INTRO (Sample)
 I wish you were real
 Instead of make believe.
 VERSE
 Where everything's fair, people live without care
 Unless it's coupled with health, we would all share the wealth
 Where our planet won't melt, don't like the hand you were delt
 It's no biggie for real, you just tell them re-deal
 And you'd learn how to play your cards right from the day
 You saw light and could make it alright anyway
 Your life would be great so all I gotta say
 "I wish you were real" (I can dream, can't I?!)
 Where my daughter could play and there's no possible way
 She could be kidnapped or raped or even hit by a stray
 Where relationships last like my grandparents
 And nobody is glass, you know, transparent
 Unbreakable soul, we'd be great as a whole
 Unafraid to be bold till we're taking control
 Even making our goals but it's fake, yeah I know!
 "I wish you were real" (I can dream, can't I?!)
 'ma speak on it
 Then come up with a plot, give it all I got then sleep on it
 And I just might pray before I rest I say
 "I wish you were real" Amen. Yeah. (I can dream, can't I?!)
 VERSE 2
 Where you wouldn't need drugs to get rid of your pain
 All you need is love would be more than a saying
 We would value our people and not the money they earn
 We'd never stop growing always looking for something to learn
 And our women would know that their scalp ain't something to burn
 You were beautiful long before you were fuckin' with perms
 Tummy tucks, implants and such
 Girl "I wish you were real" (I can dream, can't I?!)
 Where there's only crabs on your plate or in the sea
 Then maybe I wouldn't have bastards hatin' on me
 Where hate don't exist and happiness thrives
 Where we struggle much less and live happier lives
 We'd believe in ourselves like we believe in God
 Wouldn't be up in jail life wouldn't be this hard
 I know this dream is far fetched, I guess
 But "I wish you were real" (I can dream, can't I?!)
 Where people stop wishin' and start completing their mission
 Where we all would teach fishin' always eager to listen
 Where the industries stable and people pay you your fee
 Then maybe I would be able to do this youth work for free
 Where there's no need for a center for Alternative Learning
 And the teachers would be worthy of the money they're earning
 Better education, constant elevation
 "I wish you were real" (I can dream, can't I?!)
 I work toward it everyday so I can make you see
 The world I'm talking about ain't just gotta be make believe
 So whenever you decide to do more than complain
 Maybe the world would change instead of more of the same
 Children in horrible pain, floss without any AIM
 Lost, trying to maintain cause their family's lame
 They need some dedication even a better nation
 "I wish you were real" (I can dream, can't I?!)
