When success is equated with excess
The ambition for excess wrecks us
As top of the mind becomes the bottom line
When success is equated with excess
If your time ain't been nothing but money
I start to feel really bad for you, honey
Maybe honey, put your money where your mouth's been running
If your time ain't been nothing but money
I want out of this machine
It doesn't feel like freedom
This ain't my American dream
I wanna live and die for bigger things
I'm tired of fighting for just me
This ain't my American dream
When success is equated with excess
When you're fighting for the Beamer, the Lexus
As the heart and the soul breath in the company goals
When success is equated with excess
I want out of this machine
It doesn't feel like freedom
This ain't my American dream
I wanna live and die for bigger things
I'm tired of fighting for just me
This ain't my American dream
'Cause baby's always talkin' 'bout a ring
And talk has always been the cheapest thing
Is it true would you do what I want you to
If I show up with the right amount of bling?
Like a puppet on a monetary string
Maybe we've been caught singin'
Red, white, blue, and green
But that ain't my America,
That ain't my American dream
This ain't my American dream
(That ain't my American dream)
I wanna live and die for bigger things
(I wanna live and die for bigger things)
I'm tired of fighting for just me
This ain't my American dream
Alright When success is equated with excess The ambition for excess wrecks us As top of the mind becomes the bottom line When success is equated with excess If your time ain't been nothing but money I start to feel really bad for you, honey Maybe honey, put your money where your mouth's been running If your time ain't been nothing but money I want out of this machine It doesn't feel like freedom This ain't my American dream I wanna live and die for bigger things I'm tired of fighting for just me This ain't my American dream When success is equated with excess When you're fighting for the Beamer, the Lexus As the heart and the soul breath in the company goals When success is equated with excess I want out of this machine It doesn't feel like freedom This ain't my American dream I wanna live and die for bigger things I'm tired of fighting for just me This ain't my American dream 'Cause baby's always talkin' 'bout a ring And talk has always been the cheapest thing Is it true would you do what I want you to If I show up with the right amount of bling?
