the back of the line, but ain’t n-body know
the hustle and the struggle to try to come up
trinna to make your voice heard in an industry where too many voices are heard
and you know that you scared
trinna hop on the wagon
and you follow the heard
cause

[chorus]
dreams of a young black boy trinna make it in the city (yeah)
dreams of a young black boy trinna make it in the city (yeah, yeah)
dreams (dreams)
dreams of a young black boy trinna make it
dreams (dreams)
dreams of a young black boy (yeah)

[verse 2]
but you know that you different
and you know that you special
and your talents inherent
use your voice as a vessel
papa always said “boy keep on doing what you doing
your potential ain’t maxed so keep on laying ’em tracks”
and even though i gave it my all, you said that i ain’t good enough?
that i ain’t good enough?
so imma break down these chains
and imma break down these walls
and imma climb of this ladder
till i reach the top
f-ck the key to the city, i want the key to the world
i want to open all the door ain’t never opened before
wanna walk through all the hallways they never walked through before
wanna look out all the windows they never looked out before
so what’s the price of ambition
when dreaming too big ain’t permitted
in the world we live in
and your future ain’t guaranteed?
and your future ain’t guaranteed
and your future ain’t guaranteed
uh-

[verse 3]
constellations and solar systems my point of view
if you ain’t seeing that right now
then i ain’t got nothing to do with you
i tried to be good
but i was better than the good i was trying to become
so the best came out of me
now i ‘m the best of me
i’m drowning in my thoughts cause i’ve been thinking too deep
i need to suffice right now before i get trapped in my mind
i’m authentic, not perfect, but real
smoothest nigerian kid
you know the deal huh?
yeah

[chorus x2]
dreams of a young black boy trinna make it in the city (yeah)
dreams of a young black boy trinna make it in the city (yeah, yeah)
dreams (dreams)
dreams of a young black boy trinna make it
dreams (dreams)
dreams of a young black boy (yeah)

[outro]
dreams of a young black boy trinna make it in the city (yeah)
dreams of a young black boy trinna make it in the city (yeah)
dreams
dreams of a young black boy trinna make it
dreams
dreams of a young black boy
