The American Dream - Blu & Exile, Blu, Exile

Yeah

Know you know

Uh-huh, uh, check it

This the whole world, they say it’s my world

I want the American Dream, I want a blonde girl

I just want a mansion and a yacht

I wanna make it to the top of the hill and I wanna stay real

All I want is like 88 mill'

That I could flip into at least eight bills, straight skills

Pay bills and taxes, I wanna have mad kids

And I want all my kids to have mad kids

I want the masses to say my album is a classic

And I want all my albums to go Platinum

I wanna stop rapping and start acting, put out movies, uh

And let my kids get into fashion

All I want is the American pie

You know, a big fat slice of that American lie

Same dream they sold that made America fly

Into the sky, to the moon, back to Houston, bullshit

I can’t sleep, my mind’s catching up to me

Dreams keeping me awake (You'll see everything’s in order, know you know)

I can’t sleep, my dream’s catching up to me

Lose sleep, leave me awake (You'll see everything’s in order you know)

I can’t sleep, my mind’s catching up to me (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Dreams keeping me awake (Ooh-ooh, you’ll see everything, I know what you want)

Is everything that you’ve got

'Cause by now, everyone knows I ain’t had a lot

Coming up, it was rough, rusty pans and pots

So as a young man, I demanded it all

It’s a house in a car

Plus another house just so I can house this broad

Plus another car that can go really, really far

And a ticket outer space after they land on Mars

Is the Slauson Mall

You know, a place where all my grandsons can shop and ball

I need a brand new shirt, new watch and shoes

For all my brothers and cousins, uncles and nephews

Is a private island for refuge

And a studio space with like 16 rooms

For all kind of our artists that be recording and rehearsing

And my own record company to put out the recordings

Uh, is a gang of more money

I wanna house the homeless, I wanna feed the hungry

I wanna cure diseases, I wanna stop brutality

I wanna pay for the best education for my family

I can’t sleep, my mind’s catching up to me

Dreams keeping me awake (You'll see everything’s in order, know you know)

I can’t sleep, my dream’s catching up to me

Lose sleep, leave me awake (You'll see everything’s in order you know)

I can’t sleep, my mind’s catching up to me (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Dreams keeping me awake (Ooh-ooh, you’ll see everything’s in order,

know you know)

I can’t sleep, my dream’s catching up to me

Lose sleep, leave me awake (You'll see everything, I know what you want)

Is to live forever

And not just me, but me and my family altogether

Go to church more, pick up the Bible, read a verse more

Live up to my idols, show em I’m worth more for sure

Is more money than Trump

Plus a private jet so I can fly wherever I want

Plus enough money to put all my family members in school

And pay they rent and stay legit 'cause I’m cool

All I want is to make my own rules

That way all the other states can get high too

And tell the immigrants ride through whenever they want

Global citizenship, bitch, fuck Trump

All I want is us to stop eating meat

Vegetation makes you stronger and the cipher complete

All I want is all the best things for all human beings

I just wanna be G-O-D

I see it clearly when I close my eyes

I can’t sleep, my mind’s catching up to me

Dreams keeping me awake (You'll see everything’s in order, know you know)

I can’t sleep, my dream’s catching up to me

Lose sleep, leave me awake (You'll see everything’s in order you know)

I can’t sleep, my mind’s catching up to me (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Dreams keeping me awake (Ooh-ooh, you’ll see everything’s in order,

know you know)

And now, why talk about this?

Is it interesting, is it important?

For the human being to realize that in some sense of the word, whatever it means

He is God or one with God
