(Hook – Anthem/Drill Blend)
I got a dream, yeah, bigger than the bean
From the low end blocks to the stars unseen
Power we lost, we gon' take that back
Gods and goddesses, rise, let's stack
Dream big, Chi lit, can’t quit, won’t fold
From the block to the top, yeah, watch that gold
Power back, we gods, they know
Dream in my chest, let the whole thing blow
(Verse 1 – Anthem cadence with drill pockets)
I say to you today, my kin
Even though the world still thick with sin
Even though the block got pain and sorrow
We still got light in the heart for tomorrow
Deep in my soul, rooted in the Chi
I got a dream and I'll tell you why
One day this city, this nation gon' rise
Live out truth, no more lies
That creed they wrote, we gon' make it real
“All men equal,” that’s the deal
Ain’t no color when the love is pure
Ain’t no chains that we can’t endure
(Hook)
I got a dream, yeah, bigger than the bean
From the low end blocks to the stars unseen
Power we lost, we gon' take that back
Gods and goddesses, rise, let's stack
Dream big, Chi lit, can’t quit, won’t fold
From the block to the top, yeah, watch that gold
Power back, we gods, they know
Dream in my chest, let the whole thing blow
(Verse 2 – Drill heat)
I got a dream, one day for the fam
Sons of the slaves and the sons of the man
Who held that whip gon' break that pride
Sit at the table, side by side
From Georgia red hills to the Chi-Town streets
From the dirty South to where Great Lakes meet
We gon' share bread, gon' share the truth
Pass the mic, pass the light to the youth
Dream of power we had before
Before the chains, before the war
I want my queens and my kings restored
From 63rd to heaven’s door
(Bridge – Spoken over beat drop)
No more fear in the midnight air
No more hate when the world ain’t fair
We gon' link up like never before
Heaven on earth, open the door
Dream gon' shake this land apart
Dream so loud make the coldest heart
Beat in sync, make the blind ones see
We gods, we back, let the whole world be
(Hook – Extended)
I got a dream, yeah, bigger than the bean
From the low end blocks to the stars unseen
Power we lost, we gon' take that back
Gods and goddesses, rise, let's stack
Dream big, Chi lit, can’t quit, won’t fold
From the block to the top, yeah, watch that gold
Power back, we gods, they know
Dream in my chest, let the whole thing blow
(Outro – Chant)
Dream bigger, dream louder
From the South Side to the heavens
We rise, we rise, we rise
