Ancestors' Wildest Dream Lyrics

I'm tired of convincing that my black life matter

Never see me as good enough

No matter how high, that I climb the ladder

Through all the pain, you want me to be strong

Are you insane, leave me alone

This country have killed, stole, lied, rape, hate, abused, and it burns

But one thing bout tables is they always turn

I pray I'm around

To witness the shit

Pick up your frown, cuz Karma's a bitch

Expect me to roll, roll, gently down the stream

I push and I go, but shit ain't easy as it seems

I'm not gonna lie, I cry and drop to my knees

That's when I remember

I'm my ancestors' wildest dream

Abolish the system, racial capitalism

How long are we expected to wait (Huh)

Nothing's quite different

Slightly covered and hidden

The correct term is modern day slavery

I can't pay homage to bondage

I''m honestly proud of the annies that jumped off the ship

To the ocean cuz they knew that this would be potent

I'm choking, can't breathe while you're gloating

And MLK quoting, no token, outspoken

And what has been working

Can't say that the answer is voting

Freedom is a constant struggle

Education's just a piece of this massive puzzle

You want peace then surpass your bubble

Don't minimize or despise my hustle

Put a zero on my back, say I'm nothing

Watch me rise to the sky, dunk shit

OKC now I'm Russell

Get it, Westbrook

So many subconsciously

Sacrifice being free

Cuz the dollar signs ring

Strange fruit on a tree and it's all for a fee

True freedom isn't free

I am great, so is she

They can't break what ain't weak

So they take what they see

Expections of me, I don't break but I bleed

(Roll) roll, gently down the stream

I push and I go, but shit ain't easy as it seems

I'm not gonna lie, I cry and drop to my knees

That's when I remember

I'm my ancestors' wildest dream

Expect me to roll, roll, gently down the stream

I push and I go, but shit ain't easy as it seems

I'm not gonna lie, I cry and drop to my knees

That's when I remember baby

I'm my ancestors' wildest dream

I'm my ancestors' wildest dream

Ancestors' wildest dream

Ancestors' wildest dream

Ancestors' wildest dream
