Dreamer (feat. Slikour)

Hey, I sometimes dream which is such a privilege

Some of us struggle to eat or live

Dreaming is a luxury

So we accept the surroundings of our impoverished hell

Hell, we just become it, you know

But if you dream it, maybe you can be it

Listen

There's no obsession of success where I'm from

Kids mother before they have breasts where I'm from

Life is a failing test where I'm from

Nobody works to be the best where I'm from

Rather be the worst, that's the best where I'm from

Some see the world as corners of the streets

Ibhari is the guy that has something to teach

Iclever is the guy that'll always try cheat

The apartheid system got us thinking we weak

That's why kasi people cannot reach their peak

No matter how progressive we are, we're still weak

Jews, Indians stick together so they lead

We hate ourselves, we endorse overseas

From broadcasters to corporate companies

No wonder ekasi success is a dream

And I'm a dreamer, you know

I can see the light (Oh, oh, oh)

And the future is bright (Oh yeah)

'Cause I'm a dreamer (Yeah)

And if we all just try (Oh)

To keep our dreams alive (Oh)

We'd be believers (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I can see the light (Woo)

And the future is bright (Yeah)

'Cause I'm a dreamer (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

And if we all just try (Yeah)

To keep our dreams alive (Woah, woah, woah, woah)

We'd be believers (Woah, woah)

Imagine if I meant success

It would be like blacks with assets

Ownership of shit, no one left with debts

Everyone you close to has a plan to invest

Living off salary, saving dividends

Going to the hood, everyone is paid in yens

Don't worry about being jacked 'cause it's evident

Everybody got a share of that paper mint

And no beggars will be sitting on the pavement

And no struggles over minimum payment

We're not degrading each other, that's enslavement

The hoods have enough empowered information

The value of our art and this entertainment

Is seen by government and celebrated

By broadcasters without segregation

But I'm a kasi dreamer, you know our situation, hey

I can see the light (Oh, oh, oh)

And the future is bright (Oh yeah)

'Cause I'm a dreamer (Yeah)

And if we all just try (Oh)

To keep our dreams alive (Oh)

We'd be believers (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Ayy, some brothers dream and they try to get out

But the world expresses a lot of doubt

Regret letters is what I'm talking about

Your spirit always broke and you wanna shout

You even look at yourself and you start to doubt

Is it you or your CV that has no clout?

What's worse is the papers with a thousand jobs

And you're not good enough for any one of them jobs

Interviews with no call back, this shit don't stop

It's enough to break you up, make you wanna rob

Hence the crime, you can't even trust a cop

And optimism can't be bought from a shop

I guess all we do is just window shop

For dreams out of reach until we drop

And all the kids that bubble one day will pop

I hope it could change, but I dream a lot

Changes, nothing stays the same

I believe we were meant to dream

And I won't let hopelessness bring me down

For the rest of my life

Life, life

I can see the light

And the future is bright

'Cause I'm a dreamer

And if we all just try

To keep our dreams alive

We'd be believers

I can see the light
