Mercedes Benz (The American Dream) feat. Janis Joplin
[Hook: Janis Joplin] Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz
[Verse 1: G-Eazy] All black leather seats, that's luxury Riding doing drugs in her Porsche, that's gluttony The rich girl that takes it all for granted, acts upiddy She never knew about hard work, that's fuckery Swear I got to college and I felt so out of place Cause everyone around me had their parents throw their ways To blow it on appearance, they just let it go to waste They party on the beach, scene their pictures shown their face Its so superficial but I want it all the same too Limelight, you probably feel the same I don't blame you I admit I want the kind of dough that might change you Dreams of being on my way, I woke up when it came true Soon as I'm rich Ima cop a set of keys And fit it to a whip manufactured over seas Believe that he earns every dollar that he spends All my friends drive Porsches I gotta make amends
[Hook: Joplin]
[Verse 2] But I'll probably never fit that mold Who else could ever flip this and make it sound like gold Blow the dust off a record four decades old Bridge the gap between cultures, made this shit sound cold And all the moms love me now for samplin' Joplin Im stickin' with my team, Im the rap John Stockton I've been workin', playin' shows from Atlanta to Austin They put me on the bill and all the rich hoes flocked in I made this shit myself while you rap on a friends beat I work my ass off just and I'm just making my ends meet I cover mad ground like I'm running with ten feet And Ima keep grinding till I sit on a Benz seat Soon as Im rich Ima cop a set of keys And fit it to a whip manufactured over seas Believe that he earns every dollar that he spends Ima blow it like the wind, Ima cop a fuckin' Benz
