Song Lyrics

You can't let them take your dream away
Can't let them take your dream away
Can't let them take your dream away
You can't let them take your dream away
Can't let them take your dream away
Can't let them take your dream away

American dream
Everybody want the finer things
Nice cars and diamond rings
American dream
Sounds exactly how its seems
That's exactly what it is only a dream
American dream
Everybody want the finer things
Nice cars and diamond rings
American dream
Sounds exactly how its seems
That's exactly what it is only a dream

Back to reality
S**t is not what it seems in actuality
What ever happened to the freedom and equality
I guess we should of read the fine print on the policy
Land of the free
Yeah free to get shot down in the middle of the street
Free to starve in the house with nothing to eat
Its unlimited but they charge for lights, water and heat
Try to play it fair but the government wanna cheat
Democracy the biggest hypocrisy ever existed
Everyone got reparations I guess the n****s missed it
I guess this is the out come of me never enlisting
And I probably will
Cause they go to others land to take for a government bill
Power of the paper money rules
And they say give you liberty but it's set up 2 lose
And they say give you freedom but you gotta pay for school
American dreams but they tell you dreaming is for fools.

But, you can't let them take your dream away
Can't let them take your dream away
Can't let them take your dream away
You can't let them take your dream away
Can't let them take your dream away
Can't let them take your dream away

American dream
Everybody want the finer things
Nice cars and diamond rings
American dream
Sounds exactly how its seems
That's exactly what it is only a dream

They raised taxes after minimum wage
Another way to keep a modern day slave
It's treats to this trade
Give them an eighth day with only minimum pay
Checks so short single parents can making a way
American dreams bring American nightmares
I remember being broke and only having slight gear
I remember owning only one pair of Nike airs
I wore them for the whole year
Wore them til the sole would tear
When I would wonder whats this American dream people speak about
The dream that got these kids killing out here seeking clout
Not knowing it's a better route
Just knowing that they hating what they see and they desperately trying to make it out
Where kids doing drugs and shooting thinking that it's cool
Where cops enforcing rules but ignoring all the rules
Where they open more jails and close more schools
American Dreams where they tell you dreaming is for fools

But, you can't let them take your dream away
Can't let them take your dream away
Can't let them take your dream away
You can't let them take your dream away
Can't let them take your dream away
Can't let them take your dream away

American dream
Everybody want the finer things
Nice cars and diamond rings
American dream
Sounds exactly how its seems
That's exactly what it is only a dream
American dream

you can't let them take your dream away
Can't let them take your dream away
Can't let them take your dream away
You can't let them take your dream away
Can't let them take your dream away
Can't let them take your dream away

American dream
Everybody want the finer things
Nice cars and diamond rings
American dream
Sounds exactly how its seems
That's exactly what it is only a dream
