The Dreamer Lyrics

[Verse 2: Anderson .Paak]
One for the occasion, fuck your reservation
Call up all the haters, it's official
Californication, ever since a baby

Radio and the cable, I got the dish, too, and, oh

[Chorus 1: Anderson .Paak & Timan Family Choir]
This one's for all the little dreamers
And the ones who never gave a fuck

I'm a product of the tube and the free lunch
Living room, watching old reruns

And who cares, your daddy couldn't be here?
Mama always kept the cable on

I'm a product of the tube and the free lunch
Living room, watching old reruns


[Interlude: Timan Family Choir]
Don't stop now, keep dreaming
Don't stop now, keep dreaming
Don't stop now, keep dreaming
Don't stop now, keep dreaming
Don't stop now, keep dreaming
Don't stop now, keep dreaming
Don't stop now, keep dreaming
Don't stop now, keep dreaming
Don't stop now, keep dreaming
[Chorus 2: Anderson .Paak & Timan Family Choir]
This one's for all the little dreamers
I'm a product of the tube and the free lunch
And who cares, your daddy couldn't be here?
I'm a product of the tube and the free lunch

[Bridge: Talib Kweli]
This is the music that you gotta feel
Gave you the truth before I got a deal
No rabbit in a hat, it ain't no magic, ain't no Copperfield

More like a panther, Huey Newton, Bobby Seale
Word to the free lunch, who knew what we would become?
Who would be defunct? Which rumours would be debunked?

Yeah, this is the music that you gotta feel
Yeah, gave you the truth before I got a deal
No rabbit in a hat, it ain't no magic, ain't no Copperfield

More like a panther, Huey Newton, Bobby Seale
Word to the free lunch, who knew what we would become?
Who would be defunct? Which rumours would be debunked?

[Verse 3: Talib Kweli]
Used to be scared of all my fears
'Til I woke up from this nightmare
Now what become of a dream deferred, now until I leave this earth
The music make your speakers burst, I always put my people first
It's deep how when I speak, they say I'm preaching like I lead a church
No proper opposition, competition gonna need a nurse
My job as an artist is making miracles
To show you how to struggle poetic and make it lyrical
Crystallize the thought to make it clear to you
And make the revolution irresistable
[Chorus 1: Anderson .Paak]
This one's for all the little dreamers
And the ones who never gave a fuck

I'm a product of the tube and the free lunch
Living room, watching old reruns

And who cares, your daddy couldn't be here?
Mama always kept the cable on

I'm a product of the tube and the free lunch
Living room, watching old reruns


[Interlude: Timan Family Choir]
Don't stop now, keep dreaming
Don't stop now, keep dreaming
Don't stop now, keep dreaming
Don't stop now, keep dreaming
Don't stop now, keep dreaming
Don't stop now, keep dreaming
Don't stop now, keep dreaming
Don't stop now, keep dreaming
Don't stop now, keep dreaming

[Outro]
Oh my gosh, guys, calm down
Stop it

[Skit]
Now, evolution, where's it all going? Is it coming to an end or it it just beginning
There was one fellow who know'd Malibu quite well at a certain time in history
And I doubt if, uh, very few people are able to find these types of conditions again
Due to crowds and controls and much bureaucracy
But there are other areas which are magnificent or treasures of this world
And for somebody with adventure and excitement in their lives, and they have a lot of excitement and adventure
They can find this way of living

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

With the backing of the Timan Family Choir and the legendary Talib Kweli (½ of BlackStar) – .Paak delivers a truthful song about his struggles when he was younger and how he made it as an artist now.

Encouraging the next man with a dream and striving for success. Serves as a great emotional booster to the kids listening and a great way to close off the album.
