"'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
