American Dreamin'

Dreamed of you this morning

Then came the dawn and

I thought you were here with me

If you could only see

How much I love you

That's all, that's all, baby

Oh no, I never gave up, no way (I never felt that before)

Oh no, I never gave up, no way (I never felt that before)

Oh no, I never gave up, no way (I never felt that before)

But there's always, that's all, that's all

This is the shit you dream about with the homies steaming out

Back to back, backing them Beamers out

Seems as our plans to get a grant

Then go off to college didn't pan or even out

We need it now, we need a town

We need a place to pitch, we need a mound

For now, I'm just a lazy boy

Big dreaming in my La-Z-Boy

In the clouds of smoke been playing this Marvin

Mama forgive me, should be thinking about Harvard

But that's too far away, **** are starving

Nothing wrong with my aim, just gotta change the target

I got dreams of bagging snidd-ow, the size of pillows

I see pies every time my eyes clidd-ose

I see rides, sixes, I got to get those

Life's a bitch, I hope to not make her a widow

Oh no, I never gave up, no way (I never felt that before)

American Dreaming

Oh no, I never gave up, no way (I never felt that before)

American Dreaming

Oh no, I never gave up, no way (I never felt that before)

American Dreaming

But there's always, that's all, that's all

Now see the life's right there and it seems right there

It's not quite near and it's not like we're

Professionals moving the decimals

Know where to cop? Nah

Got a connect? No

Who in the F knows how to be successful

Need a Personal Jesus? I'm in Depeche Mode

They say it's celestial, it's all in the stars

Like Tony La Russa on how you play your cards

'Cause y'all ain't fuckin' with me, the ironies are

At all costs, better avoid these bars

Now let's start on your mark

Get set, let's go, get out the car

Going in circles, it's a vicious cycle

This is a crash course, this ain't high school

Wake up Muttley, you're dreaming again

Your own reality show, the season begins

Oh no, I never gave up, no way (I never felt that before)

American Dreaming

Oh no, I never gave up, no way (I never felt that before)

American Dreaming

Oh no, I never gave up, no way (I never felt that before)

American Dreaming

But there's always, that's all, that's all

Step one in this process, scramble up in your projects

And head to the heights where big coke is processed

You gotta convince them that you're not from the precinct

Please speak slow 'cause he no speaky no English

If he takes a liking after a couple of trips

And your money is straight, he's going to give you consignment

You're now in a game where only time can tell

Survive the droughts, I wish you well

Survive the droughts, I wish you well

How sick am I? I wish you health

I wish you wheels, I wish you wealth

I wish you insight so you could see for yourself

You could see the signs when the jackers is scheming

And the cops is coming, you could read they mind

You could see from behind, you could redefine

The game as we know it, one dream at a time

I'm American dreaming

Oh no, I never gave up, no way (I never felt that before)

American Dreaming

Oh no, I never gave up, no way (I never felt that before)

American Dreaming

Oh no, I never gave up, no way (I never felt that before)

American Dreaming

But there's always, that's all, that's all

American Dreaming

But there's always, that's all, that's all

But there's always, that's all, that's all
