dreams deferred - kulture lyrics

[hook]
wanna, wanna do better
i wanna, wanna do better
i wanna, wanna do better but they keep pushing me down still
i pray and i cope
i been down but i rose
don’t have much but got hope
don’t have much but got hope

[verse]
i wanna do better but why they label as a criminal?
need to stay on the low for they sit me down
and question me bout my whereabouts
cause i’ve been sent back once and i don’t ever plan to go back
cause last time i was in my own land i felt i was under attack
but managed to find a way back to my home
only thing i’m really tryna to keep on the low
but that, cops acting so racist man
i can feel tension when i make a glance
see i gotta a plan, do good in this earth
but people don’t see it were misunderstood
i still got dreams, but they are deferred
dealing with sh-t but i can’t show my hurt, yet
been dealt this cards i gotta purpose
take care of my mother man i’m certain
that we’ll be ok, you know we got faith
its been hard but we better now
so when people are saying get em out
you don’t belong here what you upset about?
that sh-t angers me, this all i know
i’m american and this is home
but people don’t see it like that
and instead they wanna build walls
sit down and do nothing at all
despite it gotta stay strong sh-t
what i’m supposed to do
when it feel like n0body ever notice you
like i ain’t got family or cousins too
like i don’t gotta work and got things to do d-mn

[verse 2]
i wanna do better but tell me why my dads not around
calls and tells me he’s out of town
and he’ll be back but for now
i gotta go to school and i hate it
so much in my head i can’t take it
so i just sit down in the back
teachers get mad and i laugh
but i have a lot of issues they can’t see
cousins got deported just last week
and they expect me to pay attention
but theres somethings that you can’t teach
like i don’t understand why my dads gotta hide
when he’s just trying to provide
he tells me it will all better but i know that is just a lie
i sometimes stare up to the sky
me and my friends talk about life
smoke a joint and we get high
and for a moment everythings fine
till i go back home, my moms screaming at me
she never listens to me, she always out in the streets
i’m dudu-ducking police and i’m running away
why am i living this way?
in shadows all day, i just sit and i pray
ignore all the hate that they showing
i’ll prove em wrong i know where i’m going
i ain’t neva brake the law, done nothing wrong
i know that i’m young but i do belong
no matter what happens i’m staying strong d-mn

[hook]
i wanna, wanna do better
i wanna, wanna do better
i wanna, wanna do better
i wanna, wanna do better
for us ill never give up
i’ll never give in to what they telling me now
but no ones hearing me out
