Look, everybody's stayin' at home, gettin' government checks
Y'all got no independence, and no self-respect
You got played, it's too late, now it's cause and effect
You ain't willin' to change, and that, I'm willin' to bet
Your American dream, and my American dream are different
Sittin' on the stall, hard to think we got the same vision
Mention me with the greatest, 'cause every time I came with it
Came in, until I take over, then I ain't finished
I am everything these corporations hate
I'm an entrepreneur, they can see I'm doin' great
I could make a billion dollars, and they wouldn't get a thing
When they hold no power, and they ain't got no say
It's time to be independent, you talk it, and I live it
If you really was a boss, then you'd start you a business
Now is not the time for you to give in to submission
They've got all the power, it's our time to get it
I think they made it clear, we in a war for our life
If you backed in a corner then they forcin' you to fight
They stole the whole country, like a thief in the night
What in the hell is America, without rights?
It ain't what it is, it'll never be
Only gettin' worse, every damn day, steadily
You heard about the peace and the love, in the 70's
Never seeing with my own eyes is no surprise
The American dream
Slowly been dyin', and becoming merely a dream
Demand to be seen
We march through these streets, we know that you hearin' our screams
American dream
We pay all these taxes, started relaxin', now we all fallen asleep
All of you sheep
Better wake up, or say goodbye to the American dream
Slowly been dyin', and becoming merely a dream
Demand to be seen
We march through these streets, we know that you hearin' our screams
American dream
We pay all these taxes, and started relaxin', and now we all fallen asleep
Are all of us sheep?
We need to wake up, or say goodbye to the American dream
I have this dream I keep havin', but it fades in and out like an addict relapsin'
Sometimes I wonder if it's just my imagin-
-Nation, 'cause the nation, it's 'bout is collapsin'
It's under attack, but it's comin' from within
I'm wonderin', if and when
We'll ever wake up, and shake up this government
'Cause if we don't, then I'm sorry to say it
Land of the free, we can no longer claim it
This ain't entertainment, this my declaration
For my God, my family, and my generation
I ran out of patience, I'm tired of pacin'
Back and forth, ready for war, if it takes it
This more than a statement, I'm willin' to lay my life down
And then plop down my headstone
Engravement should read that he bleeds every lyric he's sayin'
And leadin' by believin' words that he's prayin'
Yeah, I pray for this country
'Cause this ain't the country I's raised in
I was raised in a country where men had backbones, and they raised men
You could call me old-school, but I really don't know where those days went
So Father, please save us, I pray this in Jesus' name, Amen
Amen, don't know what else I can say, man
Dream my whole life to spit flows on the mic, dope enough that I could make house payments
And now that I'm here, let me make myself clear
That anyone who wants to take this, you can take six
That'll put you to sleep, and that's what we call a rude awakening
The American dream
Slowly been dying, and becoming merely a dream
Demand to be seen
We march through these streets, we know that you hearin' our screams
American dream
We pay all these taxes, started relaxin', now we all fallen asleep
All of you sheep
Better wake up, or say goodbye to the American dream
Slowly been dyin', and becomin' merely a dream
Demand to be seen
We march through these streets, we know that you hearin' our screams
American dream
We pay all these taxes, and started relaxin', and now we all fallen asleep
Are all of us sheep?
We need to wake up, or say goodbye to the American dream
