Dream in Color (Explicit) - Cordae

I dream in color and I sleep on a canvas

I think we all need each other

Empathy that could be our advantage

Bad b***h speak Creole and Spanish

She look this way then I'm likin' my chances

Oh man why I go on these tangents

Bird's eye view this s**t panoramic

Still fightin' off my paranoia s**t too real just fired my lawyer

Trust issues I'm needin' to fix it that could be an empire destroyer

I seen what happened to Julius Caesar

Stevie Wonder told me "You are a leader"

My girl would forfeit a tennis match to meet my grandmama

Man she truly a keeper

And I don't know why these blessings is comin'

Rich as hell I'm stressed over nothin'

I don't listen to the public opinion

Their portrayal it is just an assumption

And I don't really know what a n***a been fightin' for

But I'm fightin' for it

And every song that I record be savin' lives I'm type important

If I shoot my shot

Mmm swish mmm Michael Jordan

And if I get a lot

It came from the mic recording

Hold on uh

Baby that's the difference

From other n***as makin' bad decisions

Good music that attract the business

My last album was a f**kin' classic

You can listen to that s**t from start to finish

Got good intentions and my heart relentless

Drive a Honda Civic with the windows tinted

Plus a Lamb' truck but that s**t was rented

Never no pretendin' let's be transparent

I learned that s**t from my grandparents

I've been meditatin' tryna gain clearance

But this life s**t isn't coherent it's a b***h

Wonder why I'm so down with the s**ts

Single mom no co-parents in this b***h

Used to walk to the library for the Wi-Fi

It was like four Karens in that b***h

But what's your purpose

What's your motives

What's your dreams

What's your goalses

Are your thoughts pure

Are you focused

This a real n***a diagnosis

Are your friends real

Are they bogus

Are they by your side at your lowest

Though I'm not so easily broken

But at times I feel hopeless

And I don't know why these blessings is comin'

Rich as hell I'm stressed over nothin'

I don't listen to the public opinion

Their portrayal it is just an assumption

And I don't really know what a n***a been fightin' for

But I'm fightin' for it

And every song that I record be savin' lives I'm type important

If I shoot my shot

Mmm swish mmm Michael Jordan

And if I get a lot

It came from the mic recording

Nah-nah nah-nah nah-nah-nah-nah yeah

Nah-nah nah-nah nah-nah-nah-nah yeah
