KiddDaLegend - The Americas lyrics

Here we are The King of all Kings Gotta earn and work hard for that American Dream Dear whoever might receive this letter Livin' in the superpower has its days, and it's not what it seems The Fame, Fortune and Glamour does more than just gleam It's like a poison for those under the spell to go get that cream Live life lavishly and forget the consequences it brings Pull up in a Ferrari with bad b**hes, and make 'em sing La-Di-Da-De, La-Di-Da-De If I had all the money in the world Then I'd be hella wealthy, girl But that wouldn't solve all my problems Money can only do so much, all else has to be followed up You gotta sometimes forget about your pride and such It takes a man to set things right and accept a couple cuts Some deep bruises, heart-wrenching pierces, and road bumps A couple car accidents while your family's intact with it A few mishaps that'll call you out on your manhood And it all makes you have to bounce back to it This is Life This is Life This is Life I don't need General Mills tellin' me what it's like Notepad with a pen, I make that ink strike This is work at its best, it doesn't get any realer Left hook that beat with a thriller like Mike Hard Knock Life, everybody's got it You don't gotta listen to HOVA, just as long as you rock it Came a long way here just from some books and street knowledge You don't gotta be a hustler to understand why the 5-0 steady watching Cameras on light poles Cameras in the traffic view Cameras on the web Makes sense, cuz its traffic on the sites too I don't bite unless it's necessary Until then, the sk** is hereditary D-A L-E-G-E-N-D, legendary Barry White sh**, Isis, Osiris To see what I'm seein', I go beyond the iris The "third" world or the pineal My soul, I don't sell Illuminati is no longer real Even though it's a new sheriff in town Just look-around Mindlessly obeying to every whim that they push out On that box we call a TV Thank God Stevie can see through the scheming Very religious and superstitious as it may seem The puppeteers of this country are handing over our lives to other beings 16 trillion in debt Before you know it, China'll be handlin' us like pets And GMO is bigger than Biggie when he's on set Crayola veggies and red dye #40 If you found what you were drinkin', you too would be worried This is the stuff my brain rambles on about Now here comes Thanksgiving You gon' be eating with family or shoppin' all out? It's just a simple question Materialism can get the best of us Will you bounce back or become reckless? Bad enough it's a holiday that don't belong to them Even worse that it's fading away along with our kin f**ed up we can save mammals, but not our own kids f**ed up even more that we can't even score That follows the history of slavery and fraudulence from before Our time Or their time to be exact It is what it is And as long as we don't commit to change–it'll stay like that Nowadays, nobody wants to hear what they've done wrong They wanna roll with the ignorance and get their money up strong I understand that it's still the Recession The government shutdown gotta a lot of people's a**istance rejected And basically went on to 2 weeks Which had non-essential workers file for unemployment with their SSI checks But it's good though Watch how Meek flow Watch how every single coming out is about being street though Keepin' it real and understanding the G Code This beat is almost 4 minutes long Shows exactly what he knows I don't make up a line talking about a pea coat I'll pee on you like R. Kelly, then watch your mother deepthroat f** all treachery and ludicrousness Tryna use stereotypes on us Like we like beating women and calling them b**hes Are you serious?! About as serious as a fact You ignore the obvious while you lay on your back The very same reason why Rap's this bad And I told you all that I'm tryna revive real Rap Let's get it…
