lirik lagu joe aaron reid - cadillac car
[curtis]
(spoken)
the american concept of success is represented by a three~letter word known to every child.
(sung)
big
as in large
as in huge
as in mine is better than yours
now, once upon a time, the cadillac car represented the highest classes in america:
the pure unstained wasp
they never worried about the cost, no
then the cadillac car was bought by the rising jews to prove they were as good and part of the scheme
now we got the cadillac taken over by our negro brother to prove he, too, belongs
in the american dream
[c.c. & jimmy]
he, too, belongs
in the american dream
