Me know, me know, me know, me know, me know, me know I walk in the dream of a kid from the go Some people say when we defeat the beast, the peace will glow Lead 'em to the freedom, when I lead 'em, yo, they grow Big up hallelujah when I'm feelin' low low It shall pass, there's a bigger photo My cup overflow, I can't do it solo When the revolution comes, it'll be beautiful I serenade like a renegade, never been afraid Of Virginia wolf, I'm the black sheep Known on black streets, no dig A beautiful Chicago kid that won't renege I might zag zig ya life adlib To find my voice, good city, mad kid Under the fig tree Unafraid in the land where the most high becomes the wave Blessed from my head to the sole of my feet The word I said, it ain't nothin' out of reach Do what I say, I achieved, I achieved You want the world? Let me preach, let me preach I manifest everything that you see I bought a chain from the streets of the street Did what I said, I achieved, I achieved And like I said, it ain't nothin' out of reach New elections, reflection Protests, marches Family came together like a partridge Ain't playin' ya game, I got my own cartridge Only playin' I do is with Lynn Nottage I found silence sittin' in my own cottage There I had to acknowledge where I'm not polished Juiced up by the queen, a green goddess The less I move, the more I know where God is Times is hard, so I had to come the hardest We gon' work it out, still pray for the jobless Still be on Cottage, still be on Stoney When I'm at the crib, some say you still owe me In some ways, I do to who, much is given Much is required when you the true in livin' Better fruit, don't eat the forbidden Speak into existence is how I make decisions Blessed from my head to the sole of my feet The word I said, it ain't nothin' out of reach Do what I say, I achieved, I achieved You want the world? Let me preach, let me preach I manifest everything that you see I bought a chain from the streets of the street Did what I said, I achieved, I achieved And like I said, it ain't nothin' out of reach
