Nothings better than a baby's laugh
Nothings better than the days we laugh
I put this on wax like Daniel
Knowing there's much to learn
But still, the opposite of Congress is progress sir
What if I told you the same system built on oppression
Works against you the same way it works against my complexion
Don't let them trick you in to thinking your votes irrelevant
I know you're looking for answers and someone eloquent
Amazing the opposite's why he's president
And they still won't arrest Breonna Taylor's murderers yet
We're supposed to keep the peace
And even when you keep the piece it don't protect you from police
I'm a citizen too I'm african first
I mean that's why they see me and just assume the worst
The American dream was never meant for us
The system ain't broken it's working perfectly

We need reparations
I'm saying everything we came for
We need vote
Not lose hope
You have the power
Fight for your right

Dear Amerikkka
I guess I don't represent the land of the free
And your vision of what it means to shine from sea to sea
Dear Amerikkka
I wish you could understand or know what it feels like to be me
To be valuable only dribbling a basketball or singing on a beat
Dear Amerikkka
I built you I loved you I fought for what you wouldn't give me, my freedom, my dignity, my worth as a human being
You said we were all created equal except when it came to me
Dear Amerikkka
I am tired of being tired
I have tried to practice non violence
Yet you have been everything but
Dear Amerikkka
I am not your negro
This not sweet
You can change your name from uncle Ben's to Ben's original you are still racist to me
Dear Amerikkka
Dear Amerikkka
Dear Amerikkka
You have shown your true colors time and time again and they are everything but what is supposed to be represented by that red white and blue
