[Hook] Stop! Put your hands where the sky at! Already down on that brown, so where the Skyy at? On this Crown, where am I at?! This is where we live, and it's where we gon die at. So, put your hands where we see 'em. Tell the other side that we're never gon be 'em. (Why?) 'Cause we too cot damn handsome. This is our nation, and this is the anthem! [Verse 1] In the field of the dreams deferred, a young, wingless bird Is finna fly, though it seems absurd. And the screams are heard, but he ain't scared: The right words ignite the spiked urge to fight, Despite nerves. The bite is quite worse than bark. This hype bird will squawk and outline in chalk The outlying thought that he was just gon rot Laid out in a plot; now it's time to hear him out: In the land preyed on by the bald eagle, I'm throwing these stones at the folks called "regal." Laws that are built to deceive you and make you think that you're equal, but loopholes keep slavery legal. So, listen to the notes of this caged bird singing: No longer in the tree, but the ropes still clinging. Hope's still swinging; its gon be a great fight, So with broken wings spread, I begin to take flight like, [Hook] [Verse 2] Imagine being given the vision to make it out of the system: To make a living without flipping them chickens, and then Poof. Shit just vanished Only way we're eating's if the clip gets brandished. Living in the land of the famished, where niggas kill for a sammich. The savages causing damage, the rest of us trying to manage. Do anything for the cabbage - too much pride to salvage. I'll be gon 'til November and I'm leaving all my baggage. Will I get killed before I live to be immortal? Climbing up the hill tryna make it through the portal. Sword'll be drawn; bloodlines in the street. Buried in the lawn fore I ever taste defeat. Reap what you sow. Speak what you know. Geeked for the dough. Keep with the flow. Six feet below and still finna blow. I am legend! Now let these niggas know like... [Hook] We're living in a world where you can murder a kid, Get bond for a burger without serving a bid. Still, the powdered wigs reign down on the nigs: Throw a life sentence just for shit's and gigs. So this is for the kids still living for the dream. Hand in a fist, make that motherfucker seen! Scream victory on the foes that you're facing, And tell the opposition, "This is our nation!" In the belly of the beast causing regurgitation. Running with the beats tryna rebirth the nation. For lack of occupation, we're occupying the system. Tell these motherfuckers we're sick of being the victim. Stick 'em where it hurts! Black, White, Other: Grab your man's hand and say, "that's my brother!" Sisters on the rise, look these cowards in the eyes. Hear the bombs burst while that new flag rise, Hol' up... [Hook]
