Amerikkkan Dream Lyrics

Don't waste your time, your time, yeah

They limit visions so we only see hooping and rapping

Wrapped up in different distractions

Past-time passions might get you passed like assists

He gon' flatline if them bullets catch him

Who don't got dreams to acquire green?

Know we fall into routines

Like Malcolm said it's by any means, yeah

He used to wanna be an author, now he selling weed

Amerikkkan Dream, know they tax us for being black, that's backwards

And fuck bout gangs, man, don't let the police come catch you lacking

Don't see myself in the stars so I look to Mom and Dad

In uncharted territory

I went home that summer and right there is when it all clicked for me

Fuck that white man's documents, but ain't too many been here 'fore me

Even if I get 'em, know the ambulance won't be here shortly

They just want us dead, don't give a fuck they shoot like Robert Horry

They don't hear your voice or validate your story

Just another nigga in the dream

Shine differently we beam

God listen when I speak, said

Don't waste your time

Don't waste your time

Don't waste your time

Don't waste your time

Don't waste your time

The Amerikkkan Dream

Everything ain't what it seems to be

Ain't what it seems to be, yeah

Amerikkkan Dream, another victim of the institution

Couple chains around my neck so they just think I'm stupid

Twelve think we trapping and the system trap us

Man, no wonder we can't see escapes besides recruitment

Niggas chasing viral 'til you viral cause the police shoot you

Man, it's been a while since the last time earth ain't felt this brutal

I been on my grind and they been doubting since first two tapes

Pressure from the curse that plague my people adding extra weight

I wake up out my bed and just thank God I got an extra day

Thin out here assembling that old squad from back in seventh grade

Long as we get ours it don't even matter, fuck opinions

You alive and well and happy then you winning ain't second place

Curses that we tryna erase

Demons that we tryna face

Some egos that we still can't dead

A problem for another day, yeah

Just another nigga with a dream

Shine differently I beam

God listen when I speak, said

Don't waste your time

Don't waste your time

Don't waste your time

Don't waste your time

Don't waste your time

The Amerikkan Dream

Everything ain't what it seems to be

Ain't what it seems to be
