America's Heartlands Lyrics

Blood's laced with USA's mistakes, mother ain't okay

Tryna escape this racist age while Reagan's on the chase

Sacrifice is made on black lives for the paper

Then the crackers lie with no apple pie on their faces

I think I realized what the heartland is

Fucking Kansas

This land simply wasn't planned for a man like me

Watch how the police so anti-peace

Strangers in my face thinking they know me

'Cause what they seen on TV, they think they know my rap

Memes on Instagram think they know how I'm black

People try predicting how the token's gonna act

I see it pretty different from the hope I used to have

Hard to even try to live without them holding on to masks

Folks act like they finished with the rap shit

When they never even started listening to rap

They only know the market's image of the game, I can't relate

To me it's art in all sizes and shapes

I used to think the USA was mostly like New York and LA

With Trump supporters but support for every race

Then I realized what the heartland is

Fucking Kansas, center of the map

The farther from the middle, the more democrats

But you can only go so far until the coasts stop your tracks

'Cause America is haunted by the ghost of it's past

And Gen Z's the first wave to hold us to the facts

But even most of them ain't black, so... fuck

Even tryna make woke a term is pretty tough

So I barely have the words to describe my struggle

Hope you understand why feminism's in trouble

Isolated man but I like the skin I have

I hear you say we're seen the same but that is not a fact

We got people tall as basketballs and small as giraffes

We got old and young, we got skinny, we got fat

We got red and we got blue, bitch of course there's white and black
