The American Dream

Yes! Yes! Thank you for inviting me here for my final speech

Ladies and gentlemen, homosexuals, lesbians, and transvestites

Allow me to introduce myself as the hungry hustler, Afroman

I am the American Dream

Even though the government tried to experiment with me

By placing me in the projects

I'm still the American Dream

Surrounded by drugs

Jeopardized my life by living around thugs

But I'm still the American Dream

Kicked outta Palmdale High School

Because I was considered a distraction to the educational process

I've traveled through the complete metamorphosis of the justice system

And I'm still the American Dream

Entered Juvenile Hall as a tadpole

Hopped outta prison as a bull frog

But I'm still the American Dream

The most rejected, disrespected

When I went for a job I was never selected

But I am still the American Dream

And right about now I find it quite serendipitous

To see that all of you some-timin'

Wishy-washy, two-faced, back-stabbin'

Conniving hypocrites have accumulated here in my midst

To persecute my character with such flagrant slanderousity

But I counter-attack by calling it constructive criticism

And all of your negativity has been recycled into motivation

And I am still the American Dream

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now I'm found

Was blind but now I see

There's a lot of people out there that can identify with me

Young lady right here

You may be a single teenaged mother

But you are still the American Dream

The lady next to you, yes

Your breasts may not be as big as men think they should be

But you are still the American Dream

Young man, you may not be a baller, shot caller

With twenty-inch blades on the Impala

But you are still the American Dream

Young man right here

You may have spent all your money on a hood rat bitch

And didn't get no pussy last night

But you are still the American Dream

Yes, sir, I am just like ham

I'm for the black man, the Mexican, and even poor white

All human beings that have no rights

So put down your past, pick up your future

Follow me as we journey through the Red Sea

'Cause I have been to the mountain top

I've seen the Promised Land

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the Underground Category

My mind has been delivered

My spirit has been reinstated

From the Corporate World's modern-day slavery

I've been emancipated

Free at last! Free at last!

Fuck a drug test

I'm fittin' to roll some grass

Love, peace, and Afro grease

Fro-ever! Buccooocc!

A-E-I-O-U, and sometimes W

'Cause I'm high, 'cause I'm high

'Cause I'm high
