Yeah

This Is America
The Real America

Yo!

In beginning we were nothing but cotton pickers, In servitude
Disenfranchised, fucked by the Justice system
Jim Crow laws, Crack imported in the ghettos
Just some things to try to stop Black America
Cruising in a Dodge Dart, Jamming to my fucking system
Cops right behind me
Flashing lights in my mirrors
Pulled me over said license and registration
No questions no sudden movements
I gave it no hesitation
He said step out the car
I said officer what’s the reason
His hand now on his gun, aggressively he repeated
(Step out the car!)
I put my hands up, slowly I proceeded
As soon as I stepped out, his partner searching my vehicle
I didn’t do nothing wrong, he said we’ll be the judge of that
Cops said I found something, he came out with a bag of gas
Another example when twelve targets the black man
Planting drugs on us to make their fucking quota

In WHITE AMERICA!
I’m just a thug causing trouble
A ghetto boy from the slums
In WHITE AMERICA!
Just a criminal to the police
With a target on his back
In WHITE AMERICA!
How can we run the same race
But you plotting on us to fail
In WHITE AMERICA!
Cuz in the land of the free
We’re nothing but a slaves!

From Mass Incarceration
The Gentrification of our ghettos
Constantly Discriminated, Oppressed since the days as slaves
Structural Racism, from education to our wealth
Government passing laws supporting inequality
Nowadays they reaping the benefits from the past
We can’t knell or protest, mass shooters are getting a pass, damn
White people couldn’t walk a second in my shoes
Everyday paranoid, wondering if today will be your last
Stereotyped by the media, labeled as Drug Dealers
Gang Bangers, You got the world hate me cuz my melanin
Land of the free, I really that’s funny
My People’s blood sweat and tears made this damn country
We set the trends, we change culture
We invented things that changed the world
Ancestors of 12 million, Trump we need our respiration
Open your eyes don’t let White privilege jade you
My people steady dying BUT YOU CLAIM WE ARE EQUAL!!

In WHITE AMERICA!
I’m just a thug causing trouble
A ghetto boy from the slums
In WHITE AMERICA!
Just a criminal to the police
With a target on his back
In WHITE AMERICA!
How can we run the same race
But you plotting on us to fail
In WHITE AMERICA!
Cuz in the land of the free
We’re nothing but a slaves!

We’ve been discriminated
We’ve been incarcerated
They tryna dehumanize us
So they can eradicate us
We’ve been discriminated
We’ve been incarcerated
They tryna dehumanize us
So they can eradicate us
We’ve been discriminated
We’ve been incarcerated
They tryna dehumanize us
So they can eradicate us
We’ve been discriminated
We’ve been incarcerated
They tryna dehumanize us
So they can eradicate us
POW!

What if put our money into Black business
Not destroy but to Educate
Give a little wisdom
Teach the young to be financially literate
Entrepreneurial skills, stop accumulating more debt
Hold each other accountable, we are one clan
If I eat you eat, our money for the community
Small business to enterprises
In the long run its worth it
Recycling black dollars, rebuilding Black Wall Street!
Atlantic Slave Trade wasn’t the beginning History
Used to be scientists, scholars, mathematicians, No fictions
We used to run many civilizations
Before degradation, before the plantations
Use our influence for good, no more negative interpretations
United as one tribe, Stop aiding our extermination
Minds like Farrakhan , Take action like Huey Newton
Take a stand like Rosa Parks, So our dreams be Martin Luther!

BLACK AMERICA!
Cuz we deserve to have a voice
We more than a second class
BLACK AMERICA!
I love my people so much
It’s time to make a stand
BLACK AMERICA!
Instead of Crabs in a barrel
Let’s be links on a chain
BLACK AMERICA!
Cuz United we’ll win
Divided we’ll fall in…

WHITE AMERICA!
I’m just a thug causing trouble
A ghetto boy from the slums
In WHITE AMERICA!
Just a criminal to the police
With a target on his back
In WHITE AMERICA!
How can we run the same race
But you plotting on us to fail
In WHITE AMERICA!
Cuz in the land of the free
We’re nothing but a slaves!

This Is America
The Real America
