Bat I Am In Cage Of My Being

Common ft.Will.I.
I Have a Dream

I am happy 
I am I am happy 
[Soundclip: I have a dream] 
I got a dream 
[One day] 
We gonna work it out oh oh 
We gonna work it out oh oh 
We gonna work it out 
[Soundclip: I have a dream] 
I got a dream 
We gonna work it out oh oh 
we gonna work it out oh oh 
we gonna work it out 
[Soundclip: I have a dream] 
I got a dream 
[that one day] 
that one day 
all of the people and myself 
are gonna find a better way 
My dream is to be free 
my dream is to be 
my dream my dream is to be 
my dream is to be 
my dream is to be free 

search for brighter days 
I ride through the maze of the madness 
 [bad word] is my address 
where pain and crack lives 
 [bad word] from sounds of blackness 
given this game with no time to practice 
born on the blacklist 
told I'm a little average 
life with no cabbage 
that's no money if you're from where I'm from 
funny, 
I just want some of yours son 
dark clouds seem to follow me 
alcohol that my pops swallowed bottle me 
no apology 
I walk with a boulder on my shoulder 
it's a cold war 
I'm a colder shoulder 
I fight the same fight that made Martin Luther the king 
I ain't usin' it for the right thing 
in-Between lean and the fiends 
hustle and the schemes 
I put together pieces of a dream 
I still have one 

I am happy 
I am I am happy 
[Soundclip: I have a dream] 
I got a dream 
[One day] 
We gonna work it out oh oh 
We gonna work it out oh oh 
We gonna work it out 
[Soundclip: I have a dream] 
I got a dream 
We gonna work it out oh oh 
we gonna work it out oh oh 
we gonna work it out 
[Soundclip: I have a dream] 
I got a dream 
[that one day] 
that one day 
I'ma look deeper than myself 
are gonna find a better way 
My dream is to be free 
my dream is to be 
my dream my dream is to be 
my dream is to be 
my dream is to be free 

The world see me lookin' in the mirror 
images of me gettin' much clearer 
dear self, 
I wrote a letter just to better my soul 
if I don't express it, 
then forever I hold inside 
I'm from a side where we outta control 
rap music and the hood play a fatherly role 
my story like yours, yo, gotta be told 
tryin' to make it from a gangsta to a Godlier role 
and Jewish people in cold caves 
hate has no color or age 
flip the page 
now my rage became freedom right 
write dreams in the dark 
they far, but I can see em 
I believe in heaven more than [bad word] 
blessings more than jail 
In the ghetto, let love prevail 
with a story to tell 
my eyes see the glory of, well, 
the world waitin' for me to yell 
I have a dream 

I am happy 
I am I am happy 
[Soundclip: I have a dream] 
I got a dream 
[One day] 
We gonna work it out oh oh 
We gonna work it out oh oh 
We gonna work it out 
[Soundclip: I have a dream] 
I got a dream 
We gonna work it out oh oh 
we gonna work it out oh oh 
we gonna work it out 
[Soundclip: I have a dream] 
I got a dream 
[that one day] 
that one day 
all of the people and myself 
are gonna find a better way 
My dream is to be free 
my dream is to be 
my dream my dream is to be 
my dream is to be 
my dream is to be free
