I am the darker brother
They send me to eat in the kitchen when company comes, but I laugh
And I eat well and I grow strong
Tomorrow I will sit at the table when company comes
Nobody'll dare say to me eat in the kitchen then
Besides, they'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed
I, too, am America

Uh, Amen
Now let that preacher man preach
I heard all through the grapevine you got that shit they can't beat
I lost some feelin' in my soul so all my heart do now is beat
I took a loss, it took a toll now all I wanna do is sleep

If you ain't got it go and get it or else you don't eat
That real shit's not for everybody cause that's that shit you can't teach
I built this dream for everybody for those ones that can't preach
If you don't like it muthafuck you and that's word from mama eve

I dropped a bomb up in they lap, I had 'em jumping out they seat
That shit was news to everybody, everybody but me
Oh you ain't listen homie tell 'em I'm a muthafuckin' beast
It's The Republic bitch who does it, ain't nobody like me

Now tell me something if it's nothin why the fuck you can't speak
If the world is on your shoulders bring that over to me
If these walls come fallin' down then let me know before breach
But you gotta let that go and just set yo mind free

Cause life's too short to be worried 'bout something you can't see
I lost my home and found another right here up on these beats
Yea promises cost to much for talk to be so cheap
And the world's too cold for one to take all the heat

But give it time and they gone find out who the muthafuckin' truth
We got everything they wantin' and there's nothing they can do
Bitch we aiming for the sky like we was trying to knock it loose
And stopping's not an option 'til we come back in all who knew

Oh I heard that your dreams came true
Dreams came true
Dreams came true

Oh I heard that your dreams came true
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me

Oh I heard that your dreams came true
Dreams came true
Dreams came true

Oh I heard that your dreams came true
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me

And they said, "Never let that bullshit ever go to your head
And never put out something that you'll probably regret"
I wish that that was something I could never forget
I could never forget

And they said, "Never let that bullshit ever go to your head
And never put out something that you'll probably regret"
I wish that that was something I could never forget
I could never forget

It's cool though I lost a few pounds
Now those bitches that was so lost somehow can be found
And those people that was so gone now always around
And those n***as that ain't pick up now wanna be down

I tell 'em muthafuck you and the bitch you came with
This shit is set in motion we ain't changin' up for shit
So stop your bitchin' why you trippin' and just let that shit be
They say dreams don't last forever I'm just waiting just to see

So all I want is just a peek

Oh I heard that your dreams came true
Dreams came true
Dreams came true

Oh I heard that your dreams came true
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me

And they said, "Never let that bullshit ever go to your head
And never put out something that you'll probably regret"
I wish that that was something I could never forget
Forget
