American Pie

[Verse 1]
Looking out the window, theres a war outside
Used to know my neighbors now they all pass by
Paranoid thoughts in this place were living in
As we figuring how to solve them better yet get rid of em them
And though it could be worse glad I made it today
It wasn’t without sacrifice of others paving the way
I want to change but I don’t mean forgetting my roots
What I almost lost sense of well reality too
Still so many layers within myself to explore
Can’t forget what happened before its a part of me too
Media flipping words leaving people confused
Many different views don’t know who will turn against you
Now look, I won’t go against everything I believe
But recently, I’m feeling temptation tugging on me
Wanna be me, live free without any regrets
Only thing keeping me going knowing I'm doing my best (best)

[Hook]
We want a piece of the American pie
Killin' ourselves and we wonder why
Times changing, I wanna believe its true
Or are we fading, if so I’m caught too

[Verse 2]
We’re getting money and slowly causing divide
But have we have thought about what we’re leaving behind
For our children, or we just hoping they’ll be fine?
Can’t even find peace when I close my eyes
Went to school got the knowledge but I can’t do shit about it
Are we making progress probably not I really doubt it
We still killing over materialism and religion
And putting down anybody who ain't not sharing our vision
Whats american dreaming if you have no medical?
And going to school is a debt of a hundred though
Shit is wild, can’t cool down its been on my mind
And I gotta find a way to get paid just to provide
For my family I, sacrifice myself
Won’t ever doubt myself, hard times where I found myself
Won’t rely on politicians lying under oath
Living in peace and war, name a time there wasn’t both (both)

[Hook]
We want a piece of the American pie
Killin' ourselves and we wonder why
Times changing, I wanna believe its true
Or are we fading, if so I’m caught too
