[Blu, EXILE, The Last Artful, Dodgr, Miguel - The American Dream lyrics]
I want the American Dream
I want a blonde girl
I just want a mansion and a yacht
I wanna make it to the top of the
Hill and I wanna stay real
All I want is like 88 mill'
That I could flip into at least eight bills
Straight skills
Pay bills and taxes, I wanna have mad kids
And I want all my kids to have mad kids
I want the masses to say
My album is a classic
And I want all my albums to go Platinum
I wanna stop rapping and start
Acting, put out movies, uh
And let my kids get into fashion
All I want is the American pie you know
A big fat slice of that American lie
Same dream they sold that made America fly
Into the sky, to the moon, back to Houston
Bullshit
I can't sleep, my mind's catching up to me
Dreams keeping me awake
(You'll see everything's in order
Know you know)
I can't sleep, my dream's catching up to me
Lose sleep, leave me awake
(You'll see everything's in order you know)
I can't sleep, my mind's catching up to me
(Ooh ooh, ooh ooh) dreams keeping me awake
(Ooh ooh, you'll see everything
I know what you want)
Is everything that you've got 'Cause by now
Everyone knows I ain't had a lot
Coming up, it was rough, rusty pans and pots
So as a young man, I demanded it all
It's a house in a car
Plus another house just so I
Can house this broad
Plus another car that can go really
Really far and a ticket outer space after
They land on Mars is the Slauson Mall
You know, a place where all my grandsons
Can shop and ball
I need a brand new shirt, new watch and shoes
For all my brothers and cousins
Uncles and nephews
Is a private island for refuge
And a studio space with like 16 rooms
For all kind of our artists
That be recording and rehearsing
And my own record company to
Put out the recordings
Uh, is a gang of more money
I wanna house the homeless
I wanna feed the hungry
I wanna cure diseases, I wanna stop brutality
I wanna pay for the best
Education for my family
I can't sleep, my mind's catching up to me
Dreams keeping me awake
(You'll see everything's in order
Know you know)
I can't sleep, my dream's catching up to me
Lose sleep, leave me awake
(You'll see everything's in order you know)
I can't sleep, my mind's catching up to me
(Ooh ooh, ooh ooh) dreams keeping me awake
(Ooh ooh, you'll see everything's in order
Know you know)
I can't sleep, my dream's catching up to me
Lose sleep, leave me awake
(You'll see everything, I know what you want)
Is to live forever and not just me
But me and my family altogether
Go to church more, pick up the Bible
Read a verse more live up to my idols
Show em I'm worth more for sure
Is more money than Trump
Plus a private jet so I
Can fly wherever I want
Plus enough money to put all
My family members in school
And pay they rent and stay
Legit 'cause I'm cool
All I want is to make my own rules
That way all the other states
Can get high too
And tell the immigrants ride
Through whenever they want
Global citizenship, bitch, fuck Trump
All I want is us to stop eating meat
Vegetation makes you stronger and
The cipher complete
All I want is all the best
Things for all human beings
I just wanna be G-O-D
I see it clearly when I close my eyes
I can't sleep, my mind's catching up to me
Dreams keeping me awake
(You'll see everything's in order
Know you know)
I can't sleep, my dream's catching up to me
Lose sleep, leave me awake
(You'll see everything's in order you know)
I can't sleep, my mind's catching up to me
(Ooh ooh, ooh ooh) dreams keeping me awake
(Ooh ooh, you'll see everything's in order
Know you know)
And now, why talk about this?
Is it interesting, is it important?
For the human being to realize that
In some sense of the word, whatever it means
He is God or one with God
