Red Caps

I ain't got a dang thing for them ones in red caps
The slogan on that hat won't my president who said that
It won't my president who said that
And I ain't got a dang thing for them red caps
That man put this country in a jam don't them spread that
Don't let him spread that

Welcome to America where nobody's American
Where people want to be different but still seeking comparison
A place where if you different they laugh, like it's embarrassing
So people hide their diversity, & seek comparison
America
Praised by Red-necks, that drive diesel
Where Marlboro's allowed, but cannabis illegal
And even when tobacco's known to be lethal
The government still sells that shit to the people
So deceitful
America
Where text-books don't tell the whole story
Where T.J. & G-Dub, get every bit of glory
Let me ask ya
You ever heard of Sally Hemings
Oh my bad they want the world to think that was a love story
In America
Where niggas jump you just for your shoes
Your Jumpmans or your jewels
I'mma let you choose
Because in the end, both of us gone lose
With one in urgent care, & the others got wrong sized shoes
A lose loose situation
Satan works in this nation
Don't be fooled if everything seems cool cause he on vacation
A land that's full of all but opportunity
Where community unity only present with eulogies or when I walk through white neighborhoods with Skittles & Arizona Tea
Neighborhood watch & the cops, watch & wait to pursue me
Run up on me, claim that they see a gun & then subdue me
And based on what they do today
They'll put a bullet through me

I ain't got a dang thing for them ones in red caps
The slogan on that hat won't my president who said that
It won't my president who said that
And I ain't got a dang thing for them red caps
That man put this country in a jam don't them spread that
Don't let him spread that

See America depends on what you seeing through your retina
Depend on how you look it ain't too hard to see they set you up
I've never dreamt of the American Dream
Cause in reality it ain't what it seems
A house inside the suburbs with the family
I know you know the theme, but that ain't so if you don't have any creme, you know what I mean
Why my brothers gotta be the fallen ones at murder scenes
Why it take this long for CNN to air this on my screen
Yo
Charlottesville, Virginia just two hours from me
Saw what they did to Deandre & man that shit so sour to me
We people too but ain't no power to me
To be honest being American ain't something that I'm proud to be
We trying to make it off that hourly
Under a president who if you ask me
A straight coward to me
Red Caps with the slogan spoken by a broken man who never truly gave a damn & who don't understand
That people dying as he sitting in D.C
All I see is white supremacy on the T.V
Just walk outside if you want to see in 3D
I'm asking myself why they hate me I'm just being me
And what we got
Just a couple shows on B.E.T
Switch the letters around they still want us on E.B.T
Give us diagnosis claiming that our kids can't focus
We don't notice they need more time so we just fall for A.D.H.D
Adderall & Ritalin, another way they nickeling
Diming, white man thriving off adrenaline
All for the love of Mr. Benjamin
That man Donald Trump ain't my president I'm sick of him
We know this man don't care about my brothers rocking dreads
We know this man got ties with white hoods on they heads
We know them white hoods be disguised as the Feds
And it's a shame if I get stopped, I got to pray I won't be dead
And with all that being said
This ain't just for all the blacks
This for everyone who don't agree on how he act
This for all the ones who know the truth & want
Change for the better sick and tired cuz we know he know the facts
Colin Kapernick don't worry bro I got your back
Marshawn Lynch hold your seat just where you at
This is for Philando, Trayvon, Tamir & all other the ones they tryin to write up as a stat

I ain't got a dang thing for them ones in red caps
The slogan on that hat won't my president who said that
It won't my president who said that
And I ain't got a dang thing for them red caps
That man put this country in a jam don't them spread that
Don't let him spread that

You know I can't let this joint get away
You know it, the best time is now
Aint no such thing as the right time
The right time is all the time
You look at you
You look at me
And you realize that we a lot more the same than we are different
But the stuff that's different
Accept it
Love it
