Awakening the Dream: Embracing the Power Within
Lyrics
I really hope u don't listen to this
I hope you don't listen to this.
Sincerely hoping that my gifts won't be wasted on the ungrateful and hateful again
Hoping that my talents won't be wasted on ungrateful and hateful individuals again.
But for the patient the ones who been waiting with faith and knowing grace is in there faces
For those who have been patient and faithful, knowing that grace is present in their faces.
All you gotta do is wait for it church
Just wait for it, like in a church setting.
I made it simple as can be
The message is simple.
It ain't rocket science but why not believe that you can be the one to make a rocket fly
Believe that achieving great things is possible, even if it seems straightforward.
Every person I heard say
Referencing people dismissing the relevance of math in their daily jobs.
I don't use that math at my job today
Some limit their thinking and resist change.
Limited they brain to stay static stagnant
Contrasting with Asians and Indians who are actively contributing to technological advancements.
While the Asians and Indians running rampant
Mentioning the creation of iPhones and the role of technology in our lives.
With the codes laboring creating iPhones
Reflecting on societal issues like materialism and artificial enhancements.
Somethings abreast I guess it's silicone
Questioning why there isn't more focus on building and progress.
Why we ain't building
Highlighting the exploitation of Earth's resources, particularly in our living spaces.
I mean most of earth's precious metals
Emphasizing that everything originates from black, a reference to African heritage.
And materials are being mined from our living room
Observing the undeniable connection between nature and black origins.
Indigenous to every surface
Asserting that black is inherent in every aspect of the world.
The terrain plane the air the water is ours Stars
Stating that black is foundational, including in the stars.
Everything started with black
Reflecting on the historical and cultural importance of black.
Just look at nature ain't no denying the facts
Commenting on the calming effect of certain instrumentals on vocalists.
Justice on this beat
Expressing a relaxed state of mind, allowing thoughts to flow freely.
There are times when the instrumental allows the vocalist to relax
Suggesting a spiritual connection with ancestors during a reflective moment.
This is one of those times vibing to the sounds
Committing to teach and share knowledge in honor of those who came before.
my mind went for a ride and I let it fly
Determined not to give up, inspired by the resilience of predecessors.
I Let it fly
Emphasizing the importance of embracing and expressing love for those close.
You can feel the ancestors jumping from the slave ship called Jesus on this one
Observing the differences in the world compared to personal expectations.
I'ma teach us on this one
Recognizing the challenges and hardships encountered in pursuing goals.
I ain't going out like that cuz they didn't
Expressing a desire to return to a simpler, more hopeful mindset.
What's quitting' when gifted with six senses
Acknowledging youthful idealism and the learning process that comes with experience.
Visit the living if you love em hug em kiss em
Encouraging positive change by embodying the values one wishes to see in the world.
This world is different , it ain't what I envisioned
Expressing doubt and questioning the effectiveness of prayers.
When I prayed didn't know I had to sweat bleed and cry
Recognizing the challenges and effort required in realizing one's dreams.
I wanna go back to sleep, I had high hopes
Longing for a simpler time, acknowledging the innocence of youth.
But I guess that was the young boy just being naive
Concluding with a reflection on the consequences of expressing ambitious thoughts.
Be the change you wanna see
Encouraging personal responsibility to bring about positive change.
God is it too late to take these prayers back
Questioning the timing and effectiveness of prayers.
This is a lot of work a lot of dirt to turn over
Recognizing the enormity of the task at hand and the challenges to overcome.
Seeds as numerous as the stars that need to be planted
Highlighting the vast potential for positive growth and change.
And it seems this planet ain't offering helping hands
Expressing frustration with the lack of support and collaboration from others.
Everybody vanished when I was tryna plan it
Feeling isolated and abandoned when seeking assistance and guidance.
My thoughts was too big I guess
Acknowledging that ambitious thoughts may have exceeded practical feasibility.
That's what I get for thinking out load
Reflecting on the consequences of expressing ambitious thoughts publicly.
