Keep the dream and give it to the Earth
Keep your dreams alive and give ‘em to the
Money is the goal, better love yourself first
Cause money ain’t shit if you ain’t got the self-worth

If Black masculinity is under attack
I pray yours in more in tact than a diplomat
Dealing with toxicity in your kids’ mom
Constantly claiming everything is your fault
It’s ok to be weak, sometimes
Just remember that your children evolve when you're involved
You don’t always get the credit you deserve
I pray you’re being great, getting better, and unlearn
The negative self talk, I pray you get your turn
I pray you get your time
And you realize money ain’t all that you provide
We’re providers, it’s not just meals and paid bills
We provide life skills
Opportunity to grow, discipline, self-sufficiency
We provide the first model of dignity
Don’t let them tell that lie
The measure of a man is not by a dollar sign

Keep the dream and give it to the Earth
Keep your dreams alive and give ‘em to the
Money is the goal, better love yourself first
Cause money ain’t shit if you ain’t got the self-worth
Keep the dream and give it to the Earth
Keep your dreams alive and give ‘em to the
Money is the goal, better love yourself first
Cause money ain’t shit if you ain’t got the self-worth

I hope that you believe in yourself
I hope the king you see in me, is what you see in yourself
I hope you stop scheming but learn how to dream again
Grew up so fast, forgot how to be a kid
Cause when it comes to dreams
The first thing we think is Martin Luther King
Just to be clear, you ain’t gotta call me king
Call me a pharaoh, it means the same thing
And when you think “pharaoh”, think about she
We’re equal in our power so it means the same thing
And this is just one way that history repeats
Like a metronome
Study the rhythm of my rhyme, it’s inevitable Black people will reawaken
Master the ego to be the greatness
Kill the trauma, bury it in the dirt
But keep the dream alive and give it to the Earth

Keep the dream and give it to the Earth
Keep your dreams alive and give ‘em to the
Money is the goal, better love yourself first
Cause money ain’t shit if you ain’t got the self-worth
Keep the dream and give it to the Earth
Keep your dreams alive and give ‘em to the
Money is the goal, better love yourself first
Cause money ain’t shit if you ain’t got the self-worth
