[00:00.89] Yes! yes! thank you for inviting me here for my final speech.
[00:04.83] ladies and gentlemen,
[00:07.32] homosexuals, lesbians, and transvestites,
[00:10.81] allow me to introduce myself as the hungry hustler, afroman.
[00:13.99] I am th
[00:15.69] Rican dream. even though the government tried
[00:18.24] to experiment with me by placing me in the projects,
[00:20.86] Im still the american dream. surrounded by drugs,
[00:24.23] jeopardized my life by living around thu
[00:26.54] Ut Im still the american dream.
[00:29.03] kicked outta palmdale high school because
[00:30.97] I was considered a distraction to the educational process.
[00:34.40] Ive traveled through the complete metamorphosis of the justice system,
[00:37.71] and Im still the american dream. entered juvenile hall as a tadpole;
[00:41.89] hopped outta prison as a bull frog, but Im still th
[00:45.01] Rican dream. the most rejected, disrespected,
[00:48.50] when I went for a job I was never selected,
[00:51.00] but I am still the american dream.
[00:53.93] and right about now, I find it quite serendipitous to see that all of
[00:57.86] Some-timin, wishy-washy, two-faced, back-stabbin,
[01:00.23] coniving hypocrites have accumulated here in my midst
[01:03.86] to persecute my character with such flagrant slanderousity,
[01:07.22] but I counter-attack by call
[01:08.97] T constructive criticism, and all of your negativity has been recycled into motivation,
[01:15.27] and I am still the american dream.
[01:18.71] Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.
[01:23.01] I once was lost, but now Im found; was blind, but now I see.
[01:27.57] theres a lot of people out there who can identify with me. young la
[01:31.00] Ght here, you may be a single teenaged mother, but you are
[01:34.18] still the american dream. the lady next to you, yes.
[01:37.74] your breasts may not be as big as men think they should be, but you are still the
[01:43.36] Can dream. young man, you may not be a baller, shot caller,
[01:46.66] with 20 inch blades on the impala, but you are still the american dream.
[01:51.60] Young man right here, you may have spent all your money on
[01:54.71] a hood rat bitch and didnt get no pussy last night,
[01:57.46] but you are still the american dream.
[01:59.14] yes sir, I am just like ham. Im for the bla
[02:02.63] N, the mexican, and even poor white, all human beings that have
[02:05.69] no rights. so put down your past,

[02:09.12] follow me as we journey through the red sea,
[02:11.87] cause I have been to the mount
[02:13.62] Op, Ive seen the promised land,
[02:15.18] mine eyes have seen the glory of the underground category.
[02:19.36] my mind has been delivered.
[02:21.05] my spirit has been reinstated from the corporate worlds modern-day slaver
