I ain't trippin' on no Star Spangled Banner
Land of the brave kids come strapped with the hammers
Hate our skin but they still tryna get tanner
And the rich built their shit being, uh
Love and hate, how you play with our fate
The little dreams that you bait
Leadin' us up to your gates
The world's most perfect of states
Built on deception and hate
Ink in my skin but didn't know it had weight
Pledge loyalty, judge told me save the date
America first but shit seem real second rate
Open minded never tryna debate
Ain't no sides when you f**k with our fates
Taking life from Mozambique to Kuwait
God's the only one to which we await
Leave the life that I know behind
Pushing past the boundaries defined
Life should be the things we outline
Yet this shit got us all confined
Wait till we, wait till we
Leave the life that I know behind
Pushing past the boundaries defined
Life should be the things we outline
Wait till we, wait till we
Wait, wait, wait, wait
Sold by chiefs to kings and queens, said to give 'em their crowns
Scared to teach their kids to swim cause half their ancestors drowned
Did the natives all the same now they ain't to be found
Searched in Africa for jewels to fill your ugly lil' crowns
Moved west hoping for gold the second time you came round
Came through same shit to pillage town after town
Took the land but ain't content still tryna beat down
On my brethren
Manifestin' all seven deadly sins
The dead piling up, doctors can't find no next of kin
Continent after continent, hundred years later, y'all still stuck on my bedouins
Only proved your love for breaking and entering
In business that ain't yours, y'all real trained in meddling
Places that ain't stable be your favorite to fester in
Pointing out peoples' problems made y'all real versed in lecturing
Suddenly there's no more remembering
Cause when you f**k up you get real good at censoring
Leave the life that I know behind
Pushing past the boundaries defined
Life should be the things we outline
Yet this shit got us all confined
Wait till we, wait till we
Leave the life that I know behind
Pushing past the boundaries defined
Life should be the things we outline
Wait till we, wait till we
Wait, wait, wait, wait
Rubber bands round shirts, The dye is rolled
You can't control
How pigs patrol
I know it hurts
But this is chance
Could still advance
Still do the dance
Just to avert
One day assert
Our position
Big Apple visions bring our dreams to fruition
But y'all ain't ready for admission
Of guilt and attrition
We made it the mission
Can't wait to see your face when you decide to just listen
Won't forget it it'll be the same day Jesus has risen
Leave the, leave the, leave the...know behind
Pushing past the boundaries defined
Life should be the things we outline
Yet this shit got us all confined
Wait till we, wait till we
Leave the life that I know behind
Pushing past the boundaries defined
Life should be the things we outline
Wait till we, wait till we
Wait, wait, wait, wait
