(Verse 1) My people came from Africa (sh**) We had all the land Came to America They told me that I'm not a man He said my name is n******g And then he aimed his trigger At my wife and k**ed my first born As she delivered They took my god away And took my native tongue Took the name that my father gave me For another one They said I couldn't read They told me not to breed They said I had no vote They said I couldn't speak They treat us like some things They know we once were kings We went from that To trying to get respect as human beings Left us to starve and die Then filled us up with lies Split us up in sides And add some salty genocide You've got the melting pot And now it's getting hot And now your kids can't go to school For fear of getting shot So blame the gangs and thugs Or the kids and the d** Or s** it up And admit this sh** was f**ed up From the set-up. (Chorus) I though this Was America I thought we're supposed to be free Is this America It sure ain't free for me For me For me (Verse 2) I spell trouble like Mayday A n***a that you love to hate Like Oshae or OJ Maybe that's why I spell America With three Ks Or why I spell freedom with an AK The place where I stay is so love hate Cuz n***az hate love But they love hate Can't say why they want the n***a dead in me When they're the reason Why the sh** is even bred in me... But I could see the cops Or these n***az putting lead in me My only choices are to die or live Dead-il-y Don't call the FEDS on me Two strikes Don't need another felony The system's already hell on me Just trying to live peacefully and legally In a world that treats me so evilly Can you tell me what's the difference When they yell freeze From when they used to hang us from Sycamore tree's in AmeriKKKa? (Chorus x2)
