I was born, raised on the same plantation
In the United States of the red, white and blue
Never knew that I was different
Till Dr. King was on a balcony lyin´ in a bloody pool

I expected so much more from a lovin´, a lovin´, lovin´ society
A truthful explanation, you know what
I got another, another conspiracy

If it was just a dream, listen
Call me, call me a dreamer too

With more rewards and accolades then anyone before or after
21st century, oh what a shame, what a shame race, race still matters
A race to what and where we goin´
We in the same boat but I´m the only one rowin´

Last time I checked you were sleepin´
But you can call me a dreamer too

Peanut butter logic, served on a bed of lies
Don´t go down too easy when you´ve seen your father cry
Have you ever clutched the steerin´ wheel in your car too tight
Prayin´ that the police sirens just pass you by that night

While the helicopter circles us, this theory´s gettin´ deep
Think they´re sprayin´ chemicals over the city while we sleep

From now on I´m stayin´ awake
You can call me a dreamer too
