Dream in Color

Once a upon a time, I dreamed in color
And my page was oh so detail
I had free time
And hobbies
And I remember this time very well
It was fun
Lively
Not a care in the world
I was young precocious
Really just a material girl
In a fast moving and ever changing world

I graced stages
Like for real stages
I had intros and riders
Notebooks and torn pages
I was a writer
I was an artist
I was a performer
Speaking all Truth
Just call me Soujouner
And Ain't I am Woman
Ain't I black
And ain't I ain't I ain't I
Deserved a little respect
Always yes and never no
Do these kids even know Young Dro

I stopped living my dreams
I started living real safe
Just loyal to one team
Life became heavy on my plate
Dreaming in color took a back seat
Straight and narrow became common
I started to reconsider about what I posted
And I never ever really commented
My voice was gone
My passion subdued
I stopped having fun
No neons just nudes
Of different hues
And I know I'm from a different school
Officially an OG now
I don't have a trap or a tik tok dance
In my repertoire
But I know words
And I know how to color them
I have all the answers I need
Plus I know how to bubble them
I said I know words
Plus I know how to color them
I have all the answers I need
Plus I know how to bubble them
My thoughts are now free and clear
I will no longer muzzle them
Cause all I got left are my dreams
And I know how to color them
