Yeah, what’s up? (Yeah, what’s up?)
Welcome to America baby (uh)
CHome of the brave, American Dream (yeah)
Uh, yeah

[Chorus: Jeezy]
I just wBbant a big ol' bag of money when I see my jeweler
BbGet a hard-on when I'm counting up that mula
CScarface, into living life like a king
Every Cday eating good with my team (the American Dream)
BbFirst they said I wouldn't, but I knew that I would make it
BbCopped my first pie, yeah, I knew that I could bake it
CScarface vision, living life like a king
Every Cday grinding hard with my team (the American Dream)
[Verse 1: Jeezy]
BbYou either good or you great
You either real or you fake.
BbThat's why I stay spitting the real
Because the real ones relate
CY'all must was raised by some haters
You niggas go 'head and hate
CF-F-Four car garage for the 'Rari, that bitch came with the estate
BbI swear them streets get so tricky, glad I ain't fall for the bait
So focused and I'm determined, can see that shit in my face
CYou niggas go 'head and face it
Lil bitch, ain't shit 'bout me basic
Hit a lick on them bitches and went and iced out a bracelet
BbNever let my flaws and my past come get the best of me
BbTurn a two fifty to a half, I got the recipe
First my PCresident was Black, now my President is wack
I ain't nCever going broke, what's American in that?
[Chorus: Jeezy]
I just wBbant a big ol' bag of money when I see my jeweler
Get a hard-on when I'm counting up that mula
CScarface, into living life like a king
Every dCay eating good with my team (the American Dream)
BbFirst they said I wouldn't, but I knew that I would make it
BbCopped my first pie, yeah, I knew that I could bake it
CScarface vision, living life like a king
Every Cday grinding hard with my team (the American Dream)
[Verse 2: J. Cole]
BbGot money to make, blow out the candles then cut up the cake
BbThen I put it on plate, I'm running the game, you running in place
CStill a youngin' at heart, but mentally, bitch I'm a hundred-and-eight
CLike Pun in the late 90s, my niggas is juggling weight
BbRunning from state to state, gunning up ways to safety
BbI'm on a paper chase, whatever it takes to make me
CA millionaire, silly cause how many really get there?
I mean, Chow many niggas is Jeezy?
Y'all make this shit sound so easy
BbBreezy, turn on the TV, see these niggas that trap on the CD
Meanwhile, back home, my niggas sell crack at the BP
CHoping one day they can be the
Niggas is there on the screen
C'Cause that's the American Dream
Now here go the thing, listen
BbHysterical screams, coming from mothers that buried their kings
BbOr the unbearable pain of watching them walk out with the sheriff in chains
CBecoming a number, they no longer care bout the name
N.C.
White folks been getting rich off of cocaine
BbThrough some underhanded methods, I don't got time to explain
Out of Bbfear that I won't reach 'em and since preaching ain't my thing
I just drCop a gem or two within a few verses I sing
For all my rCeal niggas trapped inside the game
You know that already
[Chorus: Jeezy]
I just wBbant a big ol' bag of money when I see my jeweler
Get a hard-on when I'm counting up that mula
CScarface, into living life like a king
Every Cday eating good with my team (the American Dream)
BbFirst they said I wouldn't, but I knew that I would make it
Copped my first pie, yeah, I knew that I could bake it
CScarface vision, living life like a king
Every Cday grinding hard with my team (the American Dream)
