Asleep to Believe

'They'll have you chasing dollars, until you're deceased' His truth bites hard, a verbal beast And in the grind of the nine-to-five, we strive, we deal Thinking this pursuit's gonna be our meal 'It's called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it' Can't you feel his groove, it's time to retrieve it Hope bottled up, sold for a dime But Carlin's rap cuts through, exposing the crime It's a fast break from the fake, can't shake the fear That reality's a masquerade, and the truth's nowhere near [Verse Quick] Speed through life, like Carlin’s spree Flicker in the system, can't you see? It's a sprint on the hamster wheel, we all yield They feeding us lies, it's a bum deal ‘It's called the American Dream, 'cause you asleep if you think it's real' Our faith in illusions, gotta question the feel Of the hypocrisy circus, it’s society's spiel Living rent-free in minds, but the struggle's ideal [Verse Fast] Racin' through thoughts, with Carlin's heat Flashing truth in your eyes, feel the street beat 'The game is rigged, but you cannot quit' Sparks fly, break the dark, his wit legit It's a mad dash chase, in the scheme we drill Joke's on us, chasing green that won't chill 'It's called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it' Wake up to the con, it's time to perceive it Dodge the punches of life, it's quite surreal But George threw words like darts, made society kneel [Verse Faster] Blur of the rush, in the Carlin's gaze Scrolling through the farce, society's maze 'Cause it's called the American Dream, 'cause it's just as it seems A slumber of hopes, on corrupted beams Living on a dime, the joke's on the scene While George's echoes taunt, they forever gleam In a world where you sleepwalk through the scheme With Carlin's rhythm, break the routine It's a rat race relay, don't you feel the dare? Probably the machine, spinning the nightmare [Verse Blazing Speed] In the fast lane, with Carlin's ghost Slapping sense to the crowd, he's the host 'It's called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it' Blinded by the chase, but we're born to receive it Skipping frames in the flicker, the laugh's on us Spinning tall tales, making all the fuss When George spit the truth, did it leave a mark? Or we still droning on, missing the spark? [Verse Light Speed] With wit sharp as blades, Carlin sliced through the veil It's a rigged monopoly, a destined fail In the wake of Carlin's words, so fiercely plied In the truth of shadows, where our dreams collide 'It's called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it' Quotes like bullets, Carlin’s wisdom, can you receive it? [Verse Hyperdrive] Fly through the day, with the ghost of George Wit sharp, and his insights gorge It's a cycle of deception, they preach and we strive But in the bank of truth, it's hard to survive 'It's called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it' A whisper to the waking, it's time to achieve it
