Dreams Lyrics

Think I made up my mind that I don't care

Dreams been getting darker

They're looking like nightmares

Pain been getting sharper

I'm buzzin like Lightyear

Yeah I'ma catch this flight

Painting pictures so perfect but hiding in plain sight

I blame indoctrination

Look what they teach in the schools

In the churches and cartoons

It's not okay to be you

Heteronormativity concludes I must like boys

Wear dresses that's tight short, love pink

And have Barbie toys

Straight until proven otherwise

A systematic bias

Pretending just to fit in, momma knew I was lying

Would buy me skirts and wedges, bless her heart

She was trying, til she realized

I said thank you but really wasn't complying

I can't fight it

No this is not a phase

Ain't no coming out, this shits' a part of me

Deep in my body just like an artery

That's why I gotta live in sync, feel the harmony

Can't make the dreams go away

Embrace

Can't make the dreams go away

Embrace

Challenging belief systems that were imposed on me

Shadows that's unfamiliar been taking a hold of me

Look in the mirror anatomically I don't resonate

But how could this be

Maybe it's true, I was born in the wrong body

Oversimplistic

A narrative pushing self hate that's unrealistic

No it's not me with the problem

Y'all be the ones that's trippin

Cisgendered people trying to make sense of this

You do not have to understand just for you to have empathy

It's really simple, she, they/them, him

Respect what one wants to be called

Not what you want to call them

I could change, you could change

Fuck the rules, all of them

They are just social constructs

They rise, then fall again

Always options in life

You can sink, you can swim, you can float

And if you got the right tools

You could build you a boat

Don't worry about what they hear

Always sing like the birds

Just keep in mind that there are

Power in your words, let them be heard

You know

It's important to get rid of limiting beliefs

Your mind is your greatest asset

What you think, you become

What you feel, you attract

What you imagine, you create

Spread love not hate, peace
