Derek Minor - Sweet Dreams Lyrics
[Hook]I just want to get these dreams out,So hopefully I'll stop having these nightmaresAnd if you wanna know what a dream bout'It's that one thing you might get[Verse 1]15 years oldSitting in my bedroomWatching my baby sisterAnd praying Mom's will be home soonBurning my armsThe pressure hit me like typhoonsCuz' I'm the only black kid in my homeroomI felt the power of words that dayWhen I was called coonSharp as any swordWhen they cut, it scar youYou know the pain when people seem to ignore youI grab the teacher like "I just want to be heard!"I went home, and put it all inside a notebookPoetry is molding meLook, this how hope lookMy father is in MichiganMy step-dad addicted andMy mom's out at working all her fingers to the boneAnd I feel like I'm worthless and hurting beneath the surfaceIt's clear that I am broken Lord,I just need you in my homeAnd that dayA dream was bornThat in 16 barsYou can hear my pain in this song.[Hook][Verse 2]I see some doctors and lawyersWith a person to cure cancerAnd they don't even know itIt's a voice in they dreams, it drowned outBy the loudmouthsDreamkillers screaming for God to quiet downSo if they say that you are nothin'Tell em' thank youCuz' God created this whole universe, that is proofMeaning, we're expressions of the greatest artistBrushstrokes of The King's speech, greatest masterpieceSo why you let em' take your purpose? (Huh?)(It's the dream that he gave you)Why you believin' that you worthless? (Huh?)(It's a reason why he made you)Fly higher, inspire,You were wired to be The Lord's greatnessNaysayers are liarsAnd this what He designed me to doI'm living my dreamYou better live yours too.[Hook][Bridge]Now, all my dreamers say..(OoooooooOOoooo)Don't let em' ever take your dream away(Ooooohhhh)Now, all my dreamers say..(OoooooooOOoooo)Don't let em' ever take your dream away(Ooooohhhh)They can never take your dream away
