American Prisoner

Lyrics

[INTRO] Yeah, we livin' in a land where the dreams are sold But the truths are often left out in the cold So let’s talk about the system, let’s break it down, ‘Cause this is the reality, no rose-colored crown. [PRE-CHORUS] It’s just the way they do you in America (yeah) 100 million ways that they can bury ya (yeah) The system is set up for nikkas to lose, No, two ways about it don’t get it confused. They make all the laws, they make all the rules, They burn down our homes, they defund our schools (yeah), And they will try to screw you in America (yeah), It’s just the way they do you in America. [VERSE 1] Am I proud to be American? Can’t say if I am, ‘Cause right here in America, the president do scams, Evil plans, Palace-Stan, cops still shootin' men on cam, Goddamn, you don’t really think you truly understand. Kids in cages, Muslim ban, And y’all gave him a second chance, Shit has gotten out of hand, White boy shoot the school up with an AR in his hand. And the president is extra cozy with the leaders of the clan, Man, these white folks hate the nikkas, but they sure do love a tan, Kick illegals out the country, but then order Mexi-can, America and hypocrisy seems to go together hand-in-hand. [CHORUS] It’s just the way they do you, and it cuts so deep, Living in a nightmare, we barely get sleep. Caught in the cycle, it’s hard to break free, America’s the land of the blind, can’t you see? [VERSE 2] Voices silenced, marching for the rights, We’re fighting for our lives during these brutal nights. The youth are rising, got the power in their hands, But the weight of the system, it never understands. Disenfranchised, told to ease up and pray, While the rich sit back, living easy, outta play, Politicians preach freedom, but we’ve lost track, When the focus is the money, That’s aren’t off our backs
