[B.o.B]

Well I got up today

And I put on my shades

And I said I was fine (I'm 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 I'm saying bye, goodbye

American Dreaming

American dreaming

It's not that hard to find

Cause most of the time

I'm American sleeping

I barely can see it

But now I'm 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, I'ma put it in a sack

I'ma put it in the back of the black cadilliac

Cause I'm travelling

Some say that I'm throw like a javelin

I'm 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 can't be happening

I aint saying that I'm 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 it's 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]
