Verse 1: This American dream/ American nightmare/ We’re all just visitors/ like we own a timeshare/ We camp in the front yards/ barbeques with lawn chairs/ We don’t do high fashions/ and shop in the Mayfair/ We shop at them swap meets/ and Dollar Generals/ We cut corners/ just to keep our losses minimal/ Used to keep a weed sac/ stashed by my genitals/ Now I gotta prescription/ legal and medical/ Flask of Jack/ in my back/ pocket maybe fireball/ Every morning hung over/ Gatorade and Tylenol/ Chapstick for cottonmouth/ Visine for eyeballs/ Sanitizer for shakin’ hands/ cans of Lysol/ Dudes are straight pussy/ need some Midol/ I always take the first pitch even if it’s a fastball/ The industry loves nobody/ you can be blackballed/ And if my P.O. asks/ tell him I hang drywall/   Chorus (2x) This American Dream/ American nightmare/ No one wanna live broke we wanna be millionares/ This American Dream/ American Classic/ Land of the free / this American magic/ Verse 2:  The American Dream/ American nightmare/ Quit actin’ like you’re lookin’ for me/ I’ve been right here/ Gotta need for speed/ top gun top gear/ Cooler in the back/ lotta dabs n lotta beer/ Me I don’t drink em’/ I prefer something harder/ That burns when it goes down/ I get that from my father/ Designate a driver if you can’t stay sober/ I learned that the hard way when the cops pulled me over/ Nowhere California/ here to Bakersfield/ We drive around buckets/ with cracks in our windshield/ Paint job pealin’/ like it’s fresh out the battlefield/ Feudin’ with our neighbors like McCoys and the Hattfields/ Life really don’t stop/ world don’t stand still/ From a man to a monster/ I’m back to a man still/ I can’t feel my face/ Dude I can’t feel/ I just need to sleep it off/ like it’s no big deal/   Chorus (2x) Verse 3: This American Dream/ this American myth/ Made in the USA on some American shit/ Speakers so loud they make a stadium shift/ ’m just livin’ in this house/ that Shady’s done built/ A white boy rapper/ been spittin’ since the 90’s/ 2 thousand whatever now/ I’m still out here and grindin’/ I don’t feel old/ I just feel aged/ Like whiskey or wine though/ like in a good way/ Grown folk shit/ I’m better and I’m wiser/ I still got love though/ I never lost the fire/ I’m down to my last penny/ I’m down to the wire/ College dropout show me the money like Jerry Macguire/ Skills don’t expire/ we only get better with time/ Mind on the music/ and my music on my mind/ Adjust the bass and treble/ leave the past behind/ I’m a risk taker Daredevil like I’m blind/ Chorus (2x)

Good Time 03:42
(Chorus) A little smile/ a little bit of moonshine/ Little music/ we gon have a good time/ A few laughs/ few beers and good food/ Friday night/ nothing but a good mood/ A little smile/ a little bit of moonshine/ Little music/ we gon have a good time/ A few laughs/ few beers and good food/ Friday night/ nothing but a good mood/   Verse 1: Got home from the game/ we won the homecoming/ We havin’ a bonfire/ no need to go a clubbin’/ Them girlies dressin’ down/ them Betties look stunning/ Billy’s drunk already/ walkin’ ‘round and stumblin’/ Throw some meat on the grill/ throw some wood on that fire/ If you’re hangin’ with us tonight/ you’d best to be a shiner/ But as a reminder/ none of us are here to fight/ Just a/ small town on a Friday night/ If you feelin’ frisky/ ‘go start a mosh pit/ Freestylin’ in the back/ the fields smell like horse shit/ The trailer park’s a rockin’/ the other team forfeit/ We all about peace / leave your conflict/ We all got the muchies/ smokin’ homegrown/ Put away your agendas/ and them cell phones/ We got good music/ got good people/ Got a lot to live for/ and the right to live illegal/ (Chorus)  Verse 2: Jenny’s dressed up in her best pair of sweatpants/ Davey’s drunk/ and tryin’ to do a handstand/ Todd had too many/ he’s runnin’ around in his underpants/ Heather’s yellin’ at the DJ/ to play “Bands A Make Her Dance”/ We got romance/ and mason jars/ Plenty of herb/ the homie just brought a jar/ If u get too drunk/ sleep in your car/ I got two DUI’s/ I guess you live and learn/ We just live and laugh/ as this world turns/ And we all getting’ faded/ watchin’ the fire burn/ We got no clock/ homie leave your watch/ And no one’s messin’ with us/ no not even the cops/ If they come/ we’ll just offer them a drink/ And maybe a smoke too/ well what do y’all think/ What’s the worst they could do/ right back to the drunk tank/ My friends’ll bail me out now/ ain’t that great?/ (Chorus)   Verse 3: It’s a small town/ Friday night/ We’re getting’ lit/ to them bonfire lights/ None of us got diamonds/ but still shine bright/ And I may be hood famous/ but I hate the limelight/ Under them trailer park skies/ trailer park nights/ Johhny’s get drunk/ just lookin’ for a fight/ And I probably shouldn’t/ but I know that I might/ ‘Cause I’m all about that bass I ain’t about that hype/ Poor white trash/ but we ain’t all white/ And I’m thinkin’ that I won’t/ but who knows I might/ All about good vibes/ stoned gettin’ high/ And me a rude boy/ ya I’m a rude guy/ You’re welcome to stay/ I got that “two ply”/ She says that she won’t/ but I know that she might/ Stay over/ and get funky in the trailer/ And finish off the night with another glass of that “Sailor”/ (Chorus)
