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)
