They had a dream and now I do too
He said he had a dream
She said she wasn't going to move
He said I'm for truth no matter who tells it
They had a vision years beyond their time
One that wouldn't submit people of color to a life of hardship
One where racism would not shake the world to the point of it being stunned
One where people can walk out the house without fear of being assulted with words of hate that hits so hard it shakes your soul
He said he had a dream
She said she wasn't getting up
He said truth is on the side of the oppresed
I said that now I have a dream
A dream where my friends wouldn't get stopped for having excessive possesion of melanin
I have a dream
A dream where my god son won't grow up thinking he's gonna land in prison but rather in college
I have a dream but I guess I have to wait 50 years for my dream to come true
