The Story of America’s Dreamers Lyrics by Kourtlen Allen

Scarlet Macaw

2022

[Intro]
American Dream can't change us
American Dream can't change us
[Verse 1]
Live life don't you let them slow you down
So many conversations about class they need a cap and gown
Young girl named Mercedes
Trying to go get a Mercedes
That's just how they raised me
American Dream never Change me
American Dream can't ever change me
I understand it's different for me, that's just simply how they raised Me
I'm trying to heal the streets like these doctors that's out in Grady, More like Emory
I just pray that nobody come degrade me
Don't grade me
Materialism can't ever phase me yea
Real ones never switch up
They just change up and the love
Real one ones never switch up
They just change up an they love
American Dream can't change us, its just real steps from above American Dream can't change us, its just real love from above
[Bridge]
No one invisible yea we see you
We just some American Dreamers (yea)
We walking our way to the freedom (yea)
The way we were raised we are believers (yea)
'Cause I'm an American Dreamer
You're American Dreamer
We're an American Dreamer
[Verse 2]
I'm from America we make a whole meal from potatoes
With the right to bear arms you protect your family with Dracos
And you mix the juice with the drink, and that simply how your day Goes
And you trying to build up for your family
Like a pile of legos
And you probably go an spend it on your friends
Or better yet you go an spend it on a trip out to Cabo
Everybody play monopoly they trying to make the pot grow
But they have enough stories to fill a pot hole
I pray they really free some brothers like me
I pray he get a second chance on his dream
Don't ever ever trade it for the American Dream
At the beginning all we had was belief
We were raised cut the water off don't run up my sink
Maybe that statement has a further meaning
Wait maybe that statement not a figure of speech
'Cause we were taught you either float or you sink
And they were taught to grab and go drink
So many distractions I guess their trying to see how we think American dream like a present under the Christmas tree
Just another kid with a different story
And a different perspective on the American Dream
Trying to do it different help these kids go get a better life
So daydreamers can have some peace and go and dream at night
And everybody think that all these things are wrongs and right
I'm just trying to help these people simply go and build a light
[Chorus]
American Dream (Aye)
Everybody looking at your face
Everybody think that its race
But its a marathon just go do your pace
American Dream (Aye)
Everybody looking at your face
Everybody think that its race
But its a marathon just go do your pace
[Outro]
It's okay to walk in the growth
It's okay to walk in the growth
It's okay to walk in the growth
Its okay we all gotta grow
Its okay we're all gonna grow
