[00:00.00] "American Dream"
[00:16.04] Ever since day one
[00:17.05] Somebody probably say you wouldn't be nothin'
[00:19.20] I bet they told you this over and over again on repeat like a re-run
[00:23.11] Nobody ever told you you could live up
[00:25.26] To anything you want, don't give up
[00:27.17] They rather tell you, you're destined for failure
[00:29.48] That's what they tell you
[00:31.23] But you just say
[00:32.33] What about Martin?
[00:33.29] What about Garvey?
[00:34.18] What about Rosa?
[00:35.13] What about Malcolm?
[00:36.08] What if somebody told they they wouldn't be nothin'
[00:38.39] And they believed this, think about the outcome
[00:40.39] Would we even be the way we are today?
[00:41.80] Even if it weren't, could have been a harder way
[00:43.70] Even though we lost a lot of people on the way
[00:45.81] Had to sacrifice to get us in a better place
[00:47.92] I hope you listen to these wizzords
[00:50.87] All they want us thinking about is sipping on some sizzurp
[00:54.78] And they got us thinking something better we don't deserve
[00:58.85] And that we shouldn't try it's no use
[01:00.55] But that couldn't be further from the truth
[01:03.56] Don't believe them that's what they told me too
[01:06.72] When I was growing up (they told me)
[01:09.53] They told me (that I wouldn't make it too far)
[01:13.38] And when I got a little older
[01:15.39] (They told me) they told me, yeah
[01:19.39] (That I wouldn't be anything)
[01:21.65] That's what they told me, they told me, they told me
[01:24.55] But we are leaders
[01:25.61] That's what they told me, they told me, they told me
[01:27.83] We're supposed to be kings and queens
[01:29.43] That's what they told me, they told me, they told me
[01:32.64] When we don't believe them
[01:33.64] That's what they told me, they told me, they told me
[01:35.80] Trying to live the American Dream
[01:37.81] They see the baller's and celebrities
[01:40.11] As a reminder the people they would never be
[01:41.86] Jealousy got them sick without a remedy
[01:43.82] Thinking when I die nobody's gonna remember me
[01:45.83] I was told that nobody care
[01:47.38] So the dreams that I had turned to nightmares
[01:49.38] Cause this thing called life really ain't fair
[01:51.54] Need help but it ain't there
[01:53.04] So you know it's really hard to stay dedicated
[01:55.00] When the baller's screaming they was never educated
[01:57.00] On the corner getting high just to medicate it
[01:59.11] Cause the teachers just told him he would never make it
[02:01.01] Now he feeling like he made it cause he stuck in paper
[02:03.07] But probably won't let him spend the money later
[02:05.22] Nobody ever told us we could be greater
[02:06.97] Everybody on the ground in the paper chasers
[02:09.28] I hope you listen to these wizzords
[02:11.93] All they want us thinking about is sipping on some sizzurp
[02:15.90] And they got us thinking something better we don't deserve
[02:19.96] And that you shouldn't try it's no use
[02:21.80] But that couldn't be further from the truth
[02:24.72] Don't believe them that's what they told me too
[02:27.97] When I was growing up (they told me)
[02:30.37] They told me (that I wouldn't make it too far)
[02:34.63] And when I got a little older
[02:37.39] (They told me) they told me, yeah
[02:40.59] (That I wouldn't be anything)
[02:42.40] That's what they told me, they told me, they told me
[02:44.90] But we are leaders
[02:46.90] That's what they told me, they told me, they told me
[02:48.91] We're supposed to be kings and queens
[02:50.47] That's what they told me, they told me, they told me
[02:52.72] When we don't believe them
[02:55.03] That's what they told me, they told me, they told me
[02:57.30] Trying to live the American Dream
[03:01.78] They'd rather see me dead, never gone make it
[03:04.78] They'd rather see me fail, never gonna be anything
[03:07.59] They'd rather see me in jail, you're never gonna be shit
[03:10.96] Everybody die, (you ain't shit, yo daddy ain't shit)
[03:13.30] But not everybody lives, I told you
[03:20.32] We gotta get out of this
[03:23.32] You just gotta tell yourself
[03:25.83] That somehow I'm a make it
