lirik lagu suburbants – merica
[verse 1]
my people are starving it’s war on the streets
forced to rob and k!ll out of necessity
freedom or death, they still got us mental chained
low education, poverty stricken making minimum wage
what’s it gonna take for us to open up our eyes
so many of our babies getting caught in drive byes
they profit off our style music and clothes
then portray my people as crooks and hoes
our leaders are dying out no one to carry the torch
erasing our history so the people will never know
america the land of the snakes and racist laws
forcing their religions on us and their white gods
homeless people right outside the white house
they eating lobster dinners while we living in the projects
that don’t make you mad remember katrina
how many lives could they have saved if they would have acted a little sooner
[hook]
america the land of the free when most of my people are living in poverty
the american dream is like a nightmare to me
i’ve lost too many lives and the streets
[verse 2]
they want me to believe in the american dream
when drugs and poverty are all that i’ve seen
steady sending food and supplies overseas
but what about our babies and our communities
mommy working two jobs to make ends meet
dad locked up so many kids out on the streets
they got money for jails but nothing for our schools
they know without an education we loose
but my people don’t care rolling blunts getting high
they sit and complain doing nothing with their lives
babies making babies strung out on drugs
steady crying out for attention and love
but we ignore them and lock them in cages
and wonder why there filled up with so much hatred
i feel sorry for the next generation the youth
they lack on education it ain’t cool to be a fool
[hook]
america the land of the free when most of my people are living in poverty
the american dream is like a nightmare to me
i’ve lost too many lives and the streets
[verse 3]
political demons claiming that they for us
how can they lead us when they don’t understand our struggle
they don’t know our pain or what it’s like to be black
born into poverty living from check to check
that’s why i don’t vote no more ‘cause i don’t see the point
when i try to speak my mind they try to silence my voice
martin malcolm so many lost their lives
the cost you pay when you stand for what’s right
huey garvey they’ll always live on
their blood runs in my veins i’ll die for the cause
we gotta pave the path for our babies to walk
so god willing their lives won’t have to be so hard
my sister my niece my nephew they my heart
i’ll give my life for them to make a better start
that’s what you supposed to do for your babies
but a lot of my people are very stagnant or lazy
[hook]
america the land of the free when most of my people are living in poverty
the american dream is like a nightmare to me
i’ve lost too many lives and the streets
