American Dream Lyrics - Sweat - Nelly

Yo we be out man, fuckin' it up for erbody 

I can't lie man, they thought I was just getting started 

Keep the tie man, it's the American dream 

I'm just participating, my participation is game 

Yo we be out man, fuckin' it up for erbody 

I can't lie man, they thought I was just getting started 

Keep the pie man, it's the American dream 

I'm just participating, my participation is game 

I'm in this one one for the hotel, motel, Holiday Inn 

Super A Red and the ritz call Tins 

All my niggaz who tryin' to ball, my niggaz ballin' 

All my soldiers and generals, everybody fallin' 

Stop stallin', pick up the phone and call in 

Tell your boss you ain't gon' make it to work in the mornin' 

And why you explainin', go ahead and throw a coffin 

And kindly explain that this won't happen often

But I'm lost and I'm amazed, I'm be willing ingaige 

I'll rage that niggaz think that dirty don't need a cage 

I should be put on display, for the display I'm displayin' 

Half you niggaz are dyin' and all the rest are decaying 

I'm doin' tracks in motels, steady rockin' girl's bells 

Kinda like a young Elvis, I ain't in Nellyville 

I never squeal, not the type to kiss and tell 

But if I catch you in the shower, I might kiss your tell 

Yo we be out man, fuckin' it up for erbody 

I can't lie man, they thought I was just getting started 

Keep the pie man, it's the American dream 

I'm just participating, my participation is game 

Yo we be out man, fuckin' it up for erbody 

I can't lie man, they thought I was just getting started 

Keep the pie man, it's the American dream 

I'm just participating, my participation is game 

Photos 

Now as I blast off, Kweezie written movies 

Rollin' took that nass off 

Mostly leader will be a number runnas, ass off 

I had every with dirty even got a Nascar 

And you know we fucked up at it boss 

Aiyo my radar read, maps in Japanese 

Clap at Gs, smack 'em back on their Es 

Drop on wacks, simple facts that rap needs 

And it's always Kris I miss and rap trees 

And I got my game, I said, "I got my game" 

From the OGs, smokin' reefer moonshine 

Poppin' oldies, but the whole plane change 

Yo you know me, shipped in from Cali got it home 

Cops and goldies, then we smash some ass 

Free Autotericoop, call NASA to do the numbers 

All the freshman from the vocals started firin' the booth 

Got more whips and chains, then I'm a start in roots 

Ali I'm sick of ballin', unnecessary phone callin' 

Man down pimp in distress, I think I'm fallin' 

For anything but the okie doke, I'm old school 

Like her and bonz and nukee ropes I cant stand them groupie folks 

They want me to turn around like this is hokie poke 

They wanna break me down like erv before I choke 

I'm not a jack at all, I'm Quick Draw McGraw 

And number 20 on the Lakers couldn't hold me yahl 

I'm climbin' over yahl I'm still scorin' 

85 percent of yahl awake but still snoring 

Got knowledge yourself and now my style is much older now 

We dirty ENT, we all we got we hold it down 

I'm feelin' cooler than cool, my wrist colder wow 

If theres a Fashion King then I deserve the crown 

I'm U city, you dressin' up, I'm dressin' down 

And you keep messin' up, me and your girl gon' be messin' around 

Yo we be out man, fuckin' it up for erbody 

I can't lie man, they thought I was just getting started 

Keep the pie man, it's the American dream 

I'm just participating, my participation is game 

Yo we be out man, fuckin' it up for erbody 

I can't lie man, they thought I was just getting started 

Keep the pie man, it's the American dream 

I'm just participating, my participation is game 

Aiyo I'm fresh out the gate, from the Lou with a Grammy in my rezzie 

Nelly bought me a prezzie with a diamond in the bezzie 

Chicks taught me how to walk, so when I run, I'll be ready 

Females fans sayin' that I'm their baby daddy whoa 

More attention than Justin and Janet 

How I midwest swing and how St. Louis ram it 

Dirty ENT dammit, got more bread than a sandwich 

And my wrist got more nuggets than Carmello and Camby 

Look, I'm from the Lou and I'm important like the arts 

So tourists look for me like an important part 

Find your talent use your talent get your money 

Or don't find your talent and don't use it and stay bummy 

But that don't owe me 'cause I built it from scratch 

My next shit is a house, with a house in the back 

Man I've been wild since middle school 

I was that little dude that been 'round 

More waist lines than holla hoops 

Yo we be out man, fuckin' it up for erbody 

I can't lie man, they thought I was just getting started 

Keep the pie man, it's the American dream 

I'm just participating, my participation is game 

Yo we be out man, fuckin' it up for erbody 

I can't lie man, they thought I was just getting started 

Keep the pie man, it's the American dream 

I'm just participating, my participation is game 

Yo we be out man, fuckin' it up for erbody 

I can't lie man, they thought I was just getting started 

Keep the pie man, it's the American dream 

I'm just participating, my participation is game 

Yo we be out man, fuckin' it up for erbody 

I can't lie man, they thought I was just getting started 

Keep the pie man, it's the American dream 

I'm just participating, my participation is game, hey
