Story behind the song
english project and wanted to write about how i felt about dreams...
Lyrics
(Chorus 2X)
American dream, yo that what we afta
American Dream, its hard but we hafta
American dream, we try and fail but
Keep you head up (yea) Keep your hopes up (yo)
Verse 1:
As I sit, and think back, to my earlier days
The dreams and hopes I had, da wishes, floating away
Ive taken shots, soju, (Yea)I felt the pain
Tryin to reach my dreams, cant resist the da money and fame
And times get hard, playas, get played themselves, get scarred
Seen many brother fall, under the weight of troubles large
¸Ó¸®°¡ ºùºù, ¼Ò¸®°¡ ÂôÂô, ½Ã°£ÀÌ È帣´Â´ë ¿Ö È÷¸ÁÀÌ »ç¶óÁöÁö?
I try and reach for my goals, and I fall once again
Im on my way up the stairs, but trip, im in pain
Why is it like that? My goals seem trapped, barricade
Wheres all the love?, why wont my pain go away
It¡¯s as if my goals don¡¯t matter, America doesn¡¯t even care
It left me out in the cold, my clothes in wear and tear
theres seems to be no solutions to my dark days
Feels like im alone, my dreams leaving at speed of light waves
Interlude:
Sometimes we come to America for opportunity, for equality. And things don¡¯t happen¡¦things don¡¯t follow the plan
But u know¡¦we gotta try¡¦we cant lose hope¡¦ we came here.. to fulfill our dreams¡¦we cant give up..no¡¦.we wont give up¡¦we will succeed¡¦imma keep trying¡¦to reach my goals¡¦that¡¯s my American dream
Chorus 2X
Verse 2:
In my brain these days, ive tried even harder
U know da saying, wut doesn¡¯t kill a man will make him stronger
That wut I live by, im gonna live life right
Imma keep trying, keep rhyming, till my soul dies
American dream, Yo that what its all about,
We all gone through days were in pain, we wanna shout
whether or not u reach it, remember
It¡¯s the thought and hope that counts
Wut matters is that u try, time will come around
So join hands with me, and keep our hopes from going
No matter what happens, we gotta keep our dreams flowing
Kids dreams, hoop dreams, its all the same thing
Getting a job, education, we hope for da same dream
American dream isn¡¯t juss about failing or passing
It da thought having a dream, of wut we wishing
So¡¦don¡¯t connect a failure to giving up
You gotta know that,
even if u fall,
u can still stand up
Hook:
Yea..yea¡¦keep it strong¡¦.keep it strong
Yea..yea¡¦keep it strong¡¦.keep it strong
Yea..yea¡¦keep it strong¡¦.keep it strong
Keep it strong, theres nothing wrong, keep it strong
(chorus 4X)
