American Lexicon
I have a dream by any means
I dream by any means
Success the only motive
Even tho it's rarely scene
So struggle becomes an opposition
You Lobby to politicians hate your existence
Who love hidden agendas
On the brink so I'm driven
Like Uber in the city
working day and night
For an apartment just to live in
Luxury on the tag
Conditions similar to prison
Mistreated like it's legal
Got me living like I'm Sméagol
Obsessed with being free
Obsessed with being free
Look mommy see
Ain't no chain on me
Then I open my blinds to see
I'm a citizen
Capitalized though capitalism
Trapped by socialism
So we stand on the corners
In front these monuments
A testament to survival
In America's shadow
When i was child
I respect has a child
Now that i done became a man
Please respect who i am
Fear is stronger than love, remember that. Fear is stronger than love All the love I gave didn't mean nothing when it came to fear
I still have a dream
By any means necessary
A dream deeply rooted in the American dream
Times we were told that we can't
The People who pressed on with that American creed Yes we can
I watch my grandpops spend dollars on the lotto
My uncle drown in bottle after bottle
And I'm somewhere in between spending dollars on a dream
To convince a nation I'm one of the greatest, same scheme
Replays in every backwater even yo, neck of the woods
Got artist trying to make good
My campaign being with well wishes
Cross my path in vain your will end with a few diss
I'm Ignorant don't know the meaning of competition
Trying to defeat myself, so please don't help
My southern roots keep me grounded i'm astounded
How these rappers sounding a mirror image complete repetition
I'm placed in the same boat every quote I wrote
Provides proof that i'm dope
But I'm lost on a sea of sameness
This insaneness I'm given my left ventricle to change this
Posted in the trap, fiends rushing in
Youngins outside, steady arguing
Dekalb pull up, searching everybody
Police at my door, everybody quiet
Don't speak
Don't speak
They don't speak
My lexicon, American lexico
I dream by any means
Success the only motive
Even tho it's rarely scene
So struggle becomes an opposition
You Lobby to politicians hate your existence
Who love hidden agendas
On the brink so I'm driven
Like Uber in the city
working day and night
For an apartment just to live in
Luxury on the tag
Conditions similar to prison
Mistreated like it's legal
Got me living like I'm Sméagol
Obsessed with being free
Obsessed with being free
Look mommy see
Ain't no chain on me
Then I open my blinds to see

Capitalized though capitalism
