The American Nightmare lyrics Feat. Baze & Reina
[Verse 1: Rewind]
What is the price of life? Will you give it up for your family?
To support your kids? To get them something to eat?
Our country's not the best, of corruption and poverty blessed
And honestly... that's why we leave!
A check equivalent to $5 a day which is why
Which is why we don't mind those $2 an hour in the USA
You see, our nations the poorest, so many diseases
So many dead bodies and roses
I look back and ask myself, should I built caskets or be a flouriest?
[Hook: Baze]
It starts with a good-bye I pray it ain't forever
Suppose to end up on the side where it's better
Met up with the other six, got a gallon of water just in case I need a drink
In this long journey better pack a quilt and some comfortable shoes
Cuz the cold desert nights won't do you any cool...
Uh they won't do you any cool
(2x)
[Verse 2: Rewind]
The states is the director... and every other country?... actors
But this ain't no acting meng, this is reality there could be some casualties but it's for my family
Republica! we ride in the yola 70 people ben montro monta
Depart at night 1 sun 2 moons can't believe my life will be better soon
Lost without water everybody know if you quench thirst gotta drink... piss on the boat
It's that time of month? hitting rock bottom and you might end up thrown over board
And did I mention? This moving life bout connections so how you texting? your faith being tested
If you survive the ride from DR to PR
You might still get rapped, kidnapped, and sold like toys we aren't
[Hook: Baze]
It starts with a good-bye I pray it ain't forever
Suppose to end up on the side where it's better
Met up with the other six, got a gallon of water just in case I need a drink
In this long journey better pack a quilt and some comfortable shoes
Cuz the cold desert nights won't do you any cool...
Uh they won't do you any cool
(2x)
[Verse 3: Rewind]
Couldn't find Moses so I had to settle for coyote to lead me to my promise land
Escaping the south 7 people riding and hiding, crying and dieing in search for a better life
It's like the underground railroad, this time
From Mexico to Arizona, no dime
Rated 3grand and over, a lime
April 23, 2010 welcome to the sour American Nightmare our sweet dreams is now over
Sharpie, permanent, no white owl no burning it
Bill 1070 passed and now in our presences our future be gone
Flying without rings no ones falling tonight, stand up wipe your tears, stop the cry
Brewer might have burned our dreams but like the phoenix from ashes we'll rise!
[Bridge: Reina]
Let them hear our crysss ( Why won't you wanna hear it?)
Oh, let them feel our pain (just feel it just feel it)
Refuge for the nighttt (just for the night) but tomorrows another dayyy
[Hook: Baze]
It starts with a good-bye I pray it ain't forever
Suppose to end up on the side where it's better
Met up with the other six, got a gallon of water just in case I need a drink
In this long journey better pack a quilt and some comfortable shoes
Cuz the cold desert nights won't do you any cool...
(No, no, nooo they won't do you any cool)
Let them hear our crysss (Why won't you wanna hear it?)
Let them feel our pain (just feel it just feel it)
Refuge for the nighttt (just for the night) but tomorrows another dayyy
Let them hear our crysss ( Ohhhhh)
Oh, let them feel our pain (painnnnn)
Refuge for the nighttt but tomorrows another dayyyyyy
