letra de american scheme - garrytt

Loading...

i met man last week at a restaurant
i was with the squad we were going out for lunch
i probably could’ve sat there all night
‘cause he was telling me the story of his life
he said his name was manuel, and he had to be 50
he crossed from mexico at the age of 16
came on his own, had to make his way
all cash payments he worked everyday

his family followed right behind
he held the torch, they would light the fire
whole family worked hard in the race
they wanted the dream, they were in the right place

they bought a restaurant with the money they saved
kept expanding ‘cause they needed more sp-ce
played the money like a game of chess
just opened restaraunte numero diez

it seems like manuel found the dream
it seems like he’s a member of the team
is that true? i don’t know
he could be on a tier like he works for cutco
he made it real far ‘cause this business is so cutthroat
it’s a mystery to me, i guess i’ll say ruh-roh
uh-oh, i guess it’s a dream if you say so
but it would’ve been easier starting in fresno, right?

[instrumental]

when i was 5 years old, i believed in the dream
start a business from scratch or join an nba team
i could get anywhere as long as i work hard
keep my nose clean, follow suit, play the right cards
all that changed when i turned to a teen
i saw people dying that looked just like me
the truth came out, people got exposed
don imus called them girls nappy headed hoes

women making way less money than men
some crazy number like 10%
if you spoke any spanish, you’re a mexican
therefore you’re an illegal immigrant
i saw the bias that was built into the dream
it started way before amendment 13
here we are with the remnants of the past
an internal conflict we push to last
the dream would be given with ease to some
others fight for, stay up all night for one-
chance at a life that’s right for them
chasing something they rightfully own
if the dream is alive then it can’t be fair
since in the navy we can’t have natural hair
am i still looking at the american dream?
or is this just a cl-ssist pyramid scheme?

the man can’t hold you down if you are the man
that’s why i’m such a big fan of chance
kim k made millions off a s-x tape
she took her position and turned it into fame
people like to say she should be ashamed
but if you ask me that’s the way to play the game
if you ever start thinking that the field is even
wake yo -ss up, stop dreamin’
