American Dream. Right?

Big house, picket fence, 2.5 kids.

A 9-5 where you get off by 4 and and the family's having dinner by 6

That's the American dream, a system of set beliefs, a way of living that guarantees a life that's,

Free from financial and social burdens where you can pay your bills without hurting.

You can send your kids to school without praying to God that they come home.

And you can pay off your loans without picking up another loan.

That's the American dream. Right?

Please help me understand because maybe I just don't know about that kind of stuff,

Or maybe I'm just living in a whole different America.

An America where you get shot just by standing on the block so you can get your little brother from the bus stop.

And he watches you lay there with nothing but a hope and a pray and the fear cripples him so he just stands there.

It's not fair! But it's the American dream. Right?

It's a dream come true every time I get called an oreo because my vernacular's proper and I talk like I know what a verb and a noun is, and to class? Yeah I go cause I'll be damned if I walk around sounding like D'jango.

We complain though, about the way they portray us in the movies.

But when I talk about the realities, all y'all do is shoo me.

Stand in line for 5 hours for some million dollar shoes but can't tell me one story that was featured on the news.

And you think Obama cares because of Obama care, voting for him because he's black when the facts aren't there.

But.... That's the American dream right?

Screaming "Free my bro" until they free your bro, he get's out and right back to the block he goes.

Cause he has that victim mindset where we're set up to fail, so instead of letting them make it, he makes earth his own hell.

Then he heads right back to jail, the cycle always redeemed but.... we can't complain cause that's the American dream.
