[Lyrics]
I’m gonna make my way through this world someday
I don’t care what nobody say
American dream, political scheme
I’m gonna find out for myself someday
But I’m half-lit, I can’t dance for shit
But I see what I want, I go after it
And my girl’s alright, treats me nice
Sayin’ nothin’ but a woman puts out that light
I got a dream I’m gonna fight til I get it
I got a dream I’m gonna fight til I get it right
Til I get it right
Oh well, my baby no doubt dreams further out
Makin’ moves to get us someway someday
Well my honey don’t trip, shoots from the hip
Tell me everything gonna be OK
I got a dream I’m gonna fight til I get it
I got a dream I’m gonna fight til I get it right
Til I get it right
Well, my mama so sad
Daddy’s just mad
‘Cause I ain't gonna have the chance he had
My success is anybody’s guess
But like a fool, I’m bettin’ on happiness
I got a dream I’m gonna fight til I get it
I got a dream I’m gonna fight til I get it right
Til I get it right
