The American Dream
(专辑: The Good Times - 2001)
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-timing, wishy-washy, two-faced, back-stabbing, coniving 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 who 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 20 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 fitting to roll some grass. Love, peace, and Afro grease, Fro-ever! Buccooocc! A-E-I-O-U, and sometimes W. 'Cuz I'm high, cuz I'm high, cuz I'm high.
