Eye was born & raised on the same plantation
In the United States of the Red, White & Blue
Eye never knew that Eye was different, till Dr. King was on the balcony
Lyin’ in a bloody pool
Eye Xpected so much more from a loving, a loving, a loving society
A truthful Xplanation, but u know what? Eye got another, another conspiracy
If it was just a dream, listen, u can call me, u can call me a dreamer 2
More rewards & accolades than anyone b4 or after
21st century, oh what a shame, what a shame
That race, race still matters
A race 2 what, & where we going?
We r in the same boat, and Eye'm the only one rowin'
Last time Eye checked u were sleepin', but u can call me a dreamer 2
Peanut butter logic, served on a bed of lies
Don't go down 2 easy, when u seen ur father cryin'
Have u ever clutched the steering wheel of ur car 2 tight?
Prayin' that the police sirens just pass u by that night?
While the helicopter circles & the theory's gettin' deep
Think they're spraying chemicals over the city while we sleep?
From now on Eye'm stayin’ awake, but u can call me a dreamer 2
(Eye got 1 eye open for these devils)
Wake up... wake up, wake up

Prince still loves us all, black or white and I already know that Prince was and still is black, get the fuck out of here. Everyone including people of my race knows that he's black. If he was a radical, then he would openly shit on white people or a certain race group or anything for that matter.
