Remember those days when,
When you’d spend all day with your friends
With your peers and classmates
Detention if you come in two times late
Wondering why the hell?
Why’s this shit required?
And think of your grandparents who worked till they fell
And Some who could never retire
Because although they’re sick and tired
They’re working minimum wage
Constantly hired and fired
Till they die of old age?
America is the place of American dreams
Where the once brand new lady liberty gleamed
Where the world set it’s eyes
And supposedly was free of boasts and lies
And open for any race or religion to try
To get rich or possibly die trying
This is America, home of the strong
This is America, where you can right your wrongs
Chorus:
This is Ameeeeerica
Ameeeeerica …show more content…
Your Mother eggs you on although she’s hypocritical and bits her own toungue
If it’s so possible
Why’s it seem so diabolical
If it’s so logical
Why’s only a handful of people’s wealth astronomical?
My cup was never half full
In fact it’s pretty much empty
Thinking how the fuck does school actually help me?
What does it teach me?
A squared plus b squared
But look at how the middle class fared
Encouraging education
Looking for brighter futures for our nation
Teachers underpayed
Very people who’re s’pose to pave the way
What are we learning?
What are we earning?
People need to start paying attention to the warnings
Rappers getting rich
Talking about fucking a bitch
Meanwhile you work a 9-5 and still underpayed
And rappers STILL rap about getting laid!
Ha, well not today
Kendrick, Cole, Joey, and Logic
Four of the new artists who truly got it
Rap about the real
When you’d spend all day with your friends
With your peers and classmates
Detention if you come in two times late
Wondering why the hell?
Why’s this shit required?
And think of your grandparents who worked till they fell
And Some who could never retire
Because although they’re sick and tired
They’re working minimum wage
Constantly hired and fired
Till they die of old age?
America is the place of American dreams
Where the once brand new lady liberty gleamed
Where the world set it’s eyes
And supposedly was free of boasts and lies
And open for any race or religion to try
