Jay-Z – American Dreamin' Lyrics  Share

From Jay-Z's album: American Gangster

(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 shit 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, niggas 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 bitch, 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 fucking with me!
The ironies are, had all coast better before he was bars
[ American Dreamin' lyrics from

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 coke 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...
