Killer Mike

American Dream Prelude

Killer Mike


"The American dream had a price tag
And only one man in a million was hungry enough to pay"
Hey man, you can save that morality for your minister
And you can save that speech for the sisters of the church
This is America, jack
This is all about corporate takeovers and money makeovers

Wealth matters and poverty doesn't
We all say we love Martin Luther King
But we all wanna live like Don King, don't we?
God bless America! God bless America!
Home of the Rockefellers, home of the Carnegies

Home of the end justifies the means
Legitimized through larceny
"Fuck the king! Fuck your taxes!"
Is what they told their masters
Before they became our masters
So rebelling against power is natural
And being an outlaw is actually
