Derek Minor - Sweet Dreams Lyrics
[Hook:]
I just want to get these dreams out,
So hopefully I'll stop having these nightmares
And if you wanna know what I dream bout'
It's that one day you might care
[Verse 1:]
15 years old
Sitting in my bedroom
Watching my baby sister
And praying Mom's will be home soon
Burning my arms
The pressure hit me like typhoons
Cause' I'm the only black kid in my homeroom
I felt the power of words that day
When I was called coon
When they cut, it scar you
You know the pain when people seem to ignore you
I grab the teacher like "I just want to be heard!"
I went home, and put it all inside a notebook
Poetry is molding me
Look, this how hope look
My father is in Michigan
My step-dad addicted and
My mom's out at working all her fingers to the bone
And I feel like I'm worthless and hurting beneath the surface
It's clear that I am broken Lord,
I need you in my home
And that day
A dream was born
That in 16 bars
You can hear my pain in this song.
[Hook]
[Verse 2:]
I see some doctors and lawyers
With a person to cure cancer
And they don't even know it
It's a voice in they dreams, it drowned out
By the loudmouths
Dreamkillers screaming for God to quiet down
So if they say that you are nothin'
Tell em' thank you
Cause' God created this whole universe, that is proof
Meaning, we're expressions of the greatest artist
Brushstrokes of The King's speech, greatest masterpiece
So why you let em' take your purpose? (Huh?)
(It's the dream that he gave you)
Why you believin' that you worthless? (Huh?)
(There's a reason why he made you)
Fly higher, inspire,
You were wired to be The Lord's greatness
Naysayers are liars
And this what He designed me to do
I'm living my dream
You better live yours too.
[Hook]
[Bridge:]
Now, all my dreamers say...
(OoooooooOOoooo)
Don't let em' ever take your dream away
(Ooooohhhh)
Now, all my dreamers say...
(OoooooooOOoooo)
Don't let em' ever take your dream away
(Ooooohhhh)
They can never take your dream away

Derek Minor Sweet Dreams Comments
Wow I thank God for this music, I remember 7 yrs ago hearing this album is amazing. I have a bad memory idk why I think God deleted my childhood but still I know these songs!!
Love this song
Rap in the streets not in concerts.
This song never get old . 2019 . God gave your a dream. The Devil will never take it away.
OMG! I love this song. I heard it this morning because my dad had a cd in the car and I stayed up till midnight trying to find it. I love what he says in the song.
Well done
i love the album design its almost as good as the music on the album
Sounds good
Being from California where my family struggled through poverty, where people told me I would never amount to anything, this song speaks me very much. Some people NEED to hear that they are worth something. This song can potentially reach those who don't know Christ, and bring them to him. Stop looking for a single answer for everything, you'll never find them. Instead think of the ways God can use this song to inspire non-believers and believers.
Kanye ain't got shit on this holy roller. Kanye is just a false prophet and a puppet to Satan's one world order!
Sounds like Kanye West
i like it
I like. :)
@ Hero, my dream is Ephissans 6:19... However I can be used by the kingdom:) I can only hope that I don't get hung upside down on a cross:$. My dream is to have a purpose besides paying bills, and going to work everyday!!! Lean not on your own understanding and lean on The Lord in ALL things and he will direct my paths:) proverbs 3:55 dreams are relative, what's your plum line.
wooohoo Minorville !!! 116
What dreams? This still confuses me, cause what do these dreams consist of? I hear so many Christians saying this, but I don't see it anywhere in scripture. Of course Christians will quote verses out of context like Jeremiah 29:11, but other than that? There is only ONE WILL, ONE DREAM, AND ONE GOAL. There is more to think about than your own dreams. Hebrews 10:22-31
