new gen (la) - nacirema dreamzzz lyrics
[verse 1]
last night i had nacirema dream/
when i woke up i seen that i had bought so many things/
i got choked up started balling, cuz i thought that i was ballin/
i thought that i was fly, but it turns out that i was falling/
that was merely an illusion of the fear/
that’s inst-tutionalized to convince consumers we’ll die if we quit consuming/
buy it if we don’t use it or need it/
the youth think greed equals happiness and their capitals steady being depleted/
that’s why the pursuit of it is all they can ever promise/
we’re never supposed to actually have it or ever progress/
digest the food for thought/
said digest that food for thought/
till nada’s left so try your best/
deny your flesh to prove them wrong/
but it’s seemingly impossible/
with the amount of obstacles/
that they place in our way so that they can remain on top/
there’s no competing with the elite you thinking you got a lot/
cuz your car is a hundred grand and your hand’s frozen like a popsicle/
stop it bro it’s so comical when you see the amount of dough/
make off what you cop they rob it straight up out your pocket/
no pot of gold, no rainbow, instead just hunger and pain so/
shedding light on this slavery..why you watching your chain glow?/
[hook]
you gave it up for all your favorite things/
became a slave to the dream/
and just to get the cake and the cream/
became a slave to the dream/
you gave it up for all your favorite things/
became a slave to the dream/
but things ain’t what they seem/
don’t be a slave to the dream/
don’t be a slave to the dream/
[bridge: the lion heart]
they think we don’t know what we’re doing/
they want us under their control/
(dreams)
complain about what needs improvement/
yet we don’t even care to grow/
(don’t be a slave to the dream)
yet how can you expect to make a difference/
when you won’t even change yourself/
(don’t be a slave to the dream)
forget the riches of the system/
your spirit’s what contains the wealth/
[verse 2]
look
money ain’t the root of all evil that’s just the love of it/
because of it husbands and wives decide to break the covenant/
nothing is more elusive, you wish to feel exclusive/
the truth is humans misuse it pursuing foolish illusions to get/
immediate gratification impatient pacing back and forth/
once you got what you asking for ask for more/
got cash? you want cash galore/
thirst is truly unquenchable/
not to mention your inner goal is to be on center folds/
given roles in movies, dipped in clothes and jewelry/
you give your soul up for what?/
all these women, hoes, and groupies/
you need to know and need to see it hollow yeah h-lla empty/
though tempting, it’s iffy if we attain the change too quickly/
then it’s taken for granted/
men mistaken the vanity for sanity/
man it seems the human race is pathetic/
thinking paper is what makes you, you can decide who you are/
but the paper doesn’t change you, it amplifies who you are/
[hook]
you gave it up for all your favorite things/
became a slave to the dream/
and just to get the cake and the cream/
became a slave to the dream/
you gave it up for all your favorite things/
became a slave to the dream/
but things ain’t what they seem/
don’t be a slave to the dream/
don’t be a slave to the dream/
[bridge: the lion heart]
they think we don’t know what we’re doing/
they want us under their control/
(dreams)
complain about what needs improvement/
yet we don’t even care to grow/
(don’t be a slave to the dream)
yet how can you expect to make a difference/
when you won’t even change yourself/
(don’t be a slave to the dream)
forget the riches of the system/
your spirit’s what contains the wealth/
[outro]
so wake up/
so wake up/
don’t be a slave to the dream/
so wake up/
so wake up/
so wake up/
so wake up/
i’m a need for you to wake up/
so wake up/
so wake up/
i’m a need for you to wake up/
steady tryna get your cake up/
they gone hit you with a pay cut wake up/
so wake up/
so wake up/
so wake up
