I aint black, im mexican but i feel the man. Some Hispanics are treated like crap today.R.I.P i respect the man. The DREAMER died but the DREAM SURVIVES.
Part of why I related so hard to BLM and felt bad for the black community is because of the similar if not identical trials and tribulations both communities face.

It's allways worth to give your life to a cause, even at most uncertain times. But we must follow what is certain in our Heart. I love You Martin Luther King for standing up for your dream and I beleive u r present today to witness what a great acheivment you have made. We live each day closer to your words, RIP.
Even though America was filled with suffering, Martin Luther King had to ask something tremendous of us all. He entrusted us to endure the pains of reason. He asked that we bind ourselves with the shackles of our own will. For the only idea that can expel calamity is one forged from unshaking reason.. and the iron will to do what must be done. Today that very idea stands ready before us all today. In the form of protesting and standing for what's right. Keep the dream alive and do what you know is right. Let us stand hand in hand against the withering injustice of racism so that we may hold back the encroaching darkness. It seems nothing has changed or will change.. people are driven off hate, water is blue and the sun still rises. But though the day is bright, our hearts have grown darker. #BlackLivesMatter

I first saw the movie freedom writers in 2010 when i got sent to a rehab by my parents. I have so many good memories from these times. Now im clean for 2 weeks again after some hard years and remembered this song all of a sudden😩bruh the memoriessssss For me one of the best movies & also moviesongs ❤️
We are learning about him and watching this is school. Faith in humanity? No. People in class don't even pay attention, but I am here because I care and respect Martin Luther King. Even the black kids in my class hardly pay attention to their own past. Is there faith in humanity anymore?
people need to stop comparing who was treated worse in the past. it makes me sad to see that. its supposed to be about people coming together, no matter what race/color they are. i love this song, and the movie freedom writers. it's like my 10th time seeing that movie lol. (:

Looking for this song for 10 years i finally find it 😭😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
(I am happy...I Have a Dream) I got a Dream
(That One Day ) Were gonna work it out out out
(That One Day ) Were gonna work it out out out
(That One Day ) Were gonna work it out
(I Have a Dream) I got a Dream

(That One Day ) Were gonna work it out out out
(That One Day ) Were gonna work it out
(I Have a Dream) I got a Dream
(That One Day) That one day
(That One Day) I'ma look deep within myself
(I Have a Dream) I gotta find a way...
My Dream Is To Be Free
My Dream Is To Be
My Dream Is To Be
My Dream Is To Be Free
[Verse 1]
In search of brighter days, I ride through the maze of the madness,
Struggle is my address, where pain and crack lives,
Gunshots comin' from sounds of Blackness,
Given this game with no time to practice,
Born on the Black list, told I'm below average,
A life with no cabbage,
That's no money if you from where I'm from,
Funny, I just want some of your sun
Dark clouds seem to follow me,
Alcohol that my pops swallowed bottled me,
No apology, I walk with a boulder on my shoulder,
It's a Cold War - I'm a colder soldier,
Hold the same fight that made Martin Luther the King,
I ain't usin' it for the right thing,
In between Lean and the fiens, hustle and the schemes,
I put together pieces of a Dream
I still have one
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
The world's seen me lookin' in the mirror,
Images of me, gettin' much clearer,
Dear Self, I wrote a letter just to better my soul,
If I don't express it then forever I'll hold, inside
I'm from a side where we out of control,
Rap music in the 'hood played a fatherly role,
My story's like yours, yo it gotta be told,
Tryna make it from a gangsta to a godlier role,
Read scrolls and stow slaves,
And Jewish people in cold cage,
Hate has no color or age, flip the page,
Now my rage became freedom,
Writin' dreams in the dark, they far but I can see 'em,
I believe in Heaven more than Hell,
Blessings more than jail,
In the ghetto let love prevail,
With a story to tell, my eyes see the glory and well,
The world waitin' for me to yell "I Have a Dream"
[Chorus]
It's allways worth to give your life to a cause, even at most uncertain times. But we must follow what is certain in our Heart. I love You Martin Luther King for standing up for your dream and I beleive u r present today to witness what a great acheivment you have made. We live each day closer to your words, RIP.
This Tune Makes Me Wanna Shed a Tear :(
Yessss lol i just wiped mine
FemaleMLK it makes me wanna buy a glock and say "f___ it" and kill several whites... But i dont, im stronger that that... Or sm i??? >:D
One of the artists who represented hip hop culture to the fullest. He is one that I can respect and honor his work. Keep it coming Common.
Freedom writers what a movie ….. put this banger on spotify cmnnnn
JESUS HAS SET US FREE. HE IS RISEN
Every mlk day I jam this song . It’s just a must
Common is too dope
I can't believe I always skipped his songs when I was younger but damn he's definitely one of the best
Listening to this gem in 2015
i just found out this song has scenes from FREEDOM WRITERS MY FAVORITE BOOK AND MOVIE
This is actually the first song I've learnt how to rap we performed it on stage years later I'm now writing my own songs
Freedom writer 💪
AS IF THIS SONG IS NEARLY 20 YEARS OLD 😭 that means it’s nearly 20 years since i started high school…. Still a banger though

Gunshots coming from sounds of blackness
Given this game with no time to practice
Born on the black list, told I'm below average
A life with no cabbage
That's no money if you from where I'm from
Funny, I just want some of your sun
Dark clouds seem to follow me

The world see me lookin' in the mirror
Images of me, gettin' much clearer
Dear self, I wrote a letter just to better my soul
If I don't express it, then forever I hold
Inside, I'm from the side where we out of control
Rap music in the hood play the fatherly role
My story like yours, yo it gotta be told
Tryna make it from a gangsta to a godlier role
Where it scrolls and stow slaves, and Jewish people in cold cage
Hate has no color or age
Flip the page, now my race became freedom
Write dreams in the dark, they far but I can see 'em
I believe in heaven more than hell, lessons more than jail
In the ghetto, let love prevail with a story to tell
My eyes see the glory, and well
The world waiting for me to yell "I Have a Dream"
I got a dream
(That one day) We gonna work it out
(That one day) We gonna work it out
(That one day) We gonna work it out
(I have a dream) I got a dream
(That one day) We gonna work it out
(That one day) We gonna work it out

(I have a dream) I got a dream
(That one day) That one day
(That one day) I'm a look deep within myself, I gotta find a way
(I have a dream)
My dream is to be free
My dream is to be
My dream is to be
My dream is to be free
Find a way and keep the dream alive. Our Dream is what mostly matters!
