Typed by: Nickolye16@aol.com 

[Intro/Chorus: Yelawolf]
They said the sky is the limit
Well I guess it all depends on you
And your views
In this American dream
Don't tell me that the sky is the limit
Cause it ain't about what you could do
It's a who knows who
In this American dream

[Yelawolf]
Yeah one-two one-two
One-two one-two...

Okay you got criminals everywhere, right?
Criminals smugglin dope across borders to feed America's high appetite
Ki's, pounds, ounces, grams
Whatever the weight of substance is gettin sold, cause drugs got a price
Home hydroponics, LSD chemist
Spoon cookin heroine, junkies fill up methadone clinics
Get caught for crack and catch a long sentence
You ask me how I feel about that, maybe you got the wrong witness
I heard Jay Z's cool with Obama
Obama must be cool with me then I guess if I'm packin up this Honda
Shit, I highly doubt it but fuck it, it's worth a shout out
At least that's what I tell the judge before I gracefully bowed out
Meanwhile I'm gettin taken to the county for receive
There's a news flash on the holdin cell TV
Boston bombed by a terrorist at a marathon
8 year old killed and the killer's still free
Shit is hard to believe

[Chorus] w/ ad libs

[Yelawolf]
I ain't no politically savvy citizen
I'm just an average man who writes poetry about witnessin
fuckery, and these police who always fuck with me
Done my fair share of dirt, my boy trusted me
But I picked music over hustlin, and I made it out luckily
Could've been on corners droppin quarters from a bucket seat
My cousins preach about the Lord, but all I see is crime (crime)
If the Vatican has got the book then what the fuck is mine? (mine)
Just a line with a hook (hook)
You might as well be a rapper cause you signed and get booked (booked)
All the same to a suit, black or white, you still a crook (crook)
If you ain't a Justin +Leave It to Bieber+ with that look (look)
Then just drop the egg in the skillet, let it cook (cook)
Who y'all bein took (took)
No I'm not a crook son but this +One+ ain't +Shook+ (shook)
But I'm rollin +Mobb Deep+, my dream's on a Harley Davidson
Pigs, I hardly wave at them; yeah I said hardly
If I'm rude, then pardon me - but remember

[Chorus] w/ ad libs

[Yelawolf]
My grandparents retired from 9-to-5's
Then paid for my hospital bills when momma was doin lines
I wasn't raised up like the model American
But I love what it made me, life is all about where and whens
Whos and hows, that ultimately create my heritage
My great granddaddy Otis would sit down in his chair and then
Smoke a cigarette while he sipped on Muscadine moonshine homemade
And reminisce about the old days
He died of cancer when I was 5
I wasn't allowed to go see him in his casket cause I would've cried
I got so much value off life in such a short time
Memories stick to my heart and today they still apply
They used to share crops when they were poor
He worked his ass off at the mill, and then he opened up a store
Both of my granddaddies fought a war
So I can say what I'm sayin in this record for you and yours
For you and yours, but true

[Chorus] w/ ad libs
