B.o.B - American Dreamin' lyrics
[B.o.B - American Dreamin' lyrics]
Well I got up today and I put on my shades
And I said I was fine (I’m fine)
But everyone knew that I was lying
(What you mean?)
If you look at my face (What you looking at?)
And the way that I behave
(I ain't doing nothing strange)
You will still see a disguise (Hm)
Even if you was blind (damn)
But now I'm saying bye, goodbye
American Dreaming american dreaming
It's not that hard to find
Cause most of the time i’m American sleeping
I barely can see it
But now I'm saying bye, goodbye
As I rhyme and I rap
The average listener is blind to the fact
That my mind has been tapped (tapped)
I carry the World as it lies on my back
(back) my spine could've cracked so
Please pay me no mind as I laugh
This is all just a stage
Every line is an act
I'm killing the American dream with a trap
Like an axe, I’ma put it in a sack
Then put it in the back of a black Cadillac
As I’m traveling
Some say that I’m thrown like a javelin
I’m really tryna get you
Exposed to the galaxies
Then break off the mould to normalities
People called the election a tragedy
Looking at the screen like
"This can’t be happening" (NO)
I ain't saying that I’m some kind of activist
But something must be attacking us
But now I'm saying bye, goodbye
American Dreaming american dreaming
It's not that hard to find
Cause most of the time i’m American sleeping
I barely can see it
But now I'm saying bye, goodbye
Okay, bring it back
I was spending my time just posing
(just posing)
Like a mannequin you pass by (pass by)
Tryna make it one day to the big league
Where the girls ain't hard to find
All the time, i was just searchin' for
A plastic promised land
And I got myself entangled
In a corporated plan (sign here)
But a dream is nothin'
And it’s everything at the same time
So you never know when you might wake up
And find you was just living a lie
So goodbye, just like Trey said
Goodbye America, bye
Cause anything but the truth is
A waste of time
But now I'm saying bye, goodbye
American Dreaming american dreaming
It's not that hard to find
Cause most of the time i’m American sleeping
I barely can see it
But now I'm saying bye, goodbye
And I said I was fine (I’m fine)
But everyone knew that I was lying
(What you mean?)
If you look at my face (What you looking at?)
And the way that I behave
(I ain't doing nothing strange)
You will still see a disguise (Hm)
Even if you was blind (damn)
But now I'm saying bye, goodbye
American Dreaming american dreaming
It's not that hard to find
Cause most of the time i’m American sleeping
I barely can see it
But now I'm saying bye, goodbye
As I rhyme and I rap
The average listener is blind to the fact
That my mind has been tapped (tapped)
I carry the World as it lies on my back
(back) my spine could've cracked so
Please pay me no mind as I laugh
This is all just a stage
Every line is an act
I'm killing the American dream with a trap
