Uddrag
They done push me to the limit I’m all in
I might blow up any minute, did it again
Now I’m in the back of the paddy wagon
While this cops bragging about the nigga he’s jackin
I see no justice

All I see is niggas dying fast
The sound of a gun blast
Then watch the hurst past
Just another day in the life “G”
Gotta step lightly cause cops tried to snipe me

The catch, they don’t wanna stop at the brother man
I went to the bank to cash my cheque
I get more respect from the mutha-fuckin’ dope man
The Grammy’s and the American music shows pimp us like hoes
They got dough but they hate us though

---

As real as it seems the American Dream
Ain’t nothing but another calculated scheme
To get us locked up shot up back in chains
To deny us of the future rob our names
Kept my history of mystery but now I see

The American Dream wasn’t meant for me
Cause lady liberty is a hypocrite she lied to me
Promised me freedom, education, equality
Never gave me nothing but slavery
And now look at how dangerous you made me
