Dreamin' Lyrics - American Idol

[B.o.B] 

Well I got up today 

and I put on my shades 

and I said I was fine (Im fine) 

but everyone knew that I was lying 

if you look at my face 

and the way that I behave 

you will still see a disguise 

even if you was blind (damn) 

[Chorus] 

but now Im saying bye, goodbye 

American Dreaming 

American dreaming 

its not that hard to find 

cause most of the time 

Im American sleeping 

I barely can see it 

but now Im saying bye, goodbye 

As I rhyme and I rap 

the average listener is blind to the fact 

that my mind has been tapped 

I carry the World as it lies on my back 

my spine coulda cracked so 

please pay me no mind as I laugh 

this is all a stage every line is an act 

killing the American dream with a trap 

like a axe, Ima put it in a sack 

Ima put it in the back of the black cadilliac 

cause Im travelling 

some say that Im throw like a javelin 

Im really tryna expose to the galaxy 

then break off the mould to normalities 

people called the election a tradegy 

looking at the screen like this cant be happening 

I aint saying that Im some kind of activist 

but someting be attacking us 

[Chorus] 

Okay, bring it back 

I was filling my time just posing 

like a mannequine you pass by 

tryna make it one day to the big league 

where the girls aint hard to find 

all the time I was just searching 

a plastic promised land 

and I got myself entangled in a corporated plan (sign here) 

but a dream is nothing 

and its everything at the same time 

so you never know when you might wake up 

and find you was just living a lies 

goodbye, just like Trey said 

goodbye America, Goodbye 

cause anything but the truth is a waste of time 

[Chorus]
