This is America!

STOP! HOLD ON! WAIT A MINUTE!

LET ME REMIND YOU OF EVERY AFRICAN AMERICAN FAMILY RIPPED APART AND SOLD IN SLAVERY.

OH! DIDNT YOU KNOW?

THIS IS AMERICA.

LAND OF THE FREE.

HOME OF THE BRAVE.

BLACK TEENS AND MALES GETTING SHOT DOWN BY POLICE TODAY.

AN UNJUST SYSTEM BETWEEN BLACKS AND WHITES.

OH! DIDNT YOU KNOW?

THIS IS AMERICA.

THE GREAT AMERICA OUR PRESIDENT WANTS TO MAKE GREAT AGAIN.

MAN! HE MUST WAS DREAMING THERE MUST OF BEEN A DIFFERENT AMERICA THEN.

WHILE A BLACK TEEN RUNS AWAY FROM THE REAL THREAT,

YET A WHITE A TEEN KILLS 17 STUDENTS,

YET LIVED BOTH THREATS.

I HEAR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, AND I RAISE MY HAND TO THE SKY.

"OH SAY CAN’T YOU SEE"

EVEN THE NATIONAL ANTHEM A LIE.

IN AMERICA TIS THEE.

OH! THEIR THREATENED.

SHE'S BLACK.

SHE HAS A MIND.

YEAH, THEY WANT GENOCIDE.

THEY WANT THEIR WHITE AMERICA.

THE WHITE MAN'S WORLD I LIVE IN,

BUT NATIVE'S LAND.

THE WHITE MAN'S WORLD I LIVE IN,

THAT BLACKS BUILT.

OH! THIS IS AMERICA.

THE GREAT AMERICA ON EARTH'S TILT.

FROM THIS COUNTRY TO THAT COUNTRY,

FOR SOME REASON IMMIGRANTS FLEE TO THIS FORSAKEN COUNTRY.

I WISH I CAN HELP BUT MY HANDS NOT THE WHITE HANDS SEE.

I APOLOGIZE SOMEBODY SHOULD'VE TOLD YOU THIS COUNTRY IS A BIG HYPOCRISY.

OH AMERICA!

WE, YEAH "THEY" HAVE THEIR CONSTITUTION.

THE LAWS AS WE CALL IT.

THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

A LOT OF LIARS ITS FULL.

I'M LIKE DRAKE ,

"I WASN'T HIDING YOU FROM AMERICA,

I WAS HIDING AMERICA FROM YOU."

RAPIST, THIEVES, MURDERS GO FREE,

BUT LET ME HAVE ONE OUNCE OF WEED

IT'S BYE BYE LIFE IN JAIL FOR ME.

MY WONDERFUL AMERICAN COUNTRY THAT JUDGE ME.

I JUST WONDER ENDLESSLY.

ARE YOU MORE HUMANE THAN ME?

THE CONSTITUTION, YEAH THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

SAYS WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE TREATED EQUALLY.

MAN FREDERICK  DOUGLASS WAS A SMART MAN

HE DIDN'T ARGUE SOMETHING YOU KNEW NEEDED TO END

THIS IS AMERICA

WELL IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW CHILDISH GAMBINO AND I TELL

THIS IS AMERICA

AND I'M LIKE COLE

A CROOKED SMILE BRACES COULDN'T EVEN STRAIGHTEN

LAND OF THEE FREE

THIS IS UNAMERICAN SOMEONE SAY

ARE THEY KIDDING

THEY MUST FORGOT WAY BACK IN THE DAY

THIS IS THE SAME AMERICA FROM BEGINNING TO END I CAN HONESTLY SAY

MY SWEET SWEET AMERICA

I HOPE IN THIS DAY AND TIME I MAKE PASS 17

AT THIS RATE I DON'T KNOW WHAT OTHER STATISTIC I WOULD BE

WHERE THEY ROB YOU OF YOUR FAMILY FROM THE BLACK SLAVES

TO THE JAPANESE

TO THE IMMIGRANTS AT THE BORDER TRYING TO FLEE

WHERE WHITE TEEN GET OFF EASY BECAUSE THEY SCREAMED SOMEBODY'S BULLIED ME

WHERE THE BLACK AS INNOCENT AS CAN BE GET SHOT DOWN BY POLICE

MY HOME SWEET HOME

WHERE A KID IS ALREADY BEING SENT TO JAIL FROM THE THIRD GRADE

WHERE TEACHERS ARE ALLOWED TO CARRY GUNS FROM PRE-K TO THE TWELFTH GRADE

WHERE EVERYONE IS ON DISPLAY TO SEE

WHERE THERE IS NO PRIVACY

WHERE IN HOLLYWOOD YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SEXUAL HARASS YOUR EMPLOYEE

WHERE YOU SEXUAL HARASS IN PRESIDENCY

OH I DIDN'T FORGET THEE

WHERE YOUR NAME PLOTS AGAINST YOU

WHERE YOU GET KICKED OUT BECAUSE YOUR VISA PASS DUE

WHERE WE AS BLACKS ARE POOR NOW SINCE BACK IN 1962

MY HOME SWEET HOME

SWEET LAND OF LIBERTY

OH HOW I DREAM THEY WILL LET FREEDOM BE

BUT I AM A BLACK WOMAN

A PHENOMENAL BLACK WOMAN

LIKE MAYA ANGELOU SAID

A ROSE THAT GREW FROM THE CONCRETE

AS TUPAC SAID

AND I WILL NOT LET THE WHITE MAN WORLD I LIVE

THE JUSTICE SYSTEM AND JAILS RIGGED FOR ME TO BE IN

THE STATISTIC I AM

KEEP ME FROM GETTING AHEAD.
