Defari - These DreamsLyrics

Aiyyo put one in the air for the ancestors, why'know? Cause without them, there'd be no us, that's real There's something on my mind.. everyday, all the time It's the legacy, why'know? generations, of black people Now bust this... Aiyyo i think about this government, three strikes capital punishment Enslaved my peoples for four hun-d-red Yeah, plus some Often dream of goin' back in time and givin' slaves guns {*buk!*} So they can watch the master run Watch them devil try to get away then clap his back with the shotgun I got one, let's cut his head off Let's take it to Harriet Tubman, show her that we ready to set it off She get Nat turner, Nat go get Sojourner Sojourner send a messenger for Touissant l'overture Through the underground railroad, we go Through the dark to the edge of forest to meet with Denmark Vessey, you know he got soldiers ready Ready to kill like lions, in the Serengeti So like a stampede we rush the plantation Settin' fire to everything, burn them down like cremation No hesitation, free up the black nation Kill them devils take his ships and head back for the mainland The game plan, yet and still it's just a dream I never forget, in my mind it never leave, aiyyo [Chorus: Repeat 2X] I never forget, in my mind it never leave These dreams, filled with days of slavery Never forget, in my mind it never leave These dreams, filled with days of slavery Aiyyo, aiyyo Jamie was a slave Every baby she'd have the master would take away She never seen one long enough to give a name Everytime the master would rape, Jamie'd feel ashamed She was only fourteen Violated, used and abused, far from a queen I met Jamie in a dream I gave her a brand new M-16 with two magazines I told her next time he come around Act like you want him, get him to lay down Make sure that he take off his clothing After that i want you to fill him up, full of bullet holes Release the whole clip, set trip on that motherfucker Tell him that's for disrespectin' you and your mother Your grandmother, your great-grandmother Your brother your father, in the land they call the mother Next thing you do is round up all the rest Stay together and shoot your way to freedom, god bless, aiyyo [Chorus: ] Aiyyo, I got Dj Babu in the house From the world famous, beat junkies Aiyyo, yo Babs how you feel about this? And this goes out to all the ancestors Especially to my grandmother (??) The foundation, rest in peace Love you grandma
