I used to wonder why theyd say american dream when i was a jit
Thas cause you gotta be sleepin to believe this shit
Never been the type to be quiet bout how i feel
Cause speaking out's whats really good shit keepin it real
Normally doing that lowers chances of gettin a deal
But it dont matter cause this aint paying for my next meal
First off life aint measured by the type of your shoes
Kids frontin tryna be gangstas but that life aint cool
Faking it braggin to they friends bout how they makin some moves
Knowing damn well they oughta be worried bout passin in school
And the parents just as wrong cause they the ones teaching the game
Men wanna be called daddy but wont live up to the name
Actin like raising they kids aint one of they priorities
Then gettin mad when the media talk down on minorities
Mothers are bad too cept for they dont run
Kids living with relatives so they can go have fun
Then they wonder later in life why the kids wanna run
Cause they tired of the bullshit and want they lives to be done...
