letra de the american dream - vanny goodfella

verse 1
corner store lights in new york city new york, skyline chasing stars without a pity
from brick city newark new jersey grimey blocks to brooklyn new york after hour drives after dark, we wonder who we are when we don’t end up outlined in chalk across the street from a park in either of these cities
we live to grind and hustle, we swear out loud that we all have the keys to success
but rent is too d-mn high, the laddеr to success has broke
so much frustration majority of us will all die old from a strokе
tell me what’s it mean to be free?
if we can’t afford luxury or therapy while iliving in any of these inner cities

pre-chorus
we’re chasing balance, not just gold
remote work stories, futures untold
they said hard work would set us free
but the dream feels further, can you see?

chorus
the american dream, is it real or a scheme?
a house with a yard, or a laptop and a team?
we’re living for moments, not just chasing things
redlining scars, but we still spread our wings
the american dream… oh, it’s shifting in me

verse 2
generations changing, we want life, not just pay
experiences over mortgages, we redefine the way
inequality rising, mobility standing still
they say the dream’s for everyone, but tell me who it’s real for still?
pre-chorus
liberty whispers, pursuit of happiness calls
but some are locked out by invisible walls
from harlem jazz to newark soul
we sing the truth they don’t control

bridge
it’s a fairytale they sold us
spend money we don’t own
work harder for less
pray to god every night night before you lay your soul down to rest to wake up feeling blessed while still hoping for a throne
but in the rhythm of the city where we roam
where some of us call home
we find another way
dreams of freedom, love, and balance
that’s the song we play when were all alone looking for more money, more honey & more romance

outro
new york city at night, brick city newark in the day
we rewrite the dream in our own f-cking ways
not just wealth, but joy we seek
the american dream… it’s evolving, especially when you realize all americans have their own dreams & schemes that are unique
