Lyrics:
the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam undimmed by human tears
America, America, God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
we bullied, stole and bought a homeland
We began the slaughter of the red man
But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands
buy America
This is my America
We're gettin' by in America
Best healthcare in the all world
Assuming that you can afford
Our president is very powerful
The amber waves gone brown
Drowned by the joining
Of what should be apart
The individuals stood tall
Separated stalks
To sway in the wind's whims
Black king stripped to a peasant queens raped in our face
Emasculated in front the nation kids snatch away
Sold like property, to being lynched by
You hear me
Turn my dog to a pack ain't no sheep in we
As if I'm DiCaprio I'm putting wolves in the street
America let em howl how how
America let em
three words say it all
Droppin' bucks, makin' dolla's
Small town man, down from the holla'
Middle finger to the world 'cause America's my daughter
We
Great nations bring to hearts
And precious is the freedom
Granted us by God
We love America
Our neighbors, friends and kin
We love America
Our patriots
black leader in America
I ain't trying to b a black leader (black leader)
To get bought by corporations and mislead the
Community, those you swore you

he came in and tossed his bags - & put his books on the table
he read a letter from an old girl
God Bless America
May G-d bless and preserve you forever
May your nation always stay together
And love and care for one another
In times
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through perilous fights.
What so proudly we hailed
disease
And American contact broken by contract
America teases with American Jesus
American fate is American made
God bless America, God bless us all
God
the government way
And drip by drip your freedom bleeds away
Wakeup America, wake up
We need a liberation day
A hurricane is building
A revolution's on the way
'em some prayers and sympathy
Dear mama, you helped me write this
By showing me to give is priceless
And any man who knows a thing knows
He
and sympathy
Dear mama, you helped me write this, by showing me to give is priceless
And any man who knows a thing knows, he knows not a damn, damn thing at all

ONE has to be careful about
Stories especially true ones
When a story is told the first time, it
the contradiction
Between America's reality and perhaps her
Selective vision of herself
Corruption just refers to fraudulent
Conduct by the powerful, which is
they're quick to pass him by
And the ones who drop a dollar, don't dare look him in the eye
Another Sunday morning, Sunday morning in America
Sunday
All aboard America here comes the freedom train
All aboard America here comes the freedom train
The freedom train is rolling down two hundred
challenged by tyrants challenged by tyrants
Who envy my power envy my power
But their vicious deeds ohhh
Become my finest hour
Because my name is America
I
portrait
Stayed
Stagnant for years
Stuck in muck and the mire
I faced my inner demons
Consequences that dire
Used to get picked on and bullied
By this name
I have prayed for America
I was made for America
It's in my blood and in my bones
By the dawn's early light
By all I know is right
We're going
