The American Dream

the American dream.

oh...

...for it

i'll cry - i've cried, i am crying


oh...

...for it

i'll weep - i've wept, i am weeping


oh...

...for it

i'll faint - i've fainted, i am fainting



oh...

...for it

I'll never die - I am not dead, I am not dying

the American dream....has often eluded Nubian kings and queens....yet we continue to fight....just look at the news, that s*** ain't right....because it seems that public offices, courts, prisons and cops....has something against rich color and that really needs to stop....I Love this chante....;)
