American Nightmare (Caged In) by Brandon Newberry


Trapped inside this cage
no way out so i need to be saved
I'm a slave to this lifestyle they call the american dream
cuz it seems
the only way to be successful
is to be stressful
loans, mortgage, and rent
debit cards, credit cards, the money you spent
happiness is right outside this red white and blue cage
and this star spangled chain attached to my neck makes it no better
that bling aint gonna hide you from them bill collectors
repo your car, take your house
while you at the bar, he visits your spouse
the american dream is lookin more like a nightmare
i wish it would change
if i wake up now, i'll still b n this cage
am i livin or am i dyin' slowly?
am at a stand still lookin' down both streets with nuthin on my feet
do i walk down this street filled with broken glass
knowin one day the money gonna be comin fast?
or do i walk the road to riches
full of so many bitches
that  got you takin detours
wit no guarantee of success but guaranteed to make you poor
the more you step on that broken glass
the other road looks more appealing
the moment you doubt yourself, you hit an invisible ceiling
fuck it..
im goin over here where the bitches at
all TENS
when i get there i realize im dreamin again
heart and soul filled with so much rage
yet i can't do nothin' in this red, white, and blue cage.......
