The Hitmen - American Dreamin' lyrics

[Intro - Marvin Gaye sample] Dreamed of you this morning Then came the dawn, and I thought you were here with me If you could only see How much I love you That's all, that's all baby Oh no oh, I never gave up no way I never felt that before I never felt that before I never felt that before But there's always That's all, that's all [Verse 1 - Jay-Z] This is the sh** you dream about with the homies steaming out Back-to-back, backing them Beemers out Seems as our plans to get a grant Then go off to college, didn't pan or even out We need it now, we need a town We need a place to pitch, we need a mound For now, I'm just a lazy boy Big dreaming in my La-Z-Boy In the clouds of smoke, been playing this Marvin Mama forgive me, should be thinking about Harvard But that's too far away, n***as are starving Ain't nothing wrong with my aim, just gotta change the target I got dreams of bagging snidd-ow, the size of pillows I see pies every time my eyes clidd-ose I see rides, sixes, I got to get those Life's a b**h, I hope to not make her a widow [Hook: sample + (Jay-Z)] I never felt that before (American dreamin') I never felt that before (Just American dreamin') I never felt that before (American dreamin') But there's always That's all, that's all [Verse 2 - Jay-Z] Now see the life's right there, and it seems right there It's not quite near, and it's not like we're Professionals, moving the decimals Know where to cop? Nah! Got a connect? No! Who in the F knows how to be successful Need a "personal Jesus," I'm in Depeche Mode They say its celestial, its all in the stars Like Tony LaRussa on how you play your Cards Cause y'all ain't f**ing with me! The ironies are At all costs better avoid these bars Now let's start, on your mark Get set, let's go, get out the car Going in circles it's a vicious cycle This is a crash course, this ain't high school Wake up Muttley, you're dreaming again Your own reality show, the season begins [Hook] [Verse 3 - Jay-Z] Step one in this process: scramble up in your projects And head to the heights where big coke is processed You gotta convince them that you're not from the precinct Please speak slow cause he no speaky no English If he takes a liking after a couple of trips And your money is straight, he's going to give you consignment You're now in a game where only time can tell Survive the droughts, I wish you well - hold up Survive the droughts? I wish you well? How sick am I? I wish you health I wish you wheels, I wish you wealth I wish you insight so you could see for yourself You could see the signs when the jackers is scheming And the cops is coming, you could read they mind You could see from behind, you could redefine The game as we know it, one dream at a time I'm American dreamin'
