Joey the Dreamer - After All

Copied!

Feel how you will
Everything I ever obtained I did it with skill
I came into this game with intention to kill
But my lyrics got intention to heal, look

People catch a different type of vibe when you blow up
Switching up they masks in the times of corona
Heart break only just focused me more
So fuck ringing the bell, no I'm breaking the door

Black lives matter, black lives battered
Black lives constantly see black lives shattered
By police, by the streets, by the media, the еvil of the beast
And the streets, that's why black livеs have to

Unify, cause they'll try boxing you in
Throw you in the ring with the wolves on a whim
Drown you in their hate and then tell you to swim
Tell you where you can go and where you fit in

And I never been a popular kid, I always kept it a hundred despite
Whether you liked what I said or not, music my medicine
I father these beats on repeat, you know its a sound renaissance

Black boy, black boy what do you see
I see the whole world staring at me
Tryna tell me what it is I can't be
While I make a whole universe like I'm Stan Lee
Always had a plan A, never plan B
I don't understand, they don't understand me
I'm just trying to do things for my family
Gotta be the man that I know I can be

I am not rich and not famous at all
One day I hope to look back at this song
Show me that I made the right choice in the end
That one day, everything was fine after all

edit bio

Joey the Dreamer is an artist of many influences, but those influences can be summed up with 4 words. Rock, Rap, Anime, and Jazz. Born September 24, 1996; The saxophonist turned songwriter lived out his early childhood in Springfield, IL where the seeds of his musical talents were planted. Following the separation of his parents, he lived out the majority of his adolescent days with his grandparents, mother, 2 younger brothers, and older half sister in the Chicago suburb of Roselle, IL where he picked up the saxophone. Music quickly became his primary outlet to escape from the social turmoil he faced both in the classroom and at home as he came face to face with the tribulations of adjusting to a new environment where the majority of his peers lacked familial, cultural or economic similarities.

Heavily influenced by popular music artists of the early 2000’s in most genres, he gravitated towards songwriters with a message of perseverance, yet articulated pain as a source of inspiration. In 2014 on his birthday, a familial dispute led to him, his mother, and 2 younger brothers to be homeless, seeking the help of strangers to get by, for nearly 1 whole year. It was during this time he came to question his world view and society as a whole.

In time, his situation was remedied, but the lessons of survival remained. Those hardships, failures, and successes yet to come, all have shaped him into the provocative writer, musician, artist, and philosopher that he is today. This is Joey the Dreame
