Send "America" ringtone to your cell

Yeah it?s like wakin? up from a bad dream

(america)

Just to figure out you wasn?t dreamin? in the first place

If all i saw was gangsters comin? up as a youngster

Pussy and money the only language i clung ta

Claim ta i bought myself up to become one

Ain't ya happy i chose rap i'm amongst tha?

Streets deceivin? can't believe my achievements

Cultural strata persona's that of a non-needer

Because i don't need nada except for prada beaver

For cold winters tattoos got my summer's sleeveless

To my g's on the flee from the coppers

Stiff bodies on freeze in funeral parlors

From the slums i come up a phoenix caked up

Tryna take what i'm eatin? ?n? came up a dismissive kid

You lucky if you allowed to witness this savvy mouth

Wild? hardly a man's man who would?a knew

The beach houses and wild parties

Jezebel's and stella mccartney's

For years all that how can i not be dead?

This old german said i was a thug with a notty head

Looked at my benz and called that a nazi sled

With a face like he wonder where i got my bread

Probably all these stones he see

From my shows overseas

From crime to rhyme my stories is

I'm from the home of the thieves

America pay attention

(america)

Wake up this is not what you think it is

(america)

America pay attention

(america)

This is not what you think it is

Blessed the lord is a g he gotta be

Who's the god of suckers and snitches? the economy

Lipstick from marilyn monroe blew a death kiss to fidel castro

He?d want me to spit this

Only the strong survive nas bear witness

The hypocrisy is all i can see

White cop acquitted for murder black cop cop a plea

That type of shit make me stop and think

We in chronic need of a second look of the law books

And the whole race dichotomy

Too many rappers athletes and actors

But not enough niggas in nasa

Who give you the latest dances trends and fashion?

But when it comes to residuals they look past us

Woven into the fabric they can't stand us

Even in white tee's blue jeans and red bandannas

America pay attention

(america)

Wake up this is not what you think it is

(america)

America pay attention

(america)

This is not what you think it is

America

(america this is not what you think it is)

Assassinations diplomatic relations

Killed indigenous people built a new nation

Involuntary labor took a knife split a woman naval

Took her premature baby let her man see you rape her

If i could travel to the 1700's

I'd push a wheelbarrow full of dynamite through your covenant

Love to sit in on the senate and tell the whole government

Y'all don't treat women fair she read about herself in the bible

Believin? she the reason sin is here

You played her with an apron like ?bring me my dinner dear?

She the nigger here ain't we in the free world?

Death penalty in texas kill young boys and girls

Barbarity i'm in the double-r casually

Buggin? how i made it out the hood dazzle me

How far we really from third world savagery?

When the empire fall imagine how crazy that'll be

America

(america america)

America

(america this is not what you think it is)

America

(america this is not what you think it is)

America
