Stars

[Verse 1: Curt Kennedy]
I been adding this to my contribution
And hope it clicks like them kids did when school shooting
Bad analogy, basketball, afterschool shooting
Saying it's fire out of my hands, that’s Hadouken
Yeah, let's get into it deeper
King size air mattress, Curt been a sleeper
Stars on our flag, states, liberty to all
Though that broad in New York's tall, us blacks couldn’t meter
How's that for size, patriotic Christianity's not anathematized
Even though it treated old grown men half of their size
They would quote the Bible but their love was stars and the stripes
That's why the natives that were here they all would just swipe
And y'all just heard 'em say whites took all of their rights
This Christianity was taught and not all would bite
But overwhelmingly the church believed that God was all right, right?

[Hook: Cameron Dukes]
Who are the real stars of the nation
And who thought this was not degradation
Who taught that this was love not hating
Teach it to me, preach it to me
Who taught that it was not hypocritical
And who thought the consequences would be minimal
You ought to see yourself as a criminal
Speaking to me, with no decency

[Verse 2]
The hypocrisy is that deep, look at the American Revolution
White on white oppression, the tension that grew was brooding
Politicians and preachers, the Bible they clearly using
Inspiring men to die for their freedom is not amusing
But it's eye-opening, what a lie hope in them
Was off 'cause they were taught Revelation 2 is the manner fights should be fought
So when the reverend’s through, they have caught a meaning from The text they should’ve never knew, and so they fought
To the death, see, the dragon was Great Britain
And slay him they were taught was American, it was written
The Bible made them so patriotic they could envision that
Archangel Michael was with them and they was winning
And that's the type of stuff that Samuel Sherwood was spitting
American Revolution brings Christ in the millennium
The Bible is Republican, the colonies was taught that
And God is with America and that’s why they fought back

[Hook: Cameron Dukes]
Who are the real stars of the nation
And who thought this was not degradation
Who taught that this was love not hating
Teach it to me, preach it to me
Who taught that it was not hypocritical
And who thought the consequences would be minimal
You ought to see yourself as a criminal
Speaking to me, with no decency

[Verse 3]
A lot to add to my two cents
To the way our country demonstrates jurisprudence
With all the lives they stole they gotta get a new fence
And did it teaching that God for this had no recompense
It's ironic, though, to say scripture teaches when the Brits
Fought the colonies, that God He was pleased with
Peter Thatcher said fight to the last drop of blood
And many pastors taught God was using them to be the judge
Of England, but what's this mean when you should fight oppression
Coming from whites but to the blacks you suppress them
Civil rights wasn't the church’s fight, it's not the mission
When it came to black slaves, the Imago Dei, it was missing
In the Civil War, nah, the church shouldn't get involved
For American Independence, God said kill 'em all
What hypocrisy? I'm giving you facts, you getting mad
Why every time I bring this up you wanna talk about my dad
