All A Dream - Wretch 32, Knox Brown

They say we cannot become

I asked them for their reasons, yeah

They say we cannot be one, oh no

Who said you rule this kingdom?

Yeah

Shackles to Yeezys

We made the transition look easy

I’m never going back on my knees

I always stood for something, man, I fell for my dreams

Into a mosh pit where I saw blacks, whites and Asians

God’s gift, now let us baptise the pagans

Them selfies, you can keep them to yourself

I’m painting pictures just to see a better world

They always wanna feed my brain with

Negative vibes but God gets in the way

They always wanna see struggle, yeah

They always wanna put something in my way

But bun that, fire fi dem

They start trouble, we riot again

But bun that, fire fi dem

They start trouble, we riot again

It was all a dream

It was all a dream

It was all a dream

It was all a dream

They say we cannot become

I asked them for their reasons, yeah

They say we cannot be one, oh no

Who said you rule this kingdom?

Yeah

God willing

Now the odds are against us

Let’s place bets on ourselves and make a killing

In this Stevie Wonder vision, I can throw the ribbon

I mean without a White House, yeah, I’m a president

They cannot eclipse me because of my melanin

Oh, no, no

You and I, you and I

They shoot us down every time we fly

They always wanna feed my brain with

Negative vibes but God gets in the way

They always wanna see struggle, yeah

They always wanna put something in my way

But bun that, fire fi dem

They start trouble, we riot again

But bun that, fire fi dem

They start trouble, we riot again

It was all a dream

It was all a dream

It was all a dream

It was all a dream

Hope you wish us well every time we try

Broken wishing wells don’t keep our dreams alive

When we’re wishing on a star, just let us shine

One can only try, one can only try

They always wanna feed my brain with

Negative vibes but God gets in the way

They always wanna see struggle, yeah

They always wanna put something in my way

But bun that, fire fi dem

They start trouble, we riot again

But bun that, fire fi dem

They start trouble, we riot again

It was all a dream

It was all a dream

It was all a dream

It was all a dream

They say we cannot become (It was all a dream)

I asked them for their reasons, yeah (It was all a dream)

They say we cannot be one, oh no (It was all a dream)

Who said you rule this kingdom?

(It was all a dream)

They say we cannot become

I asked them for their reasons

They say we cannot be one

Who said you rule this kingdom?
