| I say God bless America, America
|
| I say God bless America, America
|
| Sweet dreams America, America
|
| Yea ok people say I’m too honest holding onto a promise
|
| Just an open book full of novels, fairy tales full of sorrows
|
| On negatives I don’t ponder, stay at peace with my conscious
|
| Stayed prayed up we gon prosper, got to peep game let it wander
|
| Got to crawl before you start walking yea not unless you ahead of time
|
| My first step was me jogging, my memories sweet, chin music
|
| Let’s kick shit Sean Michaels, got a beer with me Steve Austin
|
| Got to stay woke all eyes open they don’t want to see us move forward
|
| Got a book bag full of CDs, call justice for Mr. Alton
|
| We a hundred deep at each market
|
| And the police get first dibs for their grandparents and their partners
|
| Screamin fuck 12 we don’t cop peace, we don’t eat pigs too often
|
| It’s a system built to stop us like why my brothers keep dying
|
| Yea why these babies got to grow up with no fathers to look up to man it’s
|
| happening too often
|
| We tired counting our losses we tired hanging out coffins
|
| We tired of knowing that in America being a black man is being cautious
|
| Yea too many single mommas on this side
|
| Yea there’s way too many lies being televised
|
| Why they can kill and go home and eat with their family
|
| Meanwhile Mr. Noble just got 13 years for 2 grams of weed
|
| It’s way too many double standards on this side
|
| We just seen two black men get killed on Instagram
|
| Wish I could put Jesse Williams' speech on this song
|
| And change the world for the better what we got to do we fed up
|
| God bless America, America
|
| A land that’s not so free
|
| Said God bless America, America
|
| Please take those chains off me
|
| Pray for America, America
|
| Let my people breathe
|
| Being black in America, America
|
| Is a dangerous thing to be
|
| Yea I said I think us as a people should show some unity before an act of
|
| violence
|
| I think we should march hand in hand without it being a riot
|
| I feel like somebody shouldn’t have to die for us to come together
|
| See the more we become organized it ain’t shit that they can tell us
|
| I know you hate us I know you fuckin hate us I see it
|
| I know you intimidated you just imitating the shit that you see
|
| That’s how your parents raised ya and that right there has become a routine
|
| So am I next should I ever have to reach for my ID, man it’s beyond the police
|
| We got to show every boy, an girl, man and women that we all precious in God’s
|
| sight
|
| Whether black or white, red or blue we’re all human
|
| We just need humanity and a little bit of justice in this short life
|
| Just put yourself in our shoes said put yourself in Trayvon’s hoodie
|
| Put your hands up like Mike Brown, Be 12 with a BB gun or armed and fit the
|
| profile
|
| Man this shit is unbearable the list can go on and on
|
| Are they really hearing us, you know they got fear in us
|
| It’s not what we want, just want to be seen as equal, together let’s keep the
|
| peace
|
| Said God bless America
|
| God bless America, America
|
| The land that’s not so free
|
| Said God bless America, America
|
| Please take those chains off me
|
| Pray for America, America
|
| Let my people breathe
|
| Being black in America, America
|
| Is a dangerous thing to be
|
| Try making happy music when you ain’t happy, try uplifting your people when
|
| you’re at your lowest
|
| Try keeping your belief stronger than while hiding every bit of doubt you got
|
| in your heart hoping God don’t notice
|
| No this this ain’t a cry for help man all I need is an ear
|
| And when the inspiration ain’t striking all I need is the spare
|
| Time from you if really do care and if you’re willing to hear cause people
|
| always got shit to say
|
| But it ain’t as wise as the listener, yea I know it take a while to get in line
|
| I’m D Rose leave the bullshit right in the nick of time
|
| I need closure not selfish though all I need is piece of mind I need loads of it
|
| Love we need more of it the world we don’t know of it
|
| Need to lift my spirits hop in the uber and go soul searching
|
| Even if the surge is a million plus I’m all in for it
|
| My mama and my kids still living what I need friends for
|
| My brothers feel the same way I feel that’s what I got them for |
| My lows ain’t never been this high
|
| Not really complaining cause my karma ain’t never been this good
|
| Hard to explain when finding the thinnest line between everything that’s alright
|
| And abundant sacrifice that could possibly change your life
|
| Said I woke up to a song from the birds
|
| Walked outside I seen a sunflower grow from the concrete
|
| I looked up seen a lightening bug glowing in broad day
|
| That’s when it hit me that fear is just and illusion inside me
|
| I know my life is beyond me I see my worth everyday
|
| I know my people there’s heartbreak written all over your face
|
| I went a bought me a mustard seed to remind me of faith
|
| And I’ll kick Satan in his ass, tell struggle pardon its way
|
| No I won’t let you kill my dream like you did Martin
|
| What’s an American dream, when you can’t dream in America?
|
| No don’t sleep on that balcony they assassinate characters
|
| Had to drink a brew or two I swear that shit is unbearable
|
| But I’m the living proof of a better you
|
| From the letter U, falling down and getting back up
|
| Its righteous it makes for a better you
|
| It’s time to rewrite history
|
| This time we’ll pick a better noose instead of putting it around your neck
|
| We gon dangle our success in front of every soul whose heart is grown apart of
|
| our neglect
|
| I just pray you think about me oh darling
|
| I just pray you think about me before it’s too late
|
| I just pray you make it back home
|
| All you got to do is let me know when you’re on the way
|
| Cause the sun don’t shine on this side this side too much longer |
