MakeBelieve

Make Believe (Explicit) - Substantial

I wish you were real

Instead of make believe

Where everything's fair people live without care

Unless it's coupled with health we would all share the wealth

Where our planet won't melt don't like the hand you were delt

It's no biggie for real you just tell them re-deal

And you'd learn how to play your cards right from the day

You saw light and could make it alright anyway

Your life would be great so all I gotta say

"I wish you were real" (I can dream can't I )

Where my daughter could play and there's no possible way

She could be kidnapped or raped or even hit by a stray

Where relationships last like my grandparents

And nobody is glass you know transparent

Unbreakable soul we'd be great as a whole

Unafraid to be bold till we're taking control

Even making our goals but it's fake yeah I know

"I wish you were real" (I can dream can't I )

I'ma speak on it

Then come up with a plot give it all I got then sleep on it

And I just might pray before I rest I say

"I wish you were real" Amen Yeah (I can dream can't I )

Where you wouldn't need *** to get rid of your pain

All you need is love would be more than a saying

We would value our people and not the money they earn

We'd never stop growing always looking for something to learn

And our women would know that their scalp ain't something to burn

You were beautiful long before you were f**kin' with perms

Tummy tucks implants and such

Girl "I wish you were real" (I can dream can't I )

Where there's only crabs on your plate or in the sea

Then maybe I wouldn't have bastards hatin' on me

Where hate don't exist and happiness thrives

Where we struggle much less and live happier lives

We'd believe in ourselves like we believe in God

Wouldn't be up in jail life wouldn't be this hard

I know this dream is far fetched I guess

But "I wish you were real" (I can dream can't I )

I'ma speak on it

Then come up with a plot give it all I got then sleep on it

And I just might pray before I rest I say

"I wish you were real" Amen Yeah (I can dream can't I )

Where people stop wishin' and start completing their mission

Where we all would teach fishin' always eager to listen

Where the industries stable and people pay you your fee

Then maybe I would be able to do this youth work for free

Where there's no need for a center for Alternative Learning

And the teachers would be worthy of the money they're earning

Better education constant elevation

"I wish you were real" (I can dream can't I )

I work toward it everyday so I can make you see

The world I'm talking about ain't just gotta be make believe

So whenever you decide to do more than complain

Maybe the world would change instead of more of the same

Children in horrible pain floss without any AIM

Lost trying to maintain cause their family's lame

They need some dedication even a better nation

"I wish you were real" (I can dream can't I )

I'ma speak on it
