[Intro]
Well I got up today and I put on my shades
And I said I was fine (I’m fine)
But everyone knew that I was lying (What you mean?)
If you look at my face (What you looking at?)
And the way that I behave (I ain't doing nothing strange)
You will still see a disguise (Hm)
Even if you was blind (damn)
[Hook]
But now I'm saying bye, goodbye
American Dreaming
American dreaming
It's not that hard to find
Cause most of the time
I’m American sleeping
I barely can see it
But now I'm saying bye, goodbye
[Verso 1]
As I rhyme and I rap
The average listener is blind to the fact
That my mind has been tapped (tapped)
I carry the World as it lies on my back (back)
My spine could've cracked so
Please pay me no mind as I laugh
This is all just a stage, every line is an act
I'm killing the American dream with a trap
Like an axe, I’ma put it in a sack
Then put it in the back of a black Cadillac
As I’m traveling
Some say that I’m thrown like a javelin
I’m really tryna get you exposed to the galaxies
Then break off the mould to normalities
People called the election a tragedy
Looking at the screen like "This can’t be happening" (NO!)
I ain't saying that I’m some kind of activist
But something must be attacking us
[Hook]
[Verso 2]
Okay, bring it back
I was spending my time just posing (just posing)
Like a mannequin you pass by (pass by)
Tryna make it one day to the big league
Where the girls ain't hard to find
All the time, I was just searchin' for a plastic promised land
And I got myself entangled in a corporated plan (sign here)
But a dream is nothin'
And it’s everything at the same time
So you never know when you might wake up
And find you was just living a lie
So goodbye, just like Trey said
Goodbye America, bye
Cause anything but the truth is a waste of time
