The Man with A Dream

 

By Sam Barker

 

 

To all the guys feeling pressure like me

 

Don’t you go on mentioning diversity

 

Unless you show up with a hearse and a key

 

Cause the hole ghetto university, is gonna be, up on your ass—like you ain’t never have seen

 

Be ready to scream, because the man with a dream, had a plan, but it sure aint complete

 

And it starts and it ends with people like you and like me, not white, not black, but a community

 

What is it gonna take to make you see, to open your eyes, and realize, that the real enemy, are people who take our rights in a land that’s supposed to be free

 

That point one percent that thinks a sixty-year struggle don’t represent, an escape from believing in more than one equality

 

So it’s time to stop avoiding barking up the tree

 

And ask who we really fighting in reality

 

 

Change your perspective who you really wanna be

 

Just another voice or you, he, and she

 

Validity, Monogamy, I’m all about the rhymes you see

 

But it doesn’t matter what the fee, or whatever your methodology

 

As long as the common philosophy, maintains to believe in no hypocrisy, I’ll believe, there sure aint no Donald Trump magic dollar trees, and it don’t matter if you white, black, red, or green

 

So remember this, no matter how hard your dissed

 

It all started with a man very keen on displaying his dream

 

despite being more than aware of his mortality, I guess his morality

 

Was strong enough to make the people realize, that this was more than not being nice, and now it’s finally time

To fulfill the glory of he

 

Who’s still writing the story of what it means to be

 

May he forever live on in eternity

 

He was one small man with one big dream.
