American Dream Plan B

I'm gonna make my way through this world someday
I don't care what nobody say
American dream, political scheme
I'm gonna find out for myself someday
But I'm half-lit, I can't dance for shit
But I see what I want, I go after it
And my girl's alright, treats me nice
Saying nothing but a woman puts out that light

I got a dream I'm gonna fight till I get it
I got a dream I'm gonna fight till I get it right
Till I get it right

Oh well, my baby no doubt dreams further out
Making moves to get us someway someday
Well my honey don't trip, shoots from the hip
Tell me everything gonna be OK

I got a dream I'm gonna fight till I get it
I got a dream I'm gonna fight till I get it right
Till I get it right

Well, my mama so sad
Daddy's just mad
'Cause I ain't gonna have the chance he had
My success is anybody's guess
But like a fool, I'm betting on happiness

I got a dream I'm gonna fight till I get it
I got a dream I'm gonna fight till I get it right
I got a dream I'm gonna fight till I get it
I got a dream I'm gonna fight till I get it right
Till I get it right
