Downfall of America.
Now once upon a time in a city that's divine but divided in the night time
I can see the crime, I can see the pain, I can see the tears
I can see the rain, I can see men coming back to do the same shit again
Either I seen it or I lived it
No in between ain't no sense in lying to you when we lying in the seams it seems
I'm on a mission for this lion to be king I dream
Of hieroglyphics with my vision painted clearly can you hear me?
I speak up for everything I'm holding dearly
Like my family, friends, lovers, the Father, Son, Holy Spirit
I know you hear me as I vent nigga
How bout you help my parents out with this rent nigga
And should I sin again I ask you to forgive me for it all
Cause I know I'll never stop I'm like an addict in withdrawals
The rise and fall of a man
Now understand that there's nothing like a man only word within his hands the truth
Everything was going fine until they opened they eyes and still they blame it on the youth (What?)
I ain't no Jordan or LeBron but I think I'm bound to shine as the greatest in the booth (What?)
I know some niggas only lie cause what they plant inside your eyes appears better than the truth (What?)
And still they blame it on the youth (What?)
The downfall of America
The downfall of America
The downfall of America
Though my eyes been shut
Legs wide open while my hands tied up in America
Land of the free the home of the arrogant
They want a black man slaved
Instead of working and paid
It's like the relish in the struggles of my black brothers
And sisters they just wanna get that cat from you
To my mothers alone, who always all on the phone
Dealing with issues unknown to the kids until they grown
I salute you I know, times is getting hard
You holding tight upon your youngest as you pray to God
I hope he listens
I seen you cry for your baby daddy you miss him
Shot by the cops he was a victim to the system
Told the judge he was crippin' but really he was Christian
But let us tell you to fix it then we got bigger issues
They tell us pray more
Got me thinking we ain't even got the same God
Dear Lord I been drinking everyday more-liquor in my body than praise what can I say God
I been living in this downfall
The one you created to be the greatest do I stand wrong
Hand off 1 yard line we went the wrong way
Better than Seattle at least we ain't do the wrong play
Tell me God
How can I pray to you everyday when you constantly hesitating my faith in you should I break from you
The devil got some nice ideas what can I say I mean at least he ain't gone take our kids
See now my faith lies here
(Downfall of America)
(Downfall of America)
(Downfall of America)
(Downfall of America)
(Downfall of America)
