Lyrics:
the Great American Dream
Life can be full of false promises so it may seem
Oh The Great American Dream
Will it always elude me can I break the routine or am I
Way back in 1969 I was 10 years old and working on the story of an American boy
Growing up in a small town
The world was filled with people who
not because of that
'Cos we got people like Lebron James
We’ve got J that’s born of the same skin as you & I
Just gotta grab life by its horns & impose
how the world keeps turning
Hot dog, hot damn
I love, this American ride
Gotta love this American ride, oh yeah
of the ozone burnin.
Funny how the world keeps turnin.
Hot dog, Hot damn.
I love this American ride.
Gotta love this American ride.
Oh yeah,
Na na na na na
the
Life and poetry of an American who lived it
And lived to tell about it and
He sure is telling it's
An American dream story and you
May know some of it
Head full of these fetishes
Am I fake Chinese
Don’t know language or heritage
OH state ID
Red and blue white-ish American
Scared to say my piece
Afraid
Oh what's the cost of
American blood
It's coming across the airwaves
It's kicking up a dust
Through the heart of all our children beats
American blood
Doesn’t really matter what you look like
Everybody lives life
Right? Right?
Black Skin, White skin, Coloured skin
Asian, African, American
Doesn’t really
Is speaking of life that passes like dew
Forced me to see you've done better by me
Better by me than I've done by you
Now what's to be found,
American homeboy crowd – Bang it, bang it!
All American homeboy crowd – A-do you know what you are?
All American homeboy crowd – You are what you is…
long it lasted
We were saddened then ecstatic, saying Michael
Then imagine, then
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Miseducated by these terrible lies
Age
here tonight
(Speaking in tongues)
Oh thank you Jesus
My God!
(Speaking in tongues)
Hebrews 15:13 says
For by Jesus
For by this same Jesus
Let us now
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ahem
Huh, ah, ah
Ah, American hypnotize
Been sad since about '09
Was scared of shit in my mind, now I smile
matter what you saw
It is all-new , bright now
Cos the author of my life
Jesus walks with me
Listen, I didn't imagine all this
That I could become new
sad about
Oh oh, You can't get enough
American girl
Do you want those hamburger?
American girl
To drink it all up!
American girl
Your whole life is
just realised that nothing
Is what it seems
What it seems (C'mon)
[Chorus]
[Outro: Missy Elliott]
This is the American Life, FUCK IT
I wonder why big life passes by
How we can get our share
All day long all things go wrong
We just can’t catch what is there
Imagine no more rainy
education
And I’m sure this will end up online
So I don’t want to diss anyone at
The American Academy, I’m sure it’s equal to
The Art Institute of Chicago by
my everyday reality
Right American, Blind American, White America, Rise America
Blind American, remember what you took from me
My Africa, Mama Africa
is new
Ah, Mother American Night, I'm lost from the light
Oh, I'm drowning in you
I left St. Louis, the City of Blues
In the midst of a storm I'd
On the tracks, he said to him
"I'm not a perfect man
I'd never claim to be
This life's so hard living
But loving you is so easy"
American Bollywood
He
or white
If you spot police at night, are you fearing for your life
I wasn't there when this bullshit all started
American history got us blacks, poorly
All of my friends are kings (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
I am not America's nightmare
I am the American dream (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Just let me live my life
