Faded Dreams

[Verse 1: L-Soul] Been thinking about you for 18 years I'm a breeze in your life but my name ain't Sameer Land mass barriers separate our areas Weight on your chest but I could still carry ya Watch you from afar till the day I marry ya Showing you a new world call it Aquaria Love is sickness kind of like Malaria Food to ya soul, I could William Perry ya Can't speak your language let me go learn And I'mma love you till my body's in an urn One day left to tell you how I feel Swimming through your daily thoughts that's Bay Area appeal What is love without bringing in some pain What is taking risk without giving up your shame That is what they call a life unlived That's when you got a wife you didn't even pick Choose a life arranged and live it the same As everyone does in my subcontinent Living like we still slaves to the British parliament My own people telling me our love is taboo But then they go and have babies six women through What, so our love ain't true? Forget my heritage, forget my country Cause biracial love is truer than adultery [Hook: L-Soul] Growing up we lose purity Age is not emotional immunity Love will save us from our pain Love is fragile like cells in the brain And I'll keep fighting, till I made it Then we'll bring back, the dreams that have faded Growing up we lose purity Age is not emotional immunity Love will save us from our pain Love is fragile like cells in the brain And I'll keep fighting, till I made it Then we'll bring back, the dreams that have faded [Verse 2: Scoob] Feels like yesterday, clearly I can reminisce A partial time where all intention and energy spent Around that timing I was hardly considered a gent Some people took a look and asked where my class went It's not even a school trip, didn't happen quick How did I change to "Mr. love you" from Best of the Slick? We get together it's official the month of the sixth So damn inseparable our bond had a magnetic stick It was perfect we deserved it looking at our past Some others saw it but to me we were not moving fast The way I felt, I told myself "man it was meant to last" Not did I once believe her age and my fam would clash Grams disapproved, so confused all through the summer She said our love can bring a felony, now that's a bummer But see my heart keeps telling me it's nothing but a number Only a couple years, "who the hell would really wonder?" She keeps on lecturing, it's through one ear and out the other I will not take it so I leave, seeking baby's cover Nana's persistent so she visits her grams and her mother Tells em both that her daughters or grandchild's love em They said they know the scene, she said "but he's eighteen" She says so now it's time for ya'll to do the right thing Fuck a status now the moral is "I used my heart" To make sure not even family could tear us apart
