Hopes & Dreams

Staring at greatness, No more hatred My art is painless, Should be sacred Music under surveillance talent wasted We had dreams I forgot to chase it Watching my team from atop these pavements For us to reach these must be awakened What I believe lies in the midst of ancient Want to accept nominees release a statement My heart will freeze if I don't reach greatness I can achieve, my legend is tenacious I can be your living inspirations For those locked up praying for a better day Relieve it through poetry ain't a better way Know they'll rob you if you pray And you blame it on god like it was his fault you were sent away So around your mind you've built a barricade Cockiness is behind the fact that you're afraid Although we lead different lives we're the same We seem to be ignorant not taking blame The only difference is I give out notes to teens To tell them to reach for all their hopes and dreams You need to refrain from all these potent schemes Read books and deny these open magazines Whether you've chosen to be a marine Or if you're a poet with a pen that bleeds Never be scared of your hopes and dreams.
