[Am]
I used to dream every [A]night,

[Verse 1]
now I never dream at all
I'm hop[Am]in' that it's 'cause
I'm livin' everythin' I want
I used [A]to wake up in a bed between
my mom and aunt
Playin' with this Land Before
[Am]Time toy from Pizza Hut
My dad work[A]s nights,
puttin' on a stone [Am]face
He's savin' up so we
can get our own place
[A]In the projects,
man that sounds fancy to me
They called [Am]me "fat nose," my mom say,
"You handsome to me"
Mrs. [A]Glover ma'am,
your son is so advanced
But he's actin' up in class and
[Am]keeps peein' in his pants
And I just wanna fit [A]in,
but nobody was helpin' me out
They talkin' hood shit an[Am]d I ain't know
what that was about
'Cause hood [A]shit and black
shit is super different
So I'm talkin' hood shit and cool
[Am]it now like New Edition
Mom and [A]dad wouldn't listen
They left the Bronx so I wouldn't
be that
[Am]All their friends in NY deal crack
It's weird,
you think that they'd be proud of [G]'em
But when you leave the hood
They think that you look down on 'em
[Am]The truth is we still struggle
on a different plane
[G]Seven dollars an hour, WIC vouchers,
it's all the same
Facebook [F]messagin' hopin' that
could [G]patch up shit
But all they get now is, "Can

[Verse 2]
your son read this script?"
[A]There's a world we can
visit if we [G]go outside
[F]Outside, outside,
[Am]we c[A]an follo[G]w the road[F]
There's a [A]world we can
visit if we [G]go outside
[F]Outside, outside,
[Dm]no one k[C]nows[E]
There's a [A]world,
there's a world if we [G]go outside
[F]Outside, outside,
[A]we can fol[G]low the[F] road
There's a [A]world,
there's a world if we [G]go outside
[F]Outside, outside, no [Dm]one knows[C][E]
[Am]Yeah

[Verse 3]
[E]
Dad [A]lost his job,
mama worked at Mrs. Winner's
Gun [Am]pulled in her face,
she still made dinner
"Donald [A]watch the meter so they
don't turn the lights off"
Workin' two job[Am]s so I can get
into that white [A]school
And I hate it there
They all make fun of my clothes
and wanna touch [Am]my hair
And my uncle on that stuff
[A]that got my grandma shook
Drug dealers roughed him up and stole
his address book
He's supposed to pay [Am]'em back
[A]He owe 'em money but
his bank account is zero
So my momma made us sleep
[Am]with Phillips heads under the pillow
[A]Like that would do somethin'
But she's got six kids,
[Am]she's gotta do somethin'
She don't want [A]me in a lifestyle
like my cousin
And he mad 'cause
his father ain't around
[Am]He lookin' at me now, like
[A]"Why you so fuckin' lucky?
I had a father too
But he ain't around so I'ma take
[Am]it out on you"
We used to say,
"I love you," now we only think that [E]shit
It [G]feels weird that you're the person
I took sink baths [Am]with
Street took you over, I want my cousin back
[G]The world sayin' what you are
Because you're young and black,
don't believe 'em
You're still that kid who kept
the older boys
From teasin', for some reason

[Verse 4]
There's a [Am]world we can
[A]visit if we [G]go outside
[F]Outside, outside,
[Am]we c[A]an follo[G]w the road[F]
There's a [A]world we can
visit if we [G]go outside
[F]Outside, outside, no [Dm]one knows[Am][E]
There's a [A]world,
there's a world if we [G]go out[F]side
Outside, outside,
[A]we can fol[G]low the roa[F]d
There's a [A]world,
there's a world if we [G]go outside
[F]Outside, outside,
[Dm]no[C]
[E]one knows
[A][G]

[Verse 5]
[F]
Can you hear me [A]now?[G][F]
Can you hear me [A]now?
[G]Oh, [F]help us, Lor[Dm]d
[G]Oh, I'm scr[C]eamin' bab[E]y,[G][F]
baby
