American Dream 歌詞

American Dream - August Alsina

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 'em they would never 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 it 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 got a little older

They told me they told me yeah

That I wouldn't be anything

That's what they told me they told me

When we were little ones

That's what 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

Trying to live the american dream

They see the ballers and celebrities

As a reminder of 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

Cause this thing called life really ain't fair

Need help but it ain't there

See you know 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

To 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 it 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 got a little older

They told me they told me yeah

That I wouldn't be 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

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

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

They'd rather see me fail never gonna be anything

They'd rather see me in jail you're never gonna be shit

Everybody die you ain't shit

But not everybody lives but not that somehow

 

We gotta get out of this

When did you tell me shit

You just gotta tell yourself

 

 

That somehow I'mma make it
