Young Jeezy - American Dream Lyrics






(Cryin', cryin', cryin')
Yeah, what's up? (Yeah, what's up?)
Welcome to America baby (uh)
Home of the brave, American Dream (yeah)
Uh, yeah
Let's go

[Jeezy:]
I just want a big ol' bag of money when I see my jeweler
Get a hard-on when I'm counting up that mula
Scarface, into living life like a king
Every day eating good with my team (the American Dream)
First they said I wouldn't, but I knew that I would make it
Copped my first pie, yeah, I knew that I could bake it
Scarface vision, living life like a king
Every day grinding hard with my team (the American Dream)

You either good or you great
You either real or you fake
That's why I stay spitting the real
Because the real ones relate
Y'all must was raised by some haters
You niggas go 'head and hate
F-F-Four car garage for the 'Rari, that bitch came with the estate
I swear them streets get so tricky, glad I ain't fall for the bait
So focused and I'm determined, can see that shit in my face
You niggas go 'head and face it
Lil bitch, ain't shit 'bout me basic
Hit a lick on them bitches and win an iced out bracelet
Never let my flaws and my past come get the best of me
Turn a two fifty to a half, I got the recipe
First my President was Black, now my President is wack
I ain't never going broke, what's American in that?

I just want a big ol' bag of money when I see my jeweler
Get a hard-on when I'm counting up that mula
Scarface, into living life like a king
Every day eating good with my team (the American Dream)
First they said I wouldn't, but I knew that I would make it
Copped my first pie, yeah, I knew that I could bake it
Scarface vision, living life like a king
Every day grinding hard with my team (the American Dream)

[J. Cole:]
Got money to make, blow out the candles then cut up the cake
Then I put it on plate, I'm running the game, you running in place
Still a youngin' at heart, but mentally, bitch I'm a hundred-and-eight
Like Pun in the late 90s, my niggas is juggling weight
Running from state to state, gunning up ways to safety
I'm on a paper chase, whatever it takes to make me
A millionaire, silly cause how many really get there?
I mean, how many niggas is Jeezy?
Y'all make this shit sound so easy
Breezy, turn on the TV, see these niggas that trap on the CD
Meanwhile, back home, my niggas sell crack at the BP
Hoping one day they can be the
Niggas is there on the screen
'Cause that's the American Dream
Now here go the thing, listen
Hysterical screams, coming from mothers that buried their kings
Or the unbearable pain of watching them walk out with the sheriff in chains
Becoming a number, they no longer care bout the name
White folks been getting rich off of cocaine
Through some underhanded methods, I don't got time to explain
Out of fear that I won't reach 'em and since preaching ain't my thing
I just drop a gem or two within a few verses I sing
For all my real niggas trapped inside the game
You know that already

[Jeezy:]
I just want a big ol' bag of money when I see my jeweler
Get a hard-on when I'm counting up that mula
Scarface, into living life like a king
Every day eating good with my team (the American Dream)
First they said I wouldn't, but I knew that I would make it
Copped my first pie, yeah, I knew that I could bake it
Scarface vision, living life like a king
Every day grinding hard with my team (the American Dream)

[Kendrick Lamar:]
(Yeah yuh)
These streets made for ballin' (yeah yuh)
Ten toes ain't for fallin' (yeah yuh)
I hear the world callin'
Tell me if ya all in (tell me if ya all in)
Look, look, I gotta eat, I gotta, make money with
I gotta feast, I gotta re-ly on what is known to the travelin' man
Set his own, got my Bible and my rifle in my hand, oh yeah
I gotta eat, I gotta, make money with
I gotta feast, I gotta re-ly on what is known to the travelin' man
Set his own, got my Bible and my rifle in my hand, oh yeah

    Nice Track! People should really listen to J Cole verse. He really dropped a jewel. He basically told us how secret society (New World Order) started. He was referring to the method that was started in 1980s at concentration camps in South America. It rocked every hoods in American and how they got rich off of it (Private prisons).

  32. P.... T....

    👑👑👑

  33. G.... ....

    For those saying cole washed kendrick watch your mouth. Kendrick was clearly the vibe of the song. Rappers don’t always have to go super hard.

    G.... ....

    That doesn't negate Cole>Kendrick

    Stop making lame excuses

  34. p.... m....

    I’m starting to doubt we’ll see these two rap off against each other in a song. Kendrick should have given us bars, no excuses.

  35. B.... R....

    "Like Pun in the late 90s my niggas is juggling weight" 🥶😨😭🔥

  36. Z.... ....

    Cops a verse from the greatest rapper alive and expects some lyrical gymnastics

    Instead he start singing on this shit lmao shit hard af tho 🔥🔥

  37. Z.... ....

    Maaan I was looking for this track for hella long lmao

  38. E.... B....

    Fucking 🔥🔥🔥 track!

  39. M.... ....

    Should have left Kendrick off

  40. S.... O....

    i wish for kendrick to rap on the same song with cole

  41. f.... b....

    2 king's will always move mountains

  42. J.... D....

    White folks been getting rich off cocaine, thru some underhanded methods I don't got time to explain🎶 (J.cole) 💯

  43. S.... o....

    Kendrick Lamar he's better than J. Cole, but Cole make a better verse in this. But Kendrick still my favorite part.

  44. F.... M....

    We keep it #filthy 😜
    #FME #Filthgang 🤘🤘

  48. E.... R....

    Kendrick killed it 3:08

  49. A.... A....

    Jcoles voice sticks out to his fans and kendricks voice sticks out to his fans and somewhere in the middle ppl are trying to compare the two to make sense of things because they can not understand that the two can co exist....weak minded ppl so negative

    A.... A....

    Alex Aguilar they act like two legends can not co exist

  50. C.... A....

  58. p.... r....

  59. E.... D....

    Y'all can choose who won. I think all three of them did. This was a perfect trio.

  60. M.... S....

    Jeezy beasted on this track

  61. L.... H....

    jcole is God

  62. A.... C....

    Kendrick should have layed 16 bars on this one smh

  63. M.... M....

    Jeezy should have went all out for this, sent this to radio and a single treatment.

  64. S.... G....

    I love Kendrick’s melodic outro/bridge.

  65. j.... ....

  74. G.... o....

    For God's sake, can Kendrick just for one time do a normal rapped feature, without randomly repeating thing in a artistic way or talk with corny voices?

  75. I.... I....

    Kendrick Lamar transcends rap

  76. E.... V....

  93. C.... D....

    🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

  94. M.... T....

    Intro-JEZZY ......Slaughter house Middle- J.cole.....Calm Outro- KDot 👏👏👏 they didn't plan this out to see who's better. It's just how the song is set up Cole=Kendrick no debate. They are both equals. Just not in this song. All flows was ment for this specific song. Not to see who's better. Put your favorite Cole and Kendrick song side by side. They are both equally great.

  95. d.... ....

    Fuck sell out black masons and dumb ass black Greeks. Come back home embrace our own culture not late as Europeans. Kemet stand up.

  96. T.... R....

    Yow!! 😎 They dropped so many Unspoken Gems 💎

  97. A.... D....

    Kendrick fans never cease to amaze me. Kendrick didn't even deliver a fucking verse. Even Jeezy actually spit a decent verse.

    Here comes Kendrick with some nonsensical jibberish, and here comes kendrick fans acting as though it's the Holy Grail. Literally SMH

  98. E.... B....

    J Cole dropped the hardest verse of 2017
