Chasing Rainbows from The Healing by Mumu Fresh feat. Maimouna Youssef

CHASING RAINBOWS

chorus:
Who says I can not chase rainbows
Who are you to deny me of my dreams
Who says I can not chase rainbows
Maybe there's a pot of gold for me

Verse 1:

You tried to sabotage my vision, Oh
Replace my faith with fear
You told me get a real job
And quit my wishful thinking
Grow up and show responsibility

chorus:
Who says I can not chase rainbows
Who are you to deny me of my dreams
Who says I can not chase rainbows
Maybe there's a pot of gold for me

Verse 2:

I heard the preacher man say money is the root of all evil
Well the world should be pure with all of these poor people
Maybe the rich taught the poor so we’d never be equal
Blue bloods make the easiest free throws
You can crawl like a bug or you can fly like an eagle
It all depends on the lense that you see through
But if god is abundant and i reflect Her wonder
Then i deserve to live a life divine and regal
But i'm fighting with the inner me
Self doubt the only enemy killing me
So i'm clearing up my energy
Inquiry?
How do I embrace the menace in my ministry
My heart and mind my synergy
Keeping close proximity
It's easy to blame another entity instantly
One finger pointed out 4 pointed back at me
Uncertain fate staring me in my face
My dreams increase my faith
My fear be trying to play
I feel the fear, its real, I jump anyway
I feel the fear, its real, I jump anyway
I feel the fear, its real, I jump anyway

chorus:
Who says I can not chase rainbows
Who are you to deny me of my dreams
Who says I can not chase rainbows
Maybe there's a pot of gold for me

Verse 3:
I come from people who keep money in the mattress
Break the law/ claim peoples kids’ on their taxes
Bang on the system that held our people captive
Live for today, tomorrow might be in a casket

They couldn't afford to dream
They couldn't afford to scream
They took life as it came
But where’s the doors to change
I Redefine the schemes to my wealth
But then I asked the same things of myself
Who am I to be beautiful
Who am i to be Strong
Who am i to be Powerful
Who am i to be Flawed
Who am i to have peace
Who am i to be free
I am my ancestors wildest dreams
I'm every color of the rainbow stream

If you're feeling lucky follow me
If you’re feeling lucky follow me
Lets get free

chorus:
Who says I can not chase rainbows
Who are you to deny me of my dreams
Who says I can not chase rainbows
Maybe there's a pot of gold for me
