America
Lyrics
I didn't ask to dream these moments
but kept hearing so many stories
It's like propaganda, appropriating
I wasn't settled where I was living
Mama scored some work in Sanfran
I thought that was the family's next plan
The land under my feet, I didn't leave no
What am I reaching for?
It's making me strive some more
Just to seek
Just to seek
Just to seek and I might find
How do I make it in America?
I don't know what would I do
How do I make it in America?
I don't know what to tell you
How do I make it in America?
I don't know is that dream true
How do I make it in America, America, America?
Home is where the heart is
And this song is like my protest
But for some bloody reason
The bombs have been dropping
We selective with our attention
I use to be hyped, hyped, hyped
The great USA was part of my stride
I dreamed of you it felt so right
I wish we weren't so needy of your time
What am I reaching for?
It's making me strive some more
Just to seek
Just to seek
Just to seek and I might find
How do I make it in America?
I don't know what would I do
How do I make it in America?
I don't know what to tell you
How do I make it in America?
I don't know is that dream true
How do I make it in America, America, America?
How can you keep me alive if you don't wanna?
I don't feel it from yah
I don't hear you say it
You'd rather ignore me
How can you keep me alive if you don't wanna?
I don't feel it from yah
I don't hear you say it
You'd rather ignore me
How can you keep repeating what we read in history?
Is it really happening
I don't need it, you don't hear me
Oh what is this obsession I was having with you
Is it necessary
I don't, I don't, I don't
American dream
What's that even mean?
Few and far between
Really get to see
Telling me, telling me, telling me
You acting like you ain't hurting others
You acting like you ain't hurting others
