Nelly, St. Lunatics - American Dream lyrics

Yo it be I man, fuckin it up for errbody
I can't lie man
They thought I was just gettin started
Peep the pie man, it's the American dream
I'm just participatin
My participation is game

I'm makin' this one for the hotel, motel
Holiday Inns
Super 8, Red and the Ritz Carlton's
All my niggas that tryin' to ball
My niggas ballin'
All my soldiers and generals, errbody fall in
Stop stallin', pick up the phone and call in
Tell your boss you ain't gon make
It to work in the mornin'
And while you explainin' go head
And throw a cough in
And kindly explain that this
Won't happen often
But I'm long and I'm amazed


I'm be willin' then dazed
I rage that niggas think that
Derrty don't need a cage
I should be put on display
For the display I'm displayin'
Half you niggas is dyin' and
All the rest are decayin'
I'm doin' tracks in hotels
Steady rockin girls bells
Kinda like a young L residin in Nellyville
I never squeal, not the type to kiss and tell
But if I catch ya in the
Shower I might kiss ya tail
Yo it be I man, fuckin it up for errbody
I can't lie man
They thought I was just gettin started
Peep the pie man, it's the American dream
I'm just participatin
My participation is game

Now as I bounced off, Kyweezy writin' movies
Slo done took that mask off
Mo's the leader what do ya know
Murph run his ass off
I got every whip, derrty even got a Nascar
And you know we fucked up at his house
Ayo my rain on weed, naps and Japanese
Clap at g's, smack 'em back on they knees
Drop on wack, simple facts that rap needs
And it's always Christ-a mas and wrap trees
And I got my game
I said I got my game from the OG's
Smokin' reefer, moonshine pumpin' OD's
Bought a old plain chain, yeah you know me
Shipped in from Cali got it home
Cops'll know these yo we smashed the summer
We oughta recoup, call NASA to do the numbers
All the friendship on the vocals
Started fire in the booth
Got more whips and chains
Than amastad and russe

Ali I'm sicka ballin
Unnecessary phone callin' man down
Pimp in distress I think I'm fallin'
For anything but the okey doke
I'm old school like her and
Bones and nooky ropes
I can't stand no groupie folks
They want me to turn around
Like this is hokey poke
They wanna bring me down like
Irv before I choked
I'm not a joke at all, I'm Quick-Draw-McGraw
And number 20 on the Lakers
Couldn't hold me yall
I'm climbin' over yall, I'm still scorin'
85 percenta yall awake but still snorin'
Got knowledge of self and now my
Style is much older now
We Derrty Ent, We all we got we hold it down
I'm feelin' cooler than cool
My wrist cold and wild
If theres a fashion king then
I deserve the crown
I'm U-City, you dressin' up I'm dressin' down
And you keep messin' up
Me and your girl gon be messin' around

Yo it be I man, fuckin it up for errbody
I can't lie man
They thought I was just gettin started
Peep the pie man, it's the American dream
I'm just participatin
My participation is game

Ayo I'm fresh out the gate
From the Lou with a Grammy in my resi'
Nelly bought me a presi' with
A diamond in the besi'
Tics taught me how to walk so
When I run I be ready
Female fans sayin' that I'm they baby daddy
Whoa more attention than Justin and Janet
How I Midwest Swang and how I St louis Ram it
Derrty Ent damnit
Got more bread than a samich
And my wrist got more nuggets
Than Carmelo and Camby
Look, I'm from the Lou and
I'm important like the Arch
So tourists look for me like
An important part shoot find your talent
Use your talent get your money
Or don't find your talent and don't
Use it and stay bummy
But that ain't on me cuz
We built it from scratch
My neck shit is a house
Witha house in the back
Man I been wild since middle school
I was that little dude
That been around more waist
Lines than hula hoops
