Dream

Dream

Dr. King, he had a dream.

Sadly, we couldn't make his dream a reality.

" Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee."

I bet Dr. King's dream didn't include black Americans spending 219.5 Billion Dollars in 2016 

on Alcohol including Hennessey.

" Now is the time to make real promises of democracy."

I Bet Dr. King's dream didn't include black and brown Americans being killed and being put back into slavery.

" Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.

I bet Dr. King's dream didn't include the state government, the federal government, the police,

the president, the House of Representatives, the Senate, the CIA, the FBI, the NRA, the DEA,

and even the CDC being corrupt.

Black people are still fighting like hell to prove to people that they are citizens.

How are we citizens in a land where you could have been killed for sitting in a restaurant you weren't supposed to be in?

All government organizations are trying to kill our black children.

You wanna know how they did it, by putting cocaine in your child's medicine called Ritalin

Dr. King, Dr.King, he had a dream

But his dream in America will never become a reality.
