"'Cause I've been thinking 'bout the American Dream, the land of the free
The home of the brave, with a mind full of greed
Your average family, we ain't have it all
Remember waitin' by the land-line to make a call
Had to bundle up on blankets when it came to Fall
But never did complain, 'cause we've been through it all
It shows heart
And from a small town, but feeling distant
So close together, tell me how we can be so different?
'Cause when I was a kid was like the last era
That you actually went outside, and didn't bring a camera
'Cause even the best cameras couldn't capture that
The innocence we spend our whole life to get back
'Cause in fact, the ignorance is what set us free
We ain't know no better, or seen the imagery
Our world was our block, and raised mystery
Evolving knowledge, creating history
Go
To live and die the American Dream, and make the rich richer
To live and die the American Dream, and make the rich richer
To live and die is all part of their scheme in ways they'll get ya'
In all the ways that they'll get ya'
It's all to make the rich richer
And now that I've grown, I finally get it
All the work you put in isn't worth the investment
We all got affected, recession, and election
The hurt can't work, and the well stay connected
But listen, keep your head up, the times harder, there's better ways
And when you fed up, but never give up, because there's better days
I wanna' make y'all proud, whoever doubted me
Or look down on you from 30 balconies
I can't figure, in my mind, or what it triggers
That we feel so insecure, but yet our ego's growing bigger
And the rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer
And the middle class balance it, and work hard to support it
Yo
I dream of a time of no stress, and you there for me
But I'll take the risk to be the voice some wouldn't dare to be
Man, all the ups and downs got me driving so hysterically
On the road to slavery for the money, like will you marry me?
To live and die the American Dream, and make the rich richer
To live and die the American Dream, and make the rich richer
To live and die is all part of their scheme in ways they'll get ya'
In all the ways that they'll get ya'
It's all to make the rich richer
Sometimes I keep my head down when I drive past it
I wanna' live in them big cribs, with the high taxes
And financin' seems irrelevant when you could just jack it
In my city, for the heck of it, they still packin'
Gang-bangers, drug-dealers, and mob figures
We got it all, from picket fences, to them corner liquors
Don't get offended, we recording what we see, and living
Unforgiven, if you never took the time to really try, and listen
They wanna' take us away from guns, like they killin' people
And not the man behind the trigger, only seeing evil
It's propaganda, and we'll never be seen as equal
We've been dying since our birth, like every breath is lethal
I'm finna' make you feel the heat, all through the Summer time
I'm working overtime, coping with my running mind
The first thing they'll see in me, is all the dollar signs
And let me know to sign right here on the dotted line
To live and die the American Dream, and make the rich richer
To live and die the American Dream, and make the rich richer
To live and die is all part of their scheme in ways they'll get ya'
In all the ways that they'll get ya'
It's all to make the rich richer
