Wishing Edo. G (Ft. Masta Ace & Pete Rock)

"We are the dreamers of dreams"

[Verse 1: Masta Ace]
Yeah, I wish the president would stop lying
Black babies would stop crying
And young brothers would stop dying (Stop dying)
I wish the police would stop killing
Politicians stop stealing and acting like they not dealing
When they know they got bricks in the street
At the country club, fixing to eat
I can see 'em now
I wish we'd get this shit figured out
And stop going the trigger route
And actin' all nigga'd out
On the block with the nine cocked
I wish we try and stop (What?), stop wishing for the pine box
I wish we wasn't so obsessed with death
Tell me is it 'cause we blessed with less?
I don't know really
I wish the world was safer, I'm scared to travel abroad
That's why I travel with the Lord (Yeah)
I wish a cab would stop for me in the rain
I know you wanna call me insane
I'm a dreamer

"I have a dream that one day ... people ... injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream..."
