Jasmine J Walker - American Dream Lyrics
Official




It's the land of the free, home of the brave
But a lot of us in here are still enslaved
Please take caution on every single thing that you preach
The big elite got us in a tight grip on a leash
It's freedom of speech but you wanna take my page down
Is it cause a sista spit that real shit now
Crazy black woman? Clown how you figure
I went to school, came out and then stacked my figures
I could've been laid up, child support paid up
Grabbing mad choppas to your hood to spray it up
My life ain't never ever been a fairy-tale Jack
I think it's time for me to keep it all the way trill
Sit back relax there's some things I'm gon reveal
I grew up in the quick-hot-sand-mud trenches
Mad rainy days so you know I kept slipping
Ain't no need for me to cry cuz I'll always be contending
This here path of righteousness
It just ain't an easy road
But I'm trying everyday
To do more than the day before
This here path of righteousness
It just ain't and easy road
But I'm striving everyday
To be better than the day before
Just tryna be a woman of my word
Just tryna make sure everything I get I truly deserve
Every L I ever got was a lesson I learned and
Everything God gave me was a blessing I ain't earn
But He still saw fit to tell me I was fit enough to run the race
And even though I ain't in first place He told me I was worthy enough
To master the gift he graciously bestowed upon me for his glory
Stop look at me up-and-down when you don't know my story
I remember when my moms brought my cousins to the house to turn the lights on
And not near one of them ever in their life worked for con Edison
Truth be told she had to open up that oven to keep three little babies warm from the cold
No proper bathing water so she had to boil it on the stove
Shout out to my mama who never had the chance to fold
This here path of righteousness
It just ain't an easy road
But I'm trying everyday
To do more than the day before
This here path of righteousness
It just ain't and easy road
But I'm striving everyday
To be better than the day before
Don't look me in my eyes cuz I stare too intense
I'm one with the earth, yeah I light my incense
I spit a 16 and make it all make sense
I'm highly educated I do well under pressure
Put me in the water watch me triple your investment
This ain't black girl magic this is black girl rage
Can't nobody out there tell me God won't make a way
I vividly remember my LA homeless days
I was sleeping on the floor with like 35 niggas
Praying to the Lord oh God don't let them see my figure
No food in the fridge somehow I still ate
No money in the bank but I got paid
This here path of righteousness
It just ain't an easy road
But I'm trying everyday
To do more than the day before
This here path of righteousness
It just ain't and easy road
But I'm striving everyday
To be better than the day before
