2 America
We - built - you up - America
We - built - you up - America
This my home all I know
But all you do is bury us
No - trust - in America
No- trust - in America
You know it's wrong just how long
Will this go on America
We - built - you up - America
We - built - you up - America
This my home all I know
But all you do is bury us
No - trust - in America
No- trust - in America
You know it's wrong just how long
Will this go on America
Land of the free wha you advertise
But we ain't never been the target audience
Look at how you treat us ain't it obvious?
Target on my back cause my skin black
Hurt your ego might be my last breathe
How many families wish they could get they kin back
They killing kids damn
Hit the corner store for some candy
And you telling me that threatening
Told em that I can't breathe but he kept pressing
These issues we keep pressing I hope you get the message
This go way back so deep
Up n arms cause we took a knee
You see it now they killing us they put it on ya tv screen
Can't you see murder in the streets
Brought us so much pain
Tryna justify my brothas gettin slain
I just wanna see change show me a sign
It take a knee on a brother neck till he dead
Just to get these signs in the streets tryna get this shit correct
My heart cold my heart cold
Red an blue lights in my rear view
Please don't let this be my last night
Stopped on the side of the road
I'm praying that the young flood the polls
No justice
We been fighting but this time I hope it's not just us
We - built - you up - America
We - built - you up - America
This my home all I know
But all you do is bury us
No - trust - in America
No- trust - in America
You know it's wrong just how long
Will this go on America
We - built - you up - America
We - built - you up - America
This my home all I know
But all you do is bury us
No - trust - in America
No- trust - in America
You know it's wrong just how long
Will this go on America
We - built - you up - America
This my home all I know
But all you do is bury us
No - trust - in America
No- trust - in America
You know it's wrong just how long
Will this go on America
We - built - you up - America
We - built - you up - America
This my home all I know
But all you do is bury us
No - trust - in America
No- trust - in America
You know it's wrong just how long
Will this go on America
