1
Dreamed of you this morning
2
Then came the dawn, and
3
I thought you were here with me
4
If you could only see
5
How much I love you
6
That's all, that's all baby
7
Oh no oh, I never gave up no way
8
I never felt that before
9
I never felt that before
10
I never felt that before
11
But there's always
12
That's all, that's all
13
This is the shit you dream about with the homies steaming out
14
Back-to-back, backing them Beemers out
15
Seems as our plans to get a grant
16
Then go off to college, didn't pan or even out
17
We need it now, we need a town
18
We need a place to pitch, we need a mound
19
For now, I'm just a lazy boy
20
Big dreaming in my La-Z-Boy
21
In the clouds of smoke, been playing this Marvin
22
Mama forgive me, should be thinking about Harvard
23
But that's too far away, niggas are starving
24
Ain't nothing wrong with my aim, just gotta change the target
25
I got dreams of bagging snidd-ow, the size of pillows
26
I see pies every time my eyes clidd-ose
27
I see rides, sixes, I got to get those
28
Life's a bitch, I hope to not make her a widow
29
I never felt that before
30
(American dreamin')
31
I never felt that before
32
(Just American dreamin')
33
I never felt that before
34
(American dreamin')
35
But there's always
36
That's all, that's all
37
Now see the life's right there, and it seems right there
38
It's not quite near, and it's not like we're
39
Professionals, moving the decimals
40
Know where to cop? Nah! Got a connect? No!
41
Who in the F knows how to be successful
42
Need a "personal Jesus," I'm in Depeche Mode
43
They say its celestial, its all in the stars
44
Like Tony LaRussa on how you play your Cards
45
Cause y'all ain't fucking with me! The ironies are
46
At all costs better avoid these bars
47
Now let's start, on your mark
48
Get set, let's go, get out the car
49
Going in circles it's a vicious cycle
50
This is a crash course, this ain't high school
51
Wake up Muttley, you're dreaming again
52
Your own reality show, the season begins
53
I never felt that before
54
(American dreamin')
55
I never felt that before
56
(Just American dreamin')
57
I never felt that before
58
(American dreamin')
59
But there's always
60
That's all, that's all
61
Step one in this process: scramble up in your projects
62
And head to the heights where big coke is processed
63
You gotta convince them that you're not from the precinct
64
Please speak slow cause he no speaky no English
65
If he takes a liking after a couple of trips
66
And your money is straight, he's going to give you consignment
67
You're now in a game where only time can tell
68
Survive the droughts, I wish you well hold up
69
Survive the droughts? I wish you well?
70
How sick am I? I wish you health
71
I wish you wheels, I wish you wealth
72
I wish you insight so you could see for yourself
73
You could see the signs when the jackers is scheming
74
And the cops is coming, you could read they mind
75
You could see from behind, you could redefine
76
The game as we know it, one dream at a time
77
I'm American dreamin'
