Sweet Dreams
Derek Minor

[Hook]

I just want to get these dreams out,

So hopefully I'll stop having these nightmares

And if you wanna know what a dream bout'

It's that one thing you might get

[Verse 1]

15 years old

Sitting in my bedroom

Watching my baby sister

And praying Mom's will be home soon

Burning my arms

The pressure hit me like typhoons

Cuz' I'm the only black kid in my homeroom

I felt the power of words that day

When I was called coon

Sharp as any sword

When they cut, it scar you

You know the pain when people seem to ignore you

I grab the teacher like I just want to be heard!

I went home, and put it all inside a notebook

Poetry is molding me

Look, this how hope look

My father is in Michigan

My step-dad addicted and

My mom's out at working all her fingers to the bone

And I feel like I'm worthless and hurting beneath the surface

It's clear that I am broken Lord,

I just need you in my home

And that day

A dream was born

That in 16 bars

You can hear my pain in this song.

[Hook]

[Verse 2]

I see some doctors and lawyers

With a person to cure cancer

And they don't even know it

It's a voice in they dreams, it drowned out

By the loudmouths

Dreamkillers screaming for God to quiet down

So if they say that you are nothin'

Tell em' thank you

Cuz' God created this whole universe, that is proof

Meaning, we're expressions of the greatest artist

Brushstrokes of The King's speech, greatest masterpiece

So 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 greatness

Naysayers are liars

And this what He designed me to do

I'm living my dream

You 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
