Time
Are You a Dreamer?
[Verse 1: Time]
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

[Hook: Waking Life sample]
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

[Verse 2: Time]
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

[Verse 3: Time]
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
