American Way
by The Alliance· from Hit Em' Up
Something's never change, it's the American way. No one has enough everybody wants more. While the rich get rich the poor get poor. It's a rat race to get ahead; everyone's got their eye on the prize. At a never ending pace, might as well get used to runnin. I'm livin it everyday from the time I open my eyes. Some nights I just can't sleep, can't get the madness out of my mind. Sick and tired of the same old shit struggling everyday just to get by. Might as well grab a gun, cock back, take aim and let like 16 fly. But if I do that I could end it all. I'm tryin to stay ahead of the game not tryin to throw it all away. I learned at a very young age everyone's out for themselves. That holds true to the day I'm just tryin to make it through myself.
