Sean Shakespeare - Corey Lyrics

Was it a dream?
A series of thoughts and sensations stirring my mind as I sleep
What's it mean?
When your state in time and space
Is placed in a hate for your race
The regime
Of the 1% subsequent to letting the slave go free
Feel the need to show people looking like me theyre better, rich, supreme

Never that
Stand tall proud and black
Intelligence to back that better yet
Somehow that makes me a threat
Somehow my existence I'm taught to regret
I guess it's best to assess my position
They're liars so I never listen
Oppression designed in this system
Has stripped the soul of it's victims
Our weapons are tied in our diction
Rooted in minds with a vision
Nirvana is timely and distant
Or is it?
Branded a misfit enlisted in fixing the misconception our difference is less than a gift of upliftment
Seek or remiss it
Transfixed by the human condition
Can't see it then listen

Look at them move
Take in the view
Sitting he drums to deliver the muse
I speak with it too
People are crowding the room
Dance with the groove
Rhythm and mind in unison
Nothing prove
When living to find community
Influence it
Flipping assumed
Stereotypical views
Can leave the leaders confused
What do they do
Keep us amused celebrity feuds
The media use
Distracting the youth
From seeking the truth
Diffuse it
Political moves
Programing the news
Used to it

They listen while the propaganda festers
Television sets are pathways to the brain in one step
Eyes wide, mind digest
Tuned the tube of true illusions
Mind digress
Choose your program
You will be its student

I just remember a phone call
Car trouble by my self
I need some help
It's fuzzy
I just remember that phone call...
I just remember a phone call
Car trouble by my self
I need some help
It's fuzzy
I just remember that phone call...

Open road
Headed home after the show
Mind free to roam on its own
Drumming my roll
Keeping the groove in control
We help the community grow
There's merit in bearing the soul
I overstand now
Patience

I drive and give thanks in amazement
My bond with my family's sacred
No one can take this
Through love achieve homeostasis
We're gonna make it
My egos replaced with a raised fist
Man my engine quit

Step out the car
Hood to the engine ajar
I need some help
Know a bit about motors but really dont know them that well
Called my brother and spoke of the trouble I'm in by myself
Good thing for my cell
All will be well
Just a smidgen of tough luck
Call att for the tow truck
Waiting, waiting, 30 minutes but tryna be patient
Waiting, waiting, for an hour and still I'm not anxious
Waiting waiting, wait a van just just pulled up who is this?
He gets out hes closing our distance
Doesn't look like he's roadside assistance
Calm converted to vigilance
Why am I approached by this citizen?
He asks am I good?
I say yes
He's me again I think what's next
He steps
Closer to my vicinity
Is he friend or enemy?
Curiosity met
Hands up drop
Time stopped
