Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I didn't ask dream these moments
But kept hearing so many stories
It's like propaganda, appropriatin'
I wasn't settled where I was living
Mama scored some work in San Fran
I thought that was the family's next plan
The land under my feet, I didn't leave no
[Verse 2]
What am I reachin' for?
It's makin' me strive some more
Just to seek, just to seek
Just to seek and I might find
[Verse 3]
How do I make it in America?
I don't know, what would I do?
How do I make it in America?
I don't know what to tell you
How do I make it in America?
I don't know is that dream true
How do I make it in America, America, America?
[Verse 4]
Home is where the heart is
And this song is like my protest
But for some bloody reason
And bombs have been dropping we selective with our attention
I use to be hyped, hyped, hyped
The great USA was part of my stride
I dreamed of you it felt so right
I wish we weren't so needy of your time
[Verse 5]
What am I reachin' for?
It's makin' me strive some more
Just to seek, just to seek
Just to seek and I might find
[Verse 6]
How do I make it in America?
I don't know, what would I do?
How do I make it in America?
I don't know what to tell you
How do I make it in America?
I don't know is that dream true
How do I make it in America, America, America?
[Verse 7]
How can you keep me alive if you don't wanna?
I don't feel it from ya
I don't hear you say it
You'd rather ignore me
How can you keep me alive if you don't wanna?
I don't feel it from ya
I don't hear you say it
You'd rather ignore me
[Verse 8]
How can you keep repeating what we read in history?
Is it really happenin'?
I don't need it
You don't hear me
Oh what is this obsession I was havin' with you?
Is it necessary?
I don't, I don't, I don't
[Verse 9]
American dream
What's that even mean?
Few and far between really get to see
You tellin' me, tellin' me, tellin' me
You acting like you ain't hurting others
You acting like you ain't hurting others
