Exile
The American Dream (Remix)
[Verse 1: Blu]
Uh
Is the planet after Venus
American dreams by dreams sequenced, and this the remix
I pledge my allegiance to Jesus and my dreams is the same as King’s is
All I want is a leader to lead us, a teacher to teach us, united under one common thesis
If only we could reach this agreement
We can all receive the achievement, beliеve it
All I want is to fly like a phoenix
Bird is my words touch many diffеrent regions
You heard about the pharaohs in Egypt
Wait until you hear me rip the mic to pieces
Brother peace is the master pieces to a masterpiece
We told the master “peace” and at last we free
Got the right to bear arms so I grabbed the heat
And aim it at all the bad police
All I want is equality and justice
Maybe then you’ll learn how to love us and trust us
Stop tryna bust us for nothin’
I’m gonna be someone maybe the next Frederick Douglass

[Chorus: Miguel & The Last Artful, Dodgr]
I can't sleep, my mind's catching up to me
Dreams keeping me awake (You'll see everything's in order, know you know)
I can't sleep, my dream's catching up to me
Lose sleep, leave me awake (You'll see everything's in order you know)
I can't sleep, my mind's catching up to me (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Dreams keeping me awake (Ooh-ooh, you'll see everything, I know what you want)
[Verse 2: Blu]
We all have dreams for America especially when it’s gettin’ scarier and scarier
Don’t let the devil bury then try to make a barrier to keep you out of heaven
All I want is a brand new president, no drama with police and peace in my residence
It’s evident we still lack justice and equality
When racism’s killin our economy
Equal opportunity a joke, no hope if your skin color isn’t the same as the pope
Dope killin’ our folks while brutality and murder got us fearin the po
And here we go again blacks getting killed by the po again
Burnin’ down your business and lootin’ all your stores again
I tell you what I want, I don’t wanna be poor again
All because the color of my skin, then again
All I want is this pandemic to end
So I can go outside and be around all my friends
We got 27 old amendments to amend
May the lord be on our side of the fence
American dream

[Chorus: Miguel & The Last Artful, Dodgr]
I can't sleep, my mind's catching up to me
Dreams keeping me awake (You'll see everything's in order, know you know)
I can't sleep, my dream's catching up to me
Lose sleep, leave me awake (You'll see everything's in order you know)
I can't sleep, my mind's catching up to me (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Dreams keeping me awake (Ooh-ooh, you'll see everything's in order, know you know)
I can't sleep, my dream's catching up to me
Lose sleep, leave me awake (You'll see everything, I know what you want)
[Interlude: Miguel & The Last Artful, Dodgr]
What you want
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Know you know

[Bridge: Miguel]
I see it clearly when I close my eyes

[Chorus: Miguel & The Last Artful, Dodgr]
I can't sleep, my mind's catching up to me
Dreams keeping me awake (You'll see everything's in order, know you know)
I can't sleep, my dream's catching up to me
Lose sleep, leave me awake (You'll see everything's in order you know)
I can't sleep, my mind's catching up to me (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Dreams keeping me awake (Ooh-ooh, you'll see everything's in order, know you know)

[Outro: Sample]
And now, why talk about this?
Is it interesting, is it important?
For the human being to realize that in some sense of the word, whatever it means
He is God or one with God
