The Album immediately debuts with the words from a boy, “Once you realize you can do anything, you’re free… you can fly!” The audio clip, sampled from Macaulay Culkin, the Home-Alone-kid, starring in the 1993 movie, The Good Son. 2013, King Wizard himself, Kid Cudi sampled that clip off his Indiclud album—a direct inspiration that pushed mericanDREAM to exist. Those words at the very beginning of the track, is made to be as a tribute on how the possibilities are endless, including Matthew A Cruz creating his first full album/mixtape, without the help of any record label.

The end of the track features an old poem Matthew wrote which reveals DREAM, his entire persona, his soul—owned by God. However, there is an obsession, where DREAM craves recognition from Lucy (short-spelled and feminine version of Lucifer). This is arranged practically in an order; DREAM realizes his ability to do anything, yet his mind is unstable to do what it is he wants to do. And to add to the problem, DREAM lives in the devil’s world, hence the Garden of Lu.

picture - Matthew wrote this poem during a dark period in his life. It was an idle year, 2015 and Matthew returned back to Colorado from Minnesota, contemplating in his car. This poem is titled “Don’t Sell Yourself”, reveals Matthew’s failed attempts to impress his past crushes, though there’s a question he kept in mind. Would he sell his soul for that special one.

“It's said God owns this temple,
Yet children play with the evil.
Evil is the bad chick next door
I always want to sleep with,
That whore.
I always begged for her, act heroic
She yawned even after the Marine Corps
What more of!!!
She whispered to my ear,
In her gracious sexy voice
"It's your soul I want, son!"
