American Dreamin' - A Cappella

Uh, uh

This is the shit you dream about with the homies steaming out

Back-to-back, backing them Bimmers out

Seems as our plans to get a grant

Then go off to college, didn't pan or even out

We need it now, we need a town

We need a place to pitch, we need a mound

But for now, I'm just a lazy boy

Day dreaming in my La-Z-Boy

In the clouds of smoke, been playing this Marvin

Mama forgive me, should be thinking about Harvard

But that's too far away, niggas are starving

Ain't nothing wrong with my aim, just gotta change the target

I got dreams of bagging snidd-ow, the size of pillows

I see pies every time my eyes clidd-ose

I see rides, sixes, I got to get those

Life's a bitch, I hope to not make her a widow

American dreamin'

I'm just American dreamin'

American dreamin'

Uh, uh

And I see the light's right there, and it seems right there

But it's not quite near, and it's not like we're

Professionals, moving the decimals

Know where to cop? Nah! Got a connect? No!

Who in the F knows how to be successful

Need a "personal Jesus," I'm in Depeche Mode

They say its celestial, it's all in the stars

Like Tony LaRussa on how you play your Cards

'Cause y'all ain't fucking with me, the ironies are

At all costs better avoid these bars

Now let's start, on your mark

Get set, let's go, get out the car

We're going in circles it's a vicious cycle

This is a crash course, this ain't high school

Wake up Muttley, you're dreaming again

Your own reality show, the season begins

American dreamin'

I'm just American dreamin'

American dreamin'

Step one in this process, scramble up in your projects

And head to the heights where big coke is processed

You gotta convince them that you're not from the precinct

But please speak slow 'cause he no speaky no English

If he takes a liking after a couple of trips

And your money is straight, he's gon' give you consignment

You're now in a game where only time can tell

Survive the droughts, I wish you well, hold up

Survive the droughts? I wish you well?

How sick am I? I wish you health

I wish you wheels, I wish you wealth

I wish you insight so you could see for yourself

You could see the signs when the jackers is scheming

And the cops is coming, you could read they mind

You could see from behind, you could redefine

The game as we know it, one dream at a time

I'm American dreamin'

(I never did, no-no)

American dreamin'

(I never gave up, oh, no)

I'm just American dreamin'

American dreamin'

American dreamin'
