JAY-Z lyrics : "American Dreamin'"

(feat. Marvin Gaye (sample))

Dreamed of you this morning

Then came the dawn, and I thought you were here with me
If you could only see
How much I love you

That's all that's all that's all baby
Oh no, I'll never give up on you
I never felt that before

But there's always...
That's all that's all...


This is the %#@! you dream about with the homie steamin' out
Back-back-backing them Beemer's out
Seems as our plans to get a grant

Then go off to college, didn't pan or even out
We need it now, we need a town
We need a place to pitch, we need a mound

For now, I'm just a lazy boy
Big dreaming in my La-Z-Boy
In the clouds of smoke, been playin' this Marvin

Mama forgive me, should be thinkin' bout Harvard
But that's too far away, ^!$$%s are starving
Ain't nothin' wrong with aim, just gotta change the target

I got dreams of baggin' snidd-ow the size of pillows
I see pies everytime my eyes clidd-ose
I see rides, sixes, I gotta get those

Life's a (*##$, I hope that I make her over, though

Oh no, I'll never give up on you

I never felt that before
It's just american dreamin'
Oh no, I'll never give up on you

I never felt that before
It's just american dreamin'
Oh no, I'll never give up on you

I never felt that before
American dreamin'
But there's always...

That's all that's all...

Now see, the life's right there

And it seems right there
It's not quite near,
And it's not like we're professionals movin' the decimals

Know where to cop? Nah! got a connect? No!
Who under Heaven know how to be successful
Need a Personal Jesus, I'm in Depeche Mode

They say it's celestial, it's all in the stars
Like Tony Caruso, how you played the card
Ya'll ain't $#&@ing with me!

The ironies are, had all coast better before he was bars
Now let's start, on your mark
Get set, let's go-get out the car!

Going in circles, it's a vicious cycle
This is a crash course, this ain't high school
Wake up, Muttley, you're dreamin' again

Your own reality show, the season begins

Oh no, I'll never give up on you

I never felt that before
It's just american dreamin'
Oh no, I'll never give up on you

I never felt that before
It's just american dreamin'
Oh no, I'll never give up on you

I never felt that before
American dreamin'
But there's always...

That's all that's all...

Step One in this process, scramble up in your projects

And head to the heights where big !@%!e is processed
You gotta convince 'em that you not from the Precinct
Please speak slow, cause he no speakey no english

If he takes a liking after a couple of trips
If your money is straight, he's gon' give you consignment
You're now in a game where only time can tell
Survive the droughts, I wish you well...
Survive the droughts? I wish you well?

How sick am I? I wish you HEALTH
I wish you wheels, I wish you wealth
I wish you insight so you could see for yourself
You could see the signs, when the jackets is schemin'
And the cops is comin', you could read they mind

You could see from behind, you could redefine
The game as we know it, one dream at a time
I'm american dreamin'

Oh no, I'll never give up on you

I never felt that before
It's just american dreamin'
Oh no, I'll never give up on you
I never felt that before
It's just american dreamin'

Oh no, I'll never give up on you
I never felt that before
American dreamin'
But there's always...
That's all that's all...
American' Dreamin...
