Imagine you call out of work and a smaller paycheck ain't a reason for stress
And then you out for a week so you call up the doctor to go do some tests
He tells you it ain't nun serious, hands you a bill and says, "Pay at the desk"
You open the envelope up and it's $82, or shit, maybe less
Head to the grocery store to pick up some shit that you like when you sick
Everything cheap as a bitch, pay and walk back to the whip
Open your door and see paint from the car parked next to you, clipped yo shit
Hit up yo Allstate man, says you in good hands, the next day fixed
Yo kids come home from the school that's close to yo crib and clean and safe
They tell you how much they learned, light in they eyes, smile on they face
Then everybody eat at the table and talk and laugh and clean they plates
You take over dishes for wifey, or husband, partner, whatever the case
You hear a knock on the door, you open it, chill, no need for a scene
It's yo neighbor, they brought you a snake plant to keep yo air real clean
You thank 'em and close the door and think "damn good day," now I'm ending the scene
Then you wake up alone in your shitty apartment, you had the American Dream
I don't want to dream about it
I never thought I'd go without it
I don't want to dream about it
I never thought I'd go without it
I don't want to dream about it
I never thought I'd go without it
I don't want to dream about it
I never thought I'd go without it
Woke up with a hunger and passion, got accepted to college and all
Years later got yo education and paper degrees to put on the wall
Got an internship at a Fortune 500 company, now you gon' ball
Update the resume, throw it on LinkedIn, and now you wait for the call
Pop you an Addy 'cause you got the ADHD real bad, that addiction gene
That kicks in when you least expect it, have a Coke Zero just to keep you clean
You all level and waiting, excited to join with a team
You try to excel and put in the time and grind, you know what I mean
You finally hired, the salary decent, entry level, you sign in the offer letter
You give it a year or two, put yo head down, until you offered better
Boss calls you to his office, got HR perched like a bird in the morning
You think, "Damn, I'm getting writ' up, it's that one hour lunch, I hope it's a warning"
"Buddy I got bad news, we got a new venture to try"
"We value your work so much, I mean it, even your creative eye"
As you pack up your desk you thinking, "All ChatGPT do is lie"
Welcome to the new American Dream where you just got replaced by AI
I don't want to dream about it
I never thought I'd go without it
I don't want to dream about it
I never thought I'd go without it
I don't want to dream about it
I never thought I'd go without it
I don't want to dream about it
I never thought I'd go without it
(Without it, without it)
