American Dream-August Alsina[00:00:00]

Ever since day one[00:00:15]

Somebody probably say you wouldn't be nothin'[00:00:17]

I bet they told you this over[00:00:19]

And over again on repeat like a re-run[00:00:20]

Nobody ever told you you could live up[00:00:23]

To anything you want don't give up[00:00:25]

They rather tell you you're destined for failure[00:00:27]

That's what they tell you[00:00:30]

But you just say[00:00:31]

What about martin[00:00:32]

What about garvey[00:00:33]

What about rosa[00:00:34]

What about malcolm[00:00:35]

What if somebody told 'em they [00:00:36]

would never be nothin'[00:00:37]

And they believed this think about the outcome[00:00:38]

Would we even be the way we are today[00:00:40]

Even if it weren't could have been a harder way[00:00:42]

Even though we lost a lot of people on the way[00:00:44]

Had to sacrifice to get us in a better place[00:00:46]

I hope you listen to these wizzords[00:00:48]

All they want us thinking [00:00:50]

about is sipping on some sizzurp[00:00:52]

And they got us thinking something better [00:00:54]

we don't deserve[00:00:57]

And that we shouldn't try it's no use[00:00:58]

But that couldn't be further from the truth[00:01:00]

Don't believe it that's what they told me too[00:01:03]

When I was growing up they told me[00:01:06]

They told me that I wouldn't make it too far[00:01:09]

And when I got a little older[00:01:13]

They told me they told me yeah[00:01:16]

That I wouldn't be anything[00:01:19]

That's what they told me they told me[00:01:21]

When we were little ones[00:01:24]

That's what they told me they told me[00:01:25]

We're supposed to be kings and queens[00:01:27]

That's what they told me [00:01:29]

they told me they told me[00:01:31]

When we don't believe them[00:01:32]

That's what they told me they told me[00:01:33]

Trying to live the american dream[00:01:35]

They see the ballers and celebrities[00:01:38]

As a reminder of the people they would never be[00:01:39]

Jealousy got them sick without a remedy[00:01:42]

Thinking when I die nobody's gonna remember me[00:01:43]

I was told that nobody care[00:01:45]

So the dreams that I had turned to nightmares[00:01:47]

Cause this thing called life really ain't fair[00:01:49]

Need help but it ain't there[00:01:51]

See you know it's really hard to stay dedicated[00:01:53]

When the bottom screaming they was never educated[00:01:55]

On the come up getting high just to medicate it[00:01:57]

Cause the teachers just told him he [00:01:59]

would never make it[00:02:00]

Now he feeling like he made it [00:02:01]

cause he stuck in paper[00:02:02]

But probably won't let him spend the money later[00:02:03]

Nobody ever told us we could be greater[00:02:05]

To everybody on the ground in the paper chasers[00:02:07]

I hope you listen to these wizzords[00:02:09]

All they want us thinking [00:02:12]

about is sipping on some sizzurp[00:02:14]

And they got us thinking something [00:02:16]

better we don't deserve[00:02:18]

And that we shouldn't try it's no use[00:02:20]

But that couldn't be further from the truth[00:02:22]

Don't believe it that's what they told me too[00:02:24]

When I was growing up they told me[00:02:28]

They told me that I wouldn't make it too far[00:02:30]

And when I got a little older[00:02:34]

They told me they told me yeah[00:02:37]

That I wouldn't be anything[00:02:40]

That's what they told me they told me they told me[00:02:42]

When we were little ones[00:02:45]

That's what they told me they told me[00:02:46]

We're supposed to be kings and queens[00:02:48]

That's what they told me they told me they told me[00:02:50]

When we don't believe them[00:02:53]

That's what they told me they told me[00:02:54]

Trying to live the american dream[00:02:56]

That's what they told me they told me they told me[00:02:59]

They'd rather see me dead never gone make it[00:03:02]

They'd rather see me fail never gonna be anything[00:03:04]

They'd rather see me in jail [00:03:07]

you're never gonna be shit[00:03:09]

Everybody die you ain't shit[00:03:10]

But not everybody lives but not that somehow[00:03:13]

We gotta get out of this[00:03:19]

When did you tell me shit[00:03:21]

You just gotta tell yourself[00:03:22]

That somehow I'mma make it[00:03:25]
