[Verse 1:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Verse 2:]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3:]
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

[Chorus x2]
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
