American Dream

American Dream One of Three

Poem

"The American Dream
Something we all seem to dream of on the daily
Chasing the dream we think can help us escape
But leaving us TRAPPED like a rat in the cage
The American Dream leave us like Modern Slaves
Chasing after the materialistic SHIT we think we need on the daily
High fashion clothes
To the foreign cars
To the expensive shoes
What the FUCK that leave us too
Alone and confused
Because if we was stripped from the shit what would be you?
I ask this question on the daily
The American Dream I try to escape
But the BULLSHIT catch back up with me
Wanting those high price sneaks
Just to show what ?
That I have money within the banking scene
When I don't have SHIT in the bank
But couple dollars hoping a N.I.G.G.A. Can feed himself on the next day
Damn, caught in the American Dream
Knowing all I need is wisdom and grace
We rob and kill just to get on top of the chain
A N.I.G.G.A. will jack another n.i.g.g.a just to survive and place money in their bank
Hoping to survive but we don't see that
We to blind thinking we need that
All we need is peace and love along with grace
But we to blind to the bullshit dream we think we need everyday
My N.I.G.G.A. robbed a brother on the block just to see his baby eat
Damn is this what we need everyday ?
My N.I.G.G.A. tried robbing a bank but for what though man ?
A n.i.g.g.a was trying to get a piece of the cake
Shit wild to me
Hearing my people go wild on the streets
Just trying to get a taste of that American Dream
All Bullshit to me
But it's hard to escape
Lord be with hurt child that can't feed there self today
Lord be with the mothers that try their hardest every day
Lord be with the fathers that can't keep up with pay
American Dream got us hurt everyday !
White is for the purity and innocent for they say
But it's the innocent they rob from us everyday !
Red is hardiness and valor for they say
But that's blood the common man or woman that work down to their bones just to place food on their family plate everyday !
Blue is for vigilance, perseverance, and justice for they say
But that's the justice they rob from us everyday !
The stars is the symbol of heaven and divine
Nigga please what heaven are we seeing today?
Would God really be satisfied and pleased of how we live everyday ?
God help the hurt souls that have to struggle everyday being lost in the bullshit American Dream they push to us everyday !
In God we Trust ?
Man FUCK that !
God is within us we NEED to speak up!
We think we are by the marching and stomping but that shit ain't doing shit for us!
We think we doing some shit by tweeting and posting pictures
Stating RIP to the brothers
Behind the screen that's were they have us !
Not in the streets physically trying to help our peps
We to caught up in the American Dream bullshit they feed and want us to see!
Lord help us please !
As I pray everyday for the trapped human beings
And for the beings that take the American Flag and hang themselves trying to get the piece of the cake
Modern Slaves to the American Dreams
Lord when will there be Love and Peace
When will people say FUCK THE AMERICAN DREAM !
But guess we will have to wait and see
Lord be with me and my peps that's trapped in this American Dream."
