Merika (feat. Jamaal Marvel)
Tell your family that you love them, cause they all you got
Kiss them and hug them, cause you never know when it can stop
In an instant it can change and never be the same
So count your blessings, always let them know they on your brain
I got a daughter and she's headed to the fourth grade
Every day we gotta tell her not to be afraid
Honestly I never thought that I would see the day
Where a country that is free would actually be plagued
By bigotry and hatred mixed with mental health and anger
I'm trying to read the paper, see how someone helped a stranger
Or saved their neighbor from imminent danger
Switch up the narrative, that would be a game changer
Cause in the end we gotta answer to our lord and savior
So make amends and end every night with a solid prayer
Something happened to our youth, they playin truth or dare
The only way to make a change is if we truly care
America, America
What we need, what we really need is some healing
America, America
Ain't got time for this division
I said walk a righteous path and stay on the good side of karma
Ignite a passion deep inside that will erase the drama
Why am I humble? I say I get it from my mama
And my charisma, well that came from pops cause he's a charmer
I thought America was good when we had Obama
And we were destined for some peace once we killed Osama
Thought we was due for social order like we practiced Dharma
Instead we raid the capital wearing fur hats and armor
After that everything seemed misplaced
Kids dying from smoking weed cause this shit was laced
We're still controlled by greed and consumed by hate
Satan's in the room we just can't see his face
He hides in camera phones and social media
Where we put all the fake news on Wikipedia
Really don't know which is worse, this or a meteor
The red in our flag can't stop it from bleeding like hemophilia
America, America
What we need, what we really need is some healing
America, America
Ain't got time for this division
Say it with me, mecca lecca hi, mecca hiney ho
Paul Reubens jerked off in the theater and he sniffed some blow
My point is innocence don't last, we ain't got shit to show
For every soldier that has passed fighting
For a right just to get the dough
America the brave turned America the graveyard
For every young soul that is taken every day
So how we gon' fix it? We ain't got shit to say
Now welcome to reality like MVP and J Woww
Where mass shootings are happening like every single day now
What happened to the sun, all I'm seeing is these gray clouds
All I'm seeing is these gray clouds
Rain on me like Gaga, this is not the devil's playground
Wash away corruption cause it's taking us away now
There's been a slight malfunction and I want my kids to stay around
Not get caught in something where they never find their way out
Take me back in time with Golden Grahams and Pee-wee's Playhouse
America, America, what we need is some healing
America, America, ain't got time for this division
Kiss them and hug them, cause you never know when it can stop
In an instant it can change and never be the same
So count your blessings, always let them know they on your brain
