Papoose - Intro (The Nacirema Dream) lyrics

[Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.] I still have a dream A dream deeply rooted in the American Dream [President Barack Obama] Now the bedrock of our economic success Is the American Dream It's a dream shared in big cities and small towns Across races, regions and religions That, if you work hard You can support a family [Voice 1] Check out how the American Dream evolved [Voice 2] It's the American Dream, n*gga Well ain't it? [Skit] Papoose: Peace y'all! Crowed: Peace! Papoose: We came here today To talk about the American Dream People from all different corners of this planet Come to this country In search of that American Dream Hard working citizens go to work every day From nine to five, make minimum wage In search of that American Dream Hustlers hustle in the streets every day In search of that American Dream Stick up kids rob armored trucks And run up in banks In search of that American Dream People become incarcerated Never to return, for life In search of that American Dream What you're about to witness Is the story about my journey In search of that American Dream A lot of people think backwards So I call it the Nacirema Dream Angry Voice: Get your hand out my pocket! Get your hand out my pocket, n*gga! Papoose: Get your hand out my pocket!? Crowd: Get ‘im! Get ‘im! Get ‘im! Yea! Grab ‘im! Papoose: Naw, it ain't goin' down like that We about to re-write history You die!
