"The Amerikkkan Dream"


Living in society, full of critics Judgmental? Might be They're saying you got to live this way to be accepted Freedom disappeared Living in hell with some exceptions No time to plan your own dream It's right here All these misconceptions Wanna live your way Emotions built up, but kept in You got to make them proud Step up, and step in Body images, money, education, and marriage your all in To them you'd really win To yourself it's the worst blend Trying to fit in with the world Failing to realize its your dream It's whatever you make it America is a piece of land Society is America's best friend.
