apple1202384019 - the american dream lyrics
[intro]
[verse 1]
the american dream, oh it’s scary it seems
where we’d all like to be is barely agleam
when we all wake up in pain and mental recollection
and felt as though we just regretted all our investments
take a second and think over our actions
and if the path we took is addition or subtraction
to our goal to our destiny, the way we want to feel
or we drove too fast and found we’re left with broken wheels
the squeeze of our stomach and the task of remembering
feels colder than the snowfall in the winter that december brings
if we went to hard then there’s times where we apologize
if we hurt the ones around us while the night’s alive
or if we got ourselves in trouble with authorities
because we forget what aligns our priorities
sometimes we just want too fast
and the next thing you know you’re at the bottom of the gl-ss
[interlude]
[verse 2]
the gl-ss you had started out half-full
but you want it to the top with a couple more pulls
see now you regret that decision
cause the hangover tells you that you night needed revisions
we all strive to feel the best that we can
bring out the best attributes throughout the nights span
but does that mean the we follow a crowd?
take a drink when they do just to amount to the clouds
soon enough we’ll all where the same shoes
drink the same drink and follow the same news
telling us the new trends and what celebs are doing
through the music, through generations man it’s all abusing
i’m a victim myself, and a victim of myself
but i see the light and understand where i’m moving
our faults aren’t on the tele man, it’s found in the mirror
not because you hear it but you opened up your ears
it’s not cool to be puking in a toilet
waking up the next day and claiming you enjoyed it
sh-t, p-ss, s-x, filth with you face in it
adding to the thing that cases what the night was given
but isn’t this what all the other rappers do?
rap about it’s fun while in a garbage basket puke?
you still insist you wanna be up in his shoes
but if you act like him who will act like you?
see what i learned that morning is something so important
just because of what were born in does mean it’s a forewarning
genetics never made a man who he was
it only set him up to change for betterment because
were all different but we’re one in the same
were similar in choice and that’s all that remains
the american dream is not to follow other steps
but to be the one to say where we all go next
