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 Dear Amerikkka
