Dreamed of you this mornin`
Then came the dawn and I thought you were here with me
If you could only see how much I love you
That`s all, that`s all, baby

Oh no, I`ll never give up on you
(I never felt that before)
Oh no, I`ll never give up on you
(I never felt that before)

Oh no, I`ll never give up on you
(I never felt that before)
But there`s always
(That`s all that`s all)

This is the s**t you dream about with the homie steamin` out
Back-back-backin` them Beemer`s out
Seems as our plans to get a grant
Then go off to college, didn`t pan or even out

We need it now, we need a town
We need a place to pitch, we need a mound
For now, I`m just a lazy boy
Big dreamin` in my La-Z-Boy

In the clouds of smoke, been playin` this Marvin
Mama forgive me, should be thinkin` `bout Harvard
But that`s too far away, ni**as are starvin`
Ain`t nothin` wrong with aim, just gotta change the target

I got dreams of baggin` snidd-ow the size of pillows
I see pies every time my eyes clidd-ose
I see rides, sixes, I gotta get those
Life`s a bitch, I hope that I make her over, though

Oh no, I`ll never give up on you
(I never felt that before)
American dreamin`
Oh no, I`ll never give up on you
(I never felt that before)
It`s just American dreamin`

Oh no, I`ll never give up on you
(I never felt that before)
American dreamin`
But there`s always
(That`s all, that`s all)

Now see, the life`s right there
And it seems right there, it`s not quite near
And it`s not like we`re professionals movin` the decimals
Know where to cop? Nah, got a connect? No

Who under heaven knows how to be successful
Need a Personal Jesus, I`m in Depeche Mode
They say it`s celestial, it`s all in the stars
Like Tony Caruso, how you played the card

Y`all ain`t f**kin` with me
The ironies are, had all coast better before he was bars
Now let`s start, on your mark
Get set, let`s go, get out the car

Goin` in circles, it`s a vicious cycle
This is a crash course, this ain`t high school
Wake up, Muttley, you`re dreamin` again
Your own reality show, the season begins

Oh no, I`ll never give up on you
(I never felt that before)
American dreamin`
Oh no, I`ll never give up on you
(I never felt that before)
It`s just American dreamin`

Oh no, I`ll never give up on you
(I never felt that before)
American dreamin`
But there`s always
(That`s all, that`s all)

Step one in this process, scramble up in your projects
And head to the heights where big coke is processed
You gotta convince `em that you not from the Precinct
Please speak slow, `cause he no speakey no English

If he takes a likin` after a couple of trips
If your money is straight, he`s gon` give you consignment
You`re now in a game where only time can tell
Survive the droughts, I wish you well

Survive the droughts, I wish you well
How sick am I? I wish you health
I wish you wheels, I wish you wealth
I wish you insight so you could see for yourself

You could see the signs, when the jackets is schemin`
And the cops is comin`, you could read their mind
You could see from behind, you could redefine
The game as we know it, one dream at a time, I`m American dreamin`

Oh no, I`ll never give up on you
(I never felt that before)
American dreamin`
Oh no, I`ll never give up on you
(I never felt that before)
American dreamin`

Oh no, I`ll never give up on you
(I never felt that before)
American dreamin`
But there`s always
(That`s all, that`s all)
American dreamin`

Oh baby
But there`s always
(That`s all, that`s all)
But there`s always
(That`s all, that`s all)
