Testo Make Believe - Substantial
Testo della canzone Make Believe (Substantial), tratta dall'album Home is Where the Art Is (10th Anniversary Edition)
I wish you were real
Instead of make-believe
Yeah
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 dealt?
It's no biggie for real
You just tell 'em "we deal"
And you learn how to play your cards right from the day
You saw light and you make it all right anyway
Your life will be great so all I gotta say
(I wish you were real)
Hey, I can dream, can I?
Where my daughter can 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
Nobody's glass, you know, transparent
Unbreakable soul
We be great as a whole
Unafraid to be bold
To protect and control
Even making our goals
But it's fake, yeah I know
(I wish you were real)
Hey, I can dream, can I?
I'ma speak on it
Then come up with a plot
And give it all I got
Then sleep on it
And I just might pray before I rest, I say
(I wish you were real)
Hey, I can dream, can I?
Where you wouldn't need drugs to get rid of your pain
All you need is love
Would be more than the same
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 they's got way something to burn
You were beautiful long before you were fucking with perms
Tummy tucks, implants and such
Girl I
(I wish you were real)
Hey, I can dream, can I?
Where there's only crabs in your plate or in the sea
Then maybe I wouldn't have bastards hating on me
Where hate don't exist and happiness thrives
Where we struggle much less and live happier lives
We believe in ourselves like we believe in God
Wouldn't be up in jail, life wouldn't be as hard
Know the dream is far-fetched I guess but I
(I wish you were real)
Hey, I can dream, can I?
I'ma speak on it
Then come up with a plot
And give it all I got
Then sleep on it
And I just might pray before I rest, I say
(I wish you were real)
Hey, I can dream, can I?
Where people stop wishing
Start completing they mission
Where we over teach fishing
Always eager to listen
Where the industry's stable and people pay you your fee
Then maybe I would be able to do this shit work for free
Where there's no need for a center for alternative learning
Where the teachers would be worthy of the money they earning
Better education
Constant elevation
(I wish you were real)
Hey, I can dream, can I?
I work toward it every day so I can make you see
The world I'm talking 'bout 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 they families lame
They need some dedication
Even a better nation
(I wish you were real)
Hey, I can dream, can I?
I'ma speak on it
Then come up with a plot
And give it all I got
Then sleep on it
And I just might pray before I rest, I say
(I wish you were real)
Instead of make-believe
