American Dream
Verse 1 (Lil Dre): So, so, so I turned her TV on first thing I see All the videos on B.E.T. Trying tell me about how I should be, All about getting that money. Like if it aint makin a profit Then we gots to drop it. Cause aint nobody window shopping Now we gots to rock it. Show it all off in the night life Slammin in the clubs tryin to get in the limelight Just give me the girls, cars, boats It's how we define success for right? A guy with trust on the back of the bill, Makin' me wonder how much of it's real, Makin' it rain, filling our brain, flooding our soul with no yields. And it's so real So now that's just a status quo, When it aint even bout my status though When we don't know cause we got a big EGO. So tell me how we servin the cars that we swervin And the mansions on MTV Cribs, I did But I know that now im his So I give all I can give. Like Fidel that's why I live. Awake me from this dream, No Martin Luther King, Remember where your heart at and sang.
Chorus (Denver Duncan): Show me where your heart is. Are you living the American dream? Just sow me where your heart is. Is Christ there to fill in your needs? You can buy cars, you can have kids, To a mansion that's calling me Just show me where your heart is. And I'll show you where your treasure will be. Yeah, yeah, yeah
Verse 2 (Lil Dre): Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Yeah. OK. And even as a child, I wanted simple things. Thought I had simple dreams. 1 wife, 2 kids, 3 cars, 1 crib. Maybe a couple dogs, green grass fenced in, Just give me an Impala I aint gotta have the Benz. Just meet me in the middle, I don't need all the ends. Real love by my kin, I don't need all the friends. I love all my fans, but this wasn't my vision. He show, it most go on, but I needed an intermission. Still fishin' but Christ added ingredients in the kitchen. Gave it a new aroma, intensified my senses. Made me aware of others, keep my mind off myself. Help the needs of my brothers, and put mine on the shelf. Economically and spiritually people are hurting more, Livin' in reality and I ain't talkin' Jersey Shore. It's time for us to wake up, And not to get the cake up, Preparin' every morning, Remembering and now we're makeup
Chorus
Verse 3 (Denver Duncan): I know, you think there some things that just don't apply. Why don't, we to get all before we die? We must become the ones that put the stars in the sky. Give us the strength to fly. I know, you think there some things that just don't apply. Why don't we to get it all before we die? We must, recall the ones that put the stars in the sky. Give us the strength to fly. To fly, to fly.
To a mansion that's more than this.
Are you living the American dream?
