Apollo Piero - American Dreamin'

In the land of the free
Where you could be whatever you wan be
Where ever you came from, whoever you are
Put ya hands up and reach for the stars
But were far from the ideals, I feel
I'ma need to be real, cause life's ill
And the dream is real
But the dream's infected, greed's infested
In materials things, so we fling material
Till every body is fling material
Till life ain't ethereal
Till happiness gets soggy like cereal
But here we go, on the quest for imperial
Material I need to succeed before my burial
But I don't see no picket fence, I see ignorance
I don't see no inner sense, I see indolence
Get rich quick like I'ma get this money
I'ma get this money, baby I'ma get this money
And everything's fun and everything's sunny
Till two teenagers kill a girl for money

The game ain't easy
Trying to be seen in a world we ain't seen in
So everybody's scheming
Greed, lust, envy, we American dreamin'
Cause the game ain't easy
Trying to be seen in a world we ain't seen in
So everybody's scheming
While I'm American dreamin'

And what are we chasing?
In this race where it seems were embracing
Selfishness, morality's vacant
So we don't got to earn, it's all about taking
In the land where the snakes are rewarded
Mistakes are aborted and fate is distorted
And the cake is contorted
Cause hard working people want great but can't afford it
So, who's in the dream?
And who's an insomniac, with no cream?
And what is this cream, what does it mean?
Tell me how do you measure a man off his gleam?
And not his integrity, not his compassion
Not his soul, but what is he flashing
And what are we asking our kids to become
And what have we, what have we, what have we done?
When Paris Hilton's exalted
Virtue assaulted and teaching is halted
And His vision is altered
Please, we need to dream we can all get peace

The game ain't easy
Trying to be seen in a world we ain't seen in
So everybody's scheming
Greed, lust, envy, we American dreamin'
Cause the game ain't easy
Trying to be seen in a world we ain't seen in
So everybody's scheming
While I'm American dreamin'

In the land of the greed
Where the cash counts more than the creed
And your skin counts more than your soul
And the rich are getting richer and the broke stay broke
And the trend in the nation
Is overlook substance in lieu of presentation
I'm thinking hope was slain
Till a man came through and said "America can change"
So I believe what he speaks
See my president's a role model, take heed
As we can change the perception
Of a nation to change the complexion
Of our thoughts to elect a collection
Of individuals to bring us correction
I'm feeling hope let it gleam
And thank you Dr. King cause we living in your dream

The game ain't easy
Trying to be seen in a world we ain't seen in
So everybody's scheming
Greed, lust, envy, we American dreamin'
Cause the game ain't easy
Trying to be seen in a world we ain't seen in
So everybody's scheming
While I'm American dreamin'
