Lyrics
My street sermon keep burning Politicians that treat us like we vermin Trapped like rats, cats stuck in the streets Back in the day they used to give us government cheese See, it’s like the government sees Be all we can that they want us to be They indoctrinate us with lots of hatred for the way that God has made us—as sacred A people of pride that fell Who will bide in hell cannot excel Our pods in cells inside of self Assume God [?] help [?] Stop singing thе hymn of hedonists Commence to heeding this, instеad of the road that’s easiest This is soul to the soulless [?] Rogue, I [?] homes like folks preceding us Oh, America We preach hate in the national anthem Plus pout, throw international tantrums Showing cannons to Kofi Annan until I expose these madmen Folks seen famine and drought, where the blacks be at? Way before this Iraqi crap About some freedom Folks that’s pleading Bleed in the Sudan but they don’t see them ‘cause they don’t need them for oil or some resource Can we show Liberian kids some remorse? We can’t keep being so hypocritical Judge not or your judgement is just as cynical Man is pitiful, Sam is critical of lands identical, the sand we ridicule Believe in the sands invincible A man of principle [?] mad and miserable Oh, America Me and my brethren sing with the power of Reverend King Truth devouring everything This the fire your pimp juice can’t extinguish trained in English And please don’t think kids can’t distinguish between this and some old routine ish Seamless yet cats know where the seam is Torn, what you got on has been worn for seasons Jesus, ain’t y’all tired of hustling? Ain’t y’all tired of struggling? Admiring other men that’s suffering, hugging the block, busting a Glock and nervous, ducking the cops What if it stops? Do you think you wouldn’t survive? Or what if it continues? Would you still be alive? The question that I pose, America With hope, America Oh, America
