    American Dream Lyrics

    Ever since day one
    Somebody probably say you wouldn't be nothin'
    I bet they told you this over and over again on repeat like a re-run
    Nobody ever told you you could live up
    To anything you want, don't give up
    They rather tell you, you're destined for failure
    That's what they tell you
    But you just say
    What about Martin?
    What about Garvey?
    What about Rosa?
    What about Malcolm?
    What if somebody told they they wouldn't be nothin'
    And they believed this, think about the outcome
    Would we even be the way we are today?
    Even if it weren't, could have been a harder way
    Even though we lost a lot of people on the way
    Had to sacrifice to get us in a better place

    I hope you listen to these wizzords
    All they want us thinking about is sipping on some sizzurp
    And they got us thinking something better we don't deserve
    And that we shouldn't try it's no use
    But that couldn't be further from the truth
    Don't believe them that's what they told me too
    When I was growing up (they told me)
    They told me (that I wouldn't make it too far)
    And when I battle it will hold up
    (They told me) they told me, yeah
    (That I wouldn't get anything)

    That's what they told me, they told me, they told me
    When we were little ones
    That's what they told me, they told me, they told me
    We're supposed to be kings and queens
    That's what they told me, they told me, they told me
    When we don't believe them
    That's what they told me, they told me, they told me
    Trying to live the American Dream

    They say the balance is a eleven each
    As a reminder the people they would never be
    Jealousy got them sick without a remedy
    Thinking when I die nobody's gonna remember me
    I was told that nobody care
    So the dreams that I had turned to nightmares
    It's dinged that life really ain't fair
    Need help but it ain't there
    See it's really hard to stay dedicated
    When the bottom screaming they was never educated
    On the come up getting high just to medicate it
    Cause the teachers just told him he would never make it
    Now he feeling like he made it cause he stuck in paper
    But probably won't let him spend the money later
    Nobody ever told us we could be greater
    Everybody on the ground in the paper chasers

    I hope you listen to these wizzords
    All they want us thinking about is sipping on some sizzurp
    And they got us thinking something better we don't deserve
    And that we shouldn't try it's no use
    But that couldn't be further from the truth
    Don't believe them that's what they told me too
    When I was growing up (they told me)
    They told me (that I wouldn't make it too far)
    And when I battle it will hold up
    (They told me) they told me, yeah
    (That I wouldn't get anything)

    That's what they told me, they told me, they told me
    When we were little ones
    That's what they told me, they told me, they told me
    We're supposed to be kings and queens
    That's what they told me, they told me, they told me
    When we don't believe them
    That's what they told me, they told me, they told me
    Trying to live the American Dream

    (That's what they told me, they told me, they told me)
    They'd rather see me dead, never gone make it
    (That's what they told me, they told me, they told me)
    They'd rather see me fail, never gonna be anything
    (That's what they told me, they told me, they told me)
    They'd rather see me in jail, you're never gonna be shit
    (That's what they told me, they told me, they told me)
    Everybody die, you ain't shit
    (That's what they told me, they told me, they told me)
    But not everybody lives, I told you
    (I told you you was gonna make it)
    We gotta get out of this
    When did you tell me shit?
    You just gotta tell yourself
    That somehow I'ma make it
