Nelly Feat. American Dream lyrics

Yo it be I man, fuckin' it up for errbody<br />
I can't lie man, they thought I was just gettin' started<br />
Peep the pie man, it's the American dream<br />
I'm just participatin', my participation is game<br />
Yo it be I man, fuckin' it up for errbody<br />
I can't lie man, they thought I was just gettin' started<br />
Peep the pie man, it's the American dream<br />
I'm just participatin', my participation is game<br />
<br />
I'm makin' this one for the hotel, motel, Holiday Inns<br />
Super 8, Red and the Ritz Carltons<br />
All my niggaz that tryin' to ball, my niggaz ballin'<br />
All my soldiers and generals, errbody fall in<br />
Stop stallin', pick up the phone and call in<br />
Tell your boss you ain't gon' make it to work in the mornin'<br />
And while you explainin' go 'head and throw a cough in<br />
And kindly explain that this won't happen often<br />
<br />
But I'm long and I'm amazed, I'm be willin' then dazed<br />
I rage that niggaz think that derrty don't need a cage<br />
I should be put on display, for the display I'm displayin'<br />
Half you niggaz is dyin' and all the rest are decayin'<br />
I'm doin' tracks in hotels steady rockin' girl's bells<br />
Kinda like a young L residin' in Nellyville<br />
I never squeal, not the type to kiss and tell<br />
But if I catch ya in the shower I might kiss ya tail<br />
<br />
Yo it be I man, fuckin' it up for errbody<br />
I can't lie man, they thought I was just gettin' started<br />
Peep the pie man, it's the American dream<br />
I'm just participatin', my participation is game<br />
Yo it be I man, fuckin' it up for errbody<br />
I can't lie man, they thought I was just gettin' started<br />
Peep the pie man, it's the American dream<br />
I'm just participatin', my participation is game<br />
<br />
Now as I bounced off, Kyweezy writin' movies<br />
Slo done took that mask off<br />
Mo's the leader what do ya know, Murph run his ass off<br />
I got every whip, derrty even got a Nascar<br />
And you know we fucked up at his house<br />
Ayo my rain on weed, naps and Japanese<br />
Clap at g's, smack 'em back on they knees<br />
Drop on wack, simple facts that rap needs<br />
And it's always Christ-a-mas and wrap trees<br />
<br />
And I got my game, I said I got my game from the OG's<br />
Smokin' reefer, moonshine pumpin' OD's<br />
Bought a old plain chain, yeah, you know me<br />
Shipped in from Cali got it home, cops'll know these<br />
Yo we smashed the summer<br />
We oughta recoup, call NASA to do the numbers<br />
All the friendship on the vocals started fire in the booth<br />
Got more whips and chains than amastad and russe<br />
<br />
Ali, I'm sicka ballin', unnecessary phone callin'<br />
Man down, pimp in distress I think I'm fallin'<br />
For anything but the okey doke<br />
I'm old school like her and bones and nooky ropes<br />
I can't stand no groupie folks<br />
They want me to turn around like this is hokey poke<br />

They wanna bring me down like Irv before I choked<br />
I'm not a joke at all, I'm Quick-Draw-McGraw<br />
And number 20 on the Lakers couldn't hold me ya'll<br />
<br />
I'm climbin' over ya'll, I'm still scorin'<br />
85 percenta ya'll awake but still snorin'<br />
Got knowledge of self and now my style is much older now<br />
We Derrty Ent., we all we got we hold it down<br />
I'm feelin' cooler than cool, my wrist cold and wild<br />
If there's a fashion king then I deserve the crown<br />
I'm U-City, you dressin' up, I'm dressin' down<br />
And you keep messin' up, me and your girl gon' be messin' around<br />
<br />
Yo it be I man, fuckin' it up for errbody<br />
I can't lie man, they thought I was just gettin' started<br />
Peep the pie man, it's the American dream<br />
I'm just participatin', my participation is game<br />
Yo it be I man, fuckin' it up for errbody<br />
I can't lie man, they thought I was just gettin' started<br />
Peep the pie man, it's the American dream<br />
I'm just participatin', my participation is game<br />
<br />
Ayo I'm fresh out the gate from the Lou with a Grammy in my resi'<br />
Nelly bought me a presi' with a diamond in the besi'<br />
Tics taught me how to walk so when I run I be ready<br />
Female fans sayin that I'm they baby daddy<br />
Whoa, more attention than Justin and Janet<br />
How I Midwest Swang and how I St. Louis Ram it<br />
Derrty Ent. damnit, got more bread than a samich<br />
And my wrist got more Nuggets than Carmelo and Camby<br />
<br />
Look, I'm from the Lou and I'm important like the Arch<br />
So tourists look for me like an important part shoot<br />
Find your talent, use your talent get your money<br />
Or don't find your talent and don't use it and stay bummy<br />
But that ain't on me 'cause we built it from scratch<br />
My neck shit is a house witha house in the back<br />
Man I been wild since middle school, I was that little dude<br />
That been around more waist lines than hula hoops<br />
<br />
Yo it be I man, fuckin' it up for errbody<br />
I can't lie man, they thought I was just gettin' started<br />
Peep the pie man, it's the American dream<br />
I'm just participatin', my participation is game<br />
Yo it be I man, fuckin' it up for errbody<br />
I can't lie man, they thought I was just gettin' started<br />
Peep the pie man, it's the American dream<br />
I'm just participatin', my participation is game<br />
<br />
Yo it be I man, fuckin' it up for errbody<br />
I can't lie man, they thought I was just gettin' started<br />
Peep the pie man, it's the American dream<br />
I'm just participatin', my participation is game<br />
Yo it be I man, fuckin' it up for errbody<br />
I can't lie man, they thought I was just gettin' started<br />
Peep the pie man, it's the American dream<br />
I'm just participatin', my participation is game, hey
