1
Dreamed of you this mornin'
2
Then came the dawn and I thought you were here with me
3
If you could only see how much I love you
4
That's all, that's all, baby
5
Oh no, I'll never give up on you
6
(I never felt that before)
7
Oh no, I'll never give up on you
8
(I never felt that before)
9
Oh no, I'll never give up on you
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 homie steamin' out
14
Back-back-backin' them Beemer's 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 dreamin' in my La-Z-Boy
21
In the clouds of smoke, been playin' this Marvin
22
Mama forgive me, should be thinkin' 'bout Harvard
23
But that's too far away, niggas are starvin'
24
Ain't nothin' wrong with aim, just gotta change the target
25
I got dreams of baggin' snidd-ow the size of pillows
26
I see pies every time my eyes clidd-ose
27
I see rides, sixes, I gotta get those
28
Life's a bitch, I hope that I make her over, though
29
Oh no, I'll never give up on you
30
(I never felt that before)
31
American dreamin'
32
Oh no, I'll never give up on you
33
(I never felt that before)
34
It's just American dreamin'
35
Oh no, I'll never give up on you
36
(I never felt that before)
37
American dreamin'
38
But there's always
39
(That's all, that's all)
40
Now see, the life's right there
41
And it seems right there, it's not quite near
42
And it's not like we're professionals movin' the decimals
43
Know where to cop? Nah, got a connect? No
44
Who under heaven knows how to be successful
45
Need a Personal Jesus, I'm in Depeche Mode
46
They say it's celestial, it's all in the stars
47
Like Tony Caruso, how you played the card
48
Y'all ain't fuckin' with me
49
The ironies are, had all coast better before he was bars
50
Now let's start, on your mark
51
Get set, let's go, get out the car
52
Goin' in circles, it's a vicious cycle
53
This is a crash course, this ain't high school
54
Wake up, Muttley, you're dreamin' again
55
Your own reality show, the season begins
56
Oh no, I'll never give up on you
57
(I never felt that before)
58
American dreamin'
59
Oh no, I'll never give up on you
60
(I never felt that before)
61
It's just American dreamin'
62
Oh no, I'll never give up on you
63
(I never felt that before)
64
American dreamin'
65
But there's always
66
(That's all, that's all)
67
Step one in this process, scramble up in your projects
68
And head to the heights where big coke is processed
69
You gotta convince 'em that you not from the Precinct
70
Please speak slow, 'cause he no speakey no English
71
If he takes a likin' after a couple of trips
72
If your money is straight, he's gon' give you consignment
73
You're now in a game where only time can tell
74
Survive the droughts, I wish you well
75
Survive the droughts, I wish you well
76
How sick am I? I wish you health
77
I wish you wheels, I wish you wealth
78
I wish you insight so you could see for yourself
79
You could see the signs, when the jackets is schemin'
80
And the cops is comin', you could read their mind
81
You could see from behind, you could redefine
82
The game as we know it, one dream at a time, I'm American dreamin'
83
Oh no, I'll never give up on you
84
(I never felt that before)
85
American dreamin'
86
Oh no, I'll never give up on you
87
(I never felt that before)
88
American dreamin'
89
Oh no, I'll never give up on you
90
(I never felt that before)
91
American dreamin'
92
But there's always
93
(That's all, that's all)
94
American dreamin'
95
Oh baby
96
But there's always
97
(That's all, that's all)
98
But there's always
99
(That's all, that's all)
