Slave Boats
"One, two, " said a cop, "three"
Found a murder weapon in his hand, he said
"It's not me!"
(America) Wanna stop me? Get a less hot beat
I made a couple hundred grand and
They told me that talk's cheap
So careful who you listen to
I see who you pretend to be
I know that it isn't you
(We're locking up your role models)
The conditions that they're living through
Make 'em wanna get a gun and
Drop white like pigeon poop
Live from the spot where the slave boats park
We replaced 'em with a yacht
(take a picture of it)
Getting oil, can't stop
Got the waste mountain climbing
We gon' take it to the top
(To the top) Hands for the money
(Hands down) Hands without food
(Hands up) I know you kids looking hungry
(Give it up, give it up
Give it up) We gon' need that too
Hot dogs, Michael Phelps, baseball
Racism, classism, H-bombs, napalms
(I pledge allegiance)
Bud Light, revolution, bravery
Lynch mob, burnt cross, segregation, slavery
(USA) listen children, open up the syllabus
White people landed here and then
They started killing it
Blood and innocence under the
Soil of the villages
A country made of immigrants that
Don't want any immigrants
(Build a wall) Flag waving in the sky
What it symbolize? Mountain made of bodies
Had to die for the enterprise
So yes, protest, but guys
That is ill-advised
The poor not ready for a war if it did arise
(they not ready)
Bulletproof vest fashion, yeah, we civilized
Fliest right here, militarized
You feel the vibe?
Let's get a babysitter and
Shelter to chill inside
And hope she gets me off like a
Cop when he kill a guy
Move aside the curtain of pollution
Type a status 'bout it, say you'll do shit
You don't do shit red, white, and blue
The decoration's made of bruises
Uncle Sam is drinking night and day
He gets abusive
Life's a bitch but you thirst for the juices
Learn the ropes just so you
Can turn 'em into nooses
Speak about it and we gonna
Make you feel doofus
'til you get reclusive or
You chuck the deuces
Live from the spot where the slave boats park
We replaced 'em with a yacht (that's America)
Getting oil, can't stop
Got the waste mountain climbing
We gon' take it to the top
(To the top) Hands for the money
(Hands down) Hands without food
(Hands up) I know your kids looking hungry
(Give it up, give it up
Give it up) We gon' need that too
We gon' need that too
America the beautiful, America the great
America's a funeral, America's a wake
America the beautiful!
Everything is usual, it usually fake
America's a sewer leak that
Drains into a lake a cannery of tuna fish
Still going for the cake
America's a crucifix, a mix of love and hate
America the beautiful!
