JAY-Z - American Dreamin'(2007)

[00:00.56] Dreamed of you this mornin'
[00:03.37] Then came the dawn and I thought you were here with me
[00:08.96] If you could only see how much I love you
[00:18.53] That's all, that's all, baby
[00:20.51] Oh no, I'll never give up on you
[00:24.75] (I never felt that before)
[00:26.64] Oh no, I'll never give up on you
[00:30.18] (I never felt that before)
[00:31.45] Oh no, I'll never give up on you
[00:35.19] (I never felt that before)
[00:36.22] But there's always
[00:38.18] (That's all that's all)
[00:39.83] This is the shit you dream about with the homie steamin' out
[00:43.38] Back-back-backin' them Beemer's out
[00:45.95] Seems as our plans to get a grant
[00:48.33] Then go off to college, didn't pan or even out
[00:50.97] We need it now, we need a town
[00:53.67] We need a place to pitch, we need a mound
[00:56.35] For now, I'm just a lazy boy
[00:58.56] Big dreamin' in my La-Z-Boy
[01:00.36] In the clouds of smoke, been playin' this Marvin
[01:03.15] Mama forgive me, should be thinkin' 'bout Harvard
[01:05.76] But that's too far away, niggas are starvin'
[01:08.32] Ain't nothin' wrong with aim, just gotta change the target
[01:10.89] I got dreams of baggin' snidd-ow the size of pillows
[01:13.84] I see pies every time my eyes clidd-ose
[01:17.15] I see rides, sixes, I gotta get those
[01:19.64] Life's a bitch, I hope that I make her over, though
[01:21.88] Oh no, I'll never give up on you
[01:24.73] (I never felt that before)
[01:26.82] American dreamin'
[01:28.54] Oh no, I'll never give up on you
[01:30.00] (I never felt that before)
[01:31.18] It's just American dreamin'
[01:33.27] Oh no, I'll never give up on you
[01:34.22] (I never felt that before)
[01:35.13] American dreamin'
[01:38.02] But there's always
[01:39.61] (That's all, that's all)
[01:41.79] Now see, the life's right there
[01:43.61] And it seems right there, it's not quite near
[01:45.83] And it's not like we're professionals movin' the decimals
[01:49.37] Know where to cop? Nah, got a connect? No
[01:52.05] Who under heaven knows how to be successful
[01:54.52] Need a Personal Jesus, I'm in Depeche Mode
[01:57.22] They say it's celestial, it's all in the stars
[01:59.58] Like Tony Caruso, how you played the card
[02:02.09] Y'all ain't fuckin' with me
[02:03.90] The ironies are, had all coast better before he was bars
[02:07.03] Now let's start, on your mark
[02:10.16] Get set, let's go, get out the car
[02:12.56] Goin' in circles, it's a vicious cycle
[02:15.09] This is a crash course, this ain't high school
[02:17.52] Wake up, Muttley, you're dreamin' again
[02:20.18] Your own reality show, the season begins
[02:21.78] Oh no, I'll never give up on you
[02:23.56] (I never felt that before)
[02:28.33] American dreamin'
[02:29.53] Oh no, I'll never give up on you
[02:30.64] (I never felt that before)
[02:33.37] It's just American dreamin'
[02:34.65] Oh no, I'll never give up on you
[02:35.69] (I never felt that before)
[02:38.18] American dreamin'
[02:39.63] But there's always
[02:41.66] (That's all, that's all)
[02:43.40] Step one in this process, scramble up in your projects
[02:46.17] And head to the heights where big coke is processed
[02:48.78] You gotta convince 'em that you not from the Precinct
[02:51.31] Please speak slow, 'cause he no speakey no English
[02:53.77] If he takes a likin' after a couple of trips
[02:56.30] If your money is straight, he's gon' give you consignment
[02:58.95] You're now in a game where only time can tell
[03:01.54] Survive the droughts, I wish you well
[03:03.85] Survive the droughts, I wish you well
[03:06.47] How sick am I? I wish you health
[03:09.07] I wish you wheels, I wish you wealth
[03:11.64] I wish you insight so you could see for yourself
[03:14.27] You could see the signs, when the jackets is schemin'
[03:16.87] And the cops is comin', you could read their mind
[03:19.48] You could see from behind, you could redefine
[03:21.73] The game as we know it, one dream at a time, I'm American dreamin'
[03:24.63] Oh no, I'll never give up on you
[03:29.98] (I never felt that before)
[03:30.96] American dreamin'
[03:32.22] Oh no, I'll never give up on you
[03:33.07] (I never felt that before)
[03:34.92] American dreamin'
[03:36.36] Oh no, I'll never give up on you
[03:37.40] (I never felt that before)
[03:39.17] American dreamin'
[03:41.43] But there's always
[03:42.86] (That's all, that's all)
[03:44.66] American dreamin'
[03:46.41] Oh baby
[03:52.19] But there's always
[04:03.33] (That's all, that's all)
[04:05.52] But there's always
[04:06.37] (That's all, that's all)
[04:40.12]
