American Dreamin'

[Intro] Well I got up today and I put on my shades And I said I was fine (I’m fine) But everyone knew that I was lying (What you mean?) If you look at my face (What you looking at?) And the way that I behave (I ain't doing nothing strange) You will still see a disguise (Hm) Even if you was blind (damn) [Hook] But now I'm saying bye, goodbye American Dreaming American dreaming It's not that hard to find Cause most of the time I’m American sleeping I barely can see it But now I'm saying bye, goodbye [Verse 1] As I rhyme and I rap The average listener is blind to the fact That my mind has been tapped (tapped) I carry the World as it lies on my back (back) My spine could've cracked so Please pay me no mind as I laugh This is all just a stage, every line is an act I'm killing the American dream with a trap Like an axe, I’ma put it in a sack Then put it in the back of a black Cadillac As I’m traveling Some say that I’m thrown like a javelin I’m really tryna get you exposed to the galaxies Then break off the mould to normalities People called the election a tragedy Looking at the screen like "This can’t be happening" (NO!) I ain't saying that I’m some kind of activist But something must be attacking us [Hook] [Verse 2] Okay, bring it back I was spending my time just posing (just posing) Like a mannequin you pass by (pass by) Tryna make it one day to the big league Where the girls ain't hard to find All the time, I was just searchin' for a plastic promised land And I got myself entangled in a corporated plan (sign here) But a dream is nothin' And it’s everything at the same time So you never know when you might wake up And find you was just living a lie So goodbye, just like Trey said Goodbye America, bye Cause anything but the truth is a waste of time [Hook]
