American Dream
Nelly ft St. Lunatics Lyrics

Yo we be out man, fukin it up for erbody
We are out here causing chaos for everyone

I can't lie man, they thought I was just getting started
People didn't expect me to get this far

Keep the tie man, its the amerrican dream
Success in America is all about fitting into the elite crowd

I'm just participating, my participation is game
I'm not just participating, I'm dominating the game

I'm in this one one for the hotel, motel holidae inn
I'm doing this for the fancy lifestyle of hotels and motels

Super A red and the rits call tins
I'm driving luxury cars like a red Audi and expensive Ritz Carlton cars

All my niggaz who tryin to ball, my niggaz ballin
My friends who aspire to be successful are already successful

All my sodiers and generals errbody faillin
Everyone, including those in power, are failing

Stop stallin, pick up the phone and call in
Stop procrastinating and call in sick to work

Tell your boss you ain't gon make it to work in the mornin'
Inform your boss that you won't be showing up for work in the morning

And why you explainin' go ahead and throw a coffin
While you're apologizing, cover up your mistake by presenting something impressive

And kindly explain that this won't happen often
Apologize and assure that this kind of situation won't repeat itself

But I'm lost and I'm amazed I'm be willing ingaige
I'm willing to participate, though I'm amazed and lost

I'll rage that niggaz think that derrty don't need a cage
I'm angry that people believe that I don't have the talent to succeed

I should be put on display for the display i displayin
The world needs to witness the talent I showcase

Half you niggaz is dyin and all the rest are decaying
Majority of you folks are either dying or wasting away

I'm doin tracks in motels, steady rockin girls bells
I'm making music in cheap motels and impressing young ladies

Kinda like a young elvis, I ain't in nellyville
I'm like a youthful Elvis Presley, I don't belong in Nelly's world

I never squeal, not the type to kiss and tell
I don't gossip or reveal intimate details about others

But if I catch you in the shower I might kiss your tell
If I find you in the shower, I might make a move on you

Now as I blast off, Kweezie writtin movies rollin took that nass off
As I achieve success, Kweezie is writing movies and smoking marijuana

Mostly leader will be a numba runnas, ass off
Usually successful people fall from their high positions due to their arrogance

I had every with deerty even, got a nascar
I've succeeded in everything related to music and even own a NASCAR car

And you know we fucked up at it boss
And you know we're successful at it, boss

Aiyo my radar read, maps in japanese
I'm attuned to success, and even read Japanese maps

Clap at gs smack em back on there E's
I'm taking down my competitors and bringing them down to reality

Drop on wacks, simple facts that rap needs
I'm spitting truth and what the rap industry needs

And its awlays kris I miss and rap trees
I miss when rap was simple and not as complex

And I got my game, I said I got my game
I'm successful and confident in my abilities

From the og's, smokin reefer moonshine
I learned my skills from the original gangsters and their use of drugs

Poppin oldies, but the whole plane change
I'm still making classic music, but the times are changing

Yo you know me, shipped in from cali got it home
You know who I am, I'm originally from California but made it in St. Louis

Cops and goldies, then we smash some ass
We're buying expensive cars and jewelry, and hooking up with girls

Free autotericoop call nasa to do the numbers
We're going as far as calling NASA to calculate our numbers

All the freshman from the vocals started firin? the booth
All the newcomers to the rap game are trying to compete with me

Got more whips and chains, then I'm a start in roots
I have more cars and jewelry than I know what to do with

Ali I'm sick of ballin, unnecessary phone callin
I'm tired of living the baller lifestyle, and making unnecessary phone calls

Man down pimp in distress, I think I'm fallin
I'm falling apart and in distress like a pimp who's cornered

For anything but the okie doke, I'm old school
I'm not falling for anything, I have an old-school mentality

Like her and bonz and nukee ropes I can't stand them groupie folks
I can't stand people who act like groupies

They want me to turn around like this is hokie poke
They want me to change my ways too easily, like it's just a game

They want to break me down like erv before I choke
They want to bring me down like past successful people before they fell

I'm not a jack at all I'm quick draw mcgraw
I'm the opposite of a jack, I'm quick to succeed

And number 20 on the lakers couldn't hold me yahl
Even the 20th best player on the Lakers team couldn't beat me

I'm climbin over yahl I'm still scorin
I'm still achieving success and outdoing my competitors

85 percent of yahl awake but still snoring
Most of my competitors are still asleep and not achieving their potential

Got knowledge yourself and now my style is much older now
I've gained knowledge and experience, which has improved my musical style

We derrty ent we all we got we hold it down
We are the Dirty Entertainment crew, we have each other's back and we will succeed

I'm feelin cooler than cool, my wrist colder wow
I'm feeling great and my diamond-covered watch is impressive

If there's a fashion king then I deserve the crown
If there's a king of fashion, I deserve the title

I'm you city, you dressin up I'm dresisn down
I'm from the streets, so I'm dressing casually while you look fancy

And you keep messin up, me and your girl gon be messin around
If you keep making mistakes, your girlfriend might cheat on you with me
