[Lyric] The American Dream (R. City)

[Intro]
Now you can let them dreamkillers
Kill your dreams
Or use your arrogance as a steam to power your dreams
Power your dreams
Use your arrogance as a steam
To power your dreams
Now you can let them dreamkillers
Kill your dreams
Or use your arrogance as a steam to power your dreams
Power your dreams
Power your dreams

[Verse 1: Anything Ill]
Yea nah mean
Yea. Before the age of eleven
He knew he was destined for something great when he was seven
Came from the slums but still ain't nobody could tell him
That he wouldn’t make it cause that wasn’t even a question
Pops worked hard. Mama prayed for them better days
Where life gets sweet as his grandmamas lemonade
So everyday of the week
He’s constantly trying to pave
His road to success cause he knows that he’s on his way
Yeah. Too determined to get it so he ain't settle
Ambitions of a kid tryna make it up out the ghetto
A young martin luther with dreams of being a hero
So everybody above him ain't even up on his level
Most of his homies either dead or they serving time
A few of them made it out
But the rest of them selling dimes
On the corner
Where he knows its just a matter of time
Before that happens to him
So hell die trying
[Chorus: Musiq SoulChild]
When your so far down
You can only go up
Don’t you dare stop now
Don’t you dare give up
When your time to shine comes
You can change your stars
So keep every dream you have
Trust me you can live them all
All I know
Can get this out of my mind
That’s why am always on my grind
Nobody knows when its their time
So I can’t stop
Cause am a dream chaser
Til am dead and gone
Am always gonna hold on
Can’t tell me if am right or wrong
So I won’t stop cause I’m a dreamchaser

[Verse 2: Anything Ill]
A single mother of two
But still a firm believer
In the fact that its never too late to become a dreamer
A little too pretty to be a high school teacher
Play piano plus she can sing her ass off like alicia
All the students encouraging her to take a leap of. Faith
She hesitates cause her daughter and son needs her
Little do she know her kids are her biggest cheerleaders
Same kids who she told anything that you wannabe is possible
So now she considers taking a shot
She hops on a plane to cali auditioning for a spot
To possibly be a backround singer for Jill Scott
Her students already know that she headed straight to the top
She couldn’t stop crying cause what happened was something epic
She ended up landing a record deal over at epic
So
Keep dreaming
That is the only lesson
Just don’t forget it
Yes sir
[Bridge: Musiq Soulchild]
So dream on
Dreamers
Life is what you make it
Dream on
Dreamers
Life is what you make it
All I know
And all I see
Are all my dreams
That’s all I need
Dream on dreamers
Life is what you make it

[Chorus]
When your so far down
You can only go up
Don’t you dare stop now
Don’t you dare give up
When your time to shine comes
You can change your stars
So keep every dream you have
Trust me you can live them all
All I know
Can get this out of my mind
That’s why am always on my grind
Nobody knows when its their time
So I can’t stop
Cause am a dream chaser
Til am dead and gone
Am always gonna hold on
Can’t tell me if am right or wrong
So I won’t stop cause I’m a dreamchaser
Aww yeaaa
I’m a dreamchaser
Aww yeaa yeaa
[Verse 3: Musiq SoulChild]
Look anything you want in this life
You can get it
Whatever you put in your mind so don’t forget it
And all the dreams you had
They will come to past (yea yea)
If you want it all cause
I believe in you
Now all you gotta do
Is believe in yourself
And I promise in no time
You will start to see yourself
Living out your dreams
So don’t give up
Don’t stop now
What you waiting for
Why not now
Don’t let no one
Stop you now
You only live once
The time is now
Daadaa woooohh-oohhh
Yeaaahhhhhh
Daadaa woooohh-oohhh
Yeaaahhhhhh
Wooooohhhhh-ohhhhh
