Once upon a time, America was born from some centuries of crime

Up in Great Britain

The government was tripping

The people had enough and they wanted independence

Soon, it was written

Then the revolution

Which resulted in a war

Both sides shooting

Political pollution

Then they went and signed the constitution

Black niggas in bondage was the conclusion

Took us from our home

Threw us on a ship

Locked us up with chains

Beat us all with whips

Blood leaking down our lips

Our religion and our culture was stripped

Generations of destruction that could never be fixed

Land of the free

Home of the brave is the

Land of the greed

Home of the slave

The place you got to die to know your worth

Welcome to America

The greatest place on Earth

I know we're trapped in the darkness

I know this place is so heartless

This is the land of the free

Home of the brave

God please, take this pain away

Welcome to America

It ain't what it seems

Malcolm had a gun

Martin had a dream

Black bodies lynched

Water hose sprayed

Separate but equal is what the country portrayed

Slavery was abolished but they locked us in a cage

Minimizing wage

Cross us off the page

We just want equality

We want the world to change

When we speak our truth, they perceive us in a rage

Stuck up in they ways

Trying to be civilians but they still see us as slaves

Drowning in the hatred

Losing hope in being saved

Only way for peace is when we stuck up in a grave

It's a shame to say

Land of the free

Home of the brave is the

Land of the greed

Home of the slave

The place you got to die to know your worth

Welcome to America

The greatest place on Earth

I know we're trapped in the darkness

I know this place is so heartless

This is the land of the free

Home of the brave

God please, take this pain away

We need the glory

We need the power

We need the glory

We need the power

We need the glory

We need the power

We need the glory

We need the power

Make America great or make America hate again

That's the agenda of Donald Trump

Law and Order got us dying by a gun

At least now, we see what they sweeping under the rug

Government corrupt

Niggas losing hope and so they settling for drugs

Dealing to a kid just to make a couple bucks

Today, politicians is the modern day thugs

America's beloved

Police killing blacks at an all time high

To the point where it's hard to even chill outside

Never will you justify

How you voted for a man that wanted to murder the Central Park Five

(Exonerated)

Sounding like unusual and cruel

Money for the war but there's no money for the schools

Welcome to America

Land of the foes

Hatred for eternity

Is all we'll ever know

I know we're trapped in the darkness

I know this place is so heartless

This is the land of the free

Home of the brave

God please, take this pain away
