Royce da 5'9" - America Lyrics




I said America, the beautiful
Land of free, home of brave
Everyone is born and raised to think like a dead man
When you alive you the lowest on the totem
Pole, and soon as you die, then here goes this
Oh, now he heroic, oh, now he the coldest
Oh, now it's "He had that talent and I didn't know it!"
Man listen, being humble ain't gon' get you out your grave
You should treat your life the same way you thinking like and go and whip it like a slave

What the f*ck is "arrogant?"
That's the shit they injecting into us Americans
How 'bout I think I was put here to push European whips?
And so what if you don't like it? I thought you'd be inspired
By the way I whip it, way I whip it
Way I whip it, way I whip it, I whip it
Right past the pretenders, the men with no passion
Who think it's possible to be past your potential like life has just ended
The spirit broken and so is the wife, the kids
Born into only knowing the White Castle menu
While the rich is born into white castles
Attending Bar Mitzvahs, the future of us niggas is in syringes
We meant for the NFL, injure the NBA anyway
I take popping shots at niggas over receiving posthumous props from niggas any day
Maybe y'all just scared, lost in everybody saying not to floss
So you go watch the 'Walking Dead'

Yeah, you in the.America the beautiful
Land of free, home of brave
Everyone is born and raised to think like a dead man
When you alive you the lowest on the totem pole
And soon as you die then here goes this
Oh, now he heroic, oh, now he the coldest
Oh, now it's, "He had that talent and I didn't know it!"
Man listen, being humble ain't gon' get you out your grave
You should treat your life the same way you thinking like and go and whip it like a slave

What the f*ck does humble mean?
Call me good at something, I'll say I'm good at a bunch of things
I feel my whole life, my fire should be lit
I feel my wife is pussy whipped, each time she sees my dick she gets excited by
The way I whip it, way I whip it
Way I whip it, she likes the way I whip it, I whip it
Man look here, I've been anti-corporate
Since Daddy told me that they forced me here against my will without no horses
Or some land, of course they saying I'm supposed to just forget they throw the scraps
At those that can distract with those endorsements closing doors
On all of those who buy the clothes and shoes and booze and albums
Hope you not expecting treatment by the book from he who wants you to
Forget that you was brought over here by the boat
I don't know why niggas say they money funny when it's low
'Cause when you broke it's not a joke, talk that we can't take shit with us
When we die shit, you don't leave behind shit cause you died without shit

In America the beautiful
Land of free, home of brave
Everyone is born and raised to think like a dead man
When you alive you the lowest on the totem pole
And soon as you die then here goes this
Oh, now he heroic, oh, now he the coldest
Oh, now it's "he had that talent and I didn't know it"
Man listen, being humble ain't gon' get you out your grave
You should treat your life the same way you thinking like and go and whip it like a slave

If he's hot, expose him, then, roll on him
We can't roll on him, roll on his closest kin
That kind of behavior, I call that "Niggerdom", nigga dumb
Mentally enslave 'em, taze them, then they go crazy, uh, here they come
Everybody think a revolution coming, wanna be involved in the riot
Everybody arguing out here, this how I feel, "What in the Jiminy cracker
Corner f*ck are we bickering for?" This shit here is bigger than war
They sticking and sicken the shit in the food that the nigga consume so it's hidden in stores
Some shit that can kill your fertility, damage your thinking, limit your abilities think about that
Now the fact that y'all living is crazy 'cause alcoholism got black people tapping out quicker than Savion Glover
And we ain't no Avión lovers, we dying each time that the Hennessy pours
Our plugs are the mothers on the other side of our umbilical cords
Can I talk my shit? Y'all niggas confidence dropping
Y'all letting people control y'all flow who don't know how y'all clocks tick
I'm disgusted, find the money if the money don't fit
Do like me on this and find a different pocket
Only in America

Oh damn, I guess you is kinda talented
Make sure you don't forget where you came from, boy
Always stay humble
Now why don't you do that thing again with your tongue
You know that one thing when you go and whip it...
(*Whip cracking sound*)
