Lyrics
Why my brother just have to let me down last night
Got into a gun fight but only brought a knife
I just never know what to expect in this life
Sometimes I just wanna lay down and close my eyes
How could I sleep with lights so bright?
Oh, my, like, that don't make no sense
Don't rhyme 'cause, I don't have the time
I'm out doing crime, trynna provide
Can't you see I bleed like everyone else?
My people in need, living in some hell
Run in the streets I look to up my health
In just a few years I'll have upped my wealth
That's the American Dream, anyways
What they're selling to get us out the way
Open your eyes, you cannot look away
Arrested again, I been awake for days
In AVL I held the first Juneteenth
Cops came to see, but wouldn't let us be
Tried to shut us down, but we wouldn't leave
Did it for more than Floyd, did it for Bre'
Few weeks prior she was murdered in sleep
Talked to my people like, this couldn't be
They never took that cop to custody
You still wonder why we hate the police
I ain't even fronting about it anymore
When they speak to me I'm shutting the door
Red and blue lights start flashing, I ignore
One to the Two to the Three to the Four
Twelve sees a negro and bang bang shot, dred
They've stopped coming to me, I'm a hot head
Married in the ghetto is a block-wed
Sacrifice every day 'til you drop dead
This is just life when you Made In America
Made In America, Made In America
Poverty in the streets, but the rich will get ya
But the rich will get ya, but the rich will get ya
This is just life when you Made In America
Made In America, Made In America
Man you not gang banging, go look in the mirror
Go look in the mirror, go look in the mirror
This is just life when you Made In America
Made In America, Made In America
We all going crazy, it's shades of hysteria
Shades of hysteria, shades of hysteria
This is just life when you Made In America
Made In America, Made In America
Poverty in the streets, but the rich will get ya
Go look in the mirror, shades of hysteria
Being Afrocentric is a mantra
Being Afrocentric goes harder
Being Afrocentric not for anyone
Being Afrocentric for the hustlers
I dreamed I had a mural
Then I recalled my last album sold zero
Look at my ego saying parabellum
Look at myself dead than living in a mental prison
Look at myself in a black bag than spending peso
Buying games to play Nintendo
Or living in a place where you call a ghetto
Some folks callous they ain't got the ammo
Sharpen a blade where bullets flying dumbo
The heck is African union if I need a visa to Azania
A visa to Namibia
What I gotta do to change the waves
To pave a way for better days for me and you for ever wait?
Blame the feds but blame the self we better change the way we think
The way we live
Better unite and fight against whoever blocks the wave
Whoever blocks the wave
In five summers
I'm telling stories on tunes you never heard of
Coffins dropping when I pilot
Bodies on bodies see how they pile up
Always on time I'm a deadline
Like a landmine try to step on me
Imma blow your ass up
Done with testing we do it Asap
Tides coming we doing laundry you under pressure
You might be nice just know we fresher
We got the treasure
Hidden for now we going major
I Had a dream like Martin Luther
I have a dream like Malcolm X his style better
This is just life when you Made In America
Made In America, Made In America
Poverty in the streets, but the rich will get ya
But the rich will get ya, but the rich will get ya
This is just life when you Made In America
Made In America, Made In America
Man you not gang banging, go look in the mirror
Go look in the mirror, go look in the mirror
This is just life when you Made In America
Made In America, Made In America
We all going crazy, it's shades of hysteria
Shades of hysteria, shades of hysteria
This is just life when you Made In America
Made In America, Made In America
Poverty in the streets, but the rich will get ya
Go look in the mirror, shades of hysteria
