AMERICA Lyrics

I wake up chasing money, go home and then go to sleep

Then dream about some things, some things I've never seen

Well I hope this shit's attainable

But if not

Then the clock is what I'm aiming for

Pull trigger, let that thing explode

I'm killing time

Fuck just getting by, motherfucker, I'm getting mine

I'm taking anything and everything, I know I'm owed

Cause I know I'm a lot more than just young, dumb, and broke

I mean this shit's no joke

But see lately I've been pondering

Working in astonishment

Thinking that there's gotta be some more to life

I've been working nine to five

Fuck that

Nine to nine

I put in overtime and shit ain't got me feeling right

See we sell our soul to corporations just to make a dollar

Forever chasing comma just to try to see tomorrow

It's America, welcome to America

America, yeah, welcome to America

What, what

I said America, yeah, welcome to America

I got a wallet full of dreams and a pocket full of hope

My car always be on E, I don't know if I'll make it home

I'm getting sick and tired of cooking ramen on the stove

Lately I've been thinking about upgrading it to dope

So I can see the other side of that poverty line

If I do that my fines might be on the decline

If I just move a little weight and put some food on my plate

But is it worth the toll my soul might take

See I don't know

So for now I'll just dance with these thoughts

As I debate with myself how much these dollars gon' cost

Is it the system that's been holding me back

Am I a victim of their plan of attack

It was the land of the free and home of the brave

Until they came and colonized and took that all away

Built off the back of genocide and the enslaved

Welcome to the U.S. of the motherfucking A

America, yeah, welcome to America

What, what

I said America yeah, welcome to America

America, yeah, welcome to America

What, what

I said America, yeah, welcome to America
