Bambu - America lyrics

I'm so tired of you America
I may just never see you
Again or might as well
You took advantage of a world
That loved you well i'm going to a town that
Has already been burned down
I'm so tired of you, America

I feel like packing my bags
My allegiance to American flags
Went away the Navy passed over my dad
And when that judge said "Young man
This is serious charge
I suggest you do the military
Thing" I was gone
Six years to a Corp that sent a boy into war
And the more I studied up I
Couldn't do it no more
So can't nobody tell me
Shit about my politics
I can bet that most you Tea Baggers
Never been through what I did
I lived through Kosovo and out
In Yemen we kick
Hella doors in civilian villages while in
Prison my boys will keep going
Neighborhood kept rolling
Got news of more pee wees I knew
Getting smoked and I spoke of being in it
To defend my country but my country
Kept taking all my homeboys from me so

I may just never see you
Again or might as well
You took advantage of a world
That loved you well i'm going to a town that
Has already been burned down
I'm so tired of you, America
I got a life to live

Now where was I, oh yeah
I would come home hearing all of this news
'Nother brother from high school
Having his body viewed
And slowly I knew no matter
How many men I salute
I can't even pay respect to all
The people in my hood
No matter how many I shoot
For God and country
The people who done raised me, remain hungry
Money money for school and
For moving combat unit's
Took precedence over any college unit
I'm foolish to think
That being a killer for good ol' Uncle Sam
Would translate to a pig treating me like man
But nah here I am, getting treated the same
"License and registration
What gang you claim?"
I claim the all powerful, USA
And we can shoot if they fit
A certain frame all the same the day came
Trying to get me to reenlist
Throwing money and shit man fuck that shit

I may just never see you
Again or might as well
You took advantage of a world
That loved you well i'm going to a town that
Has already been burned down
I'm so tired of you, America
I've got a life to live

Never really seem to want to
Tell the truth ​x2​
I'm so tired of you, America

So what to do now?
Fans hit me up on my Facebook
Talking 'bout they finna join
Cause they options look slim
But what I'm suppose to tell them?
If I ain't join the service
What my life would've been
Would I have been inside that car that
Took those bullets where Ren was?
Would I have been at the pool hall
When they shot that shit up?
Cause all I did was replace the
Gang with a bigger gang
Junior year of high school
Military recruiters came
But, I ain't never seen
A single college adviser
Never knew that grants and
Scholarships were provided
Never knew that I could've applied
For a life that didn't provide rifles
To take another man life but
I did it parts of me do regret it
America, gotta go you can keep the pension
​radio static​

"America, fuck yeah"

​radio static​

​Me No Speak Americano​

Funny accents to American ears
Money packed in the America fears
So money tapped in the American Airs
Got the news screaming
"Terrorists is everywhere" and it's apparent
Various legislation is making it impossible
To level off the nations basic dilemmas
So why let us outta favelas
Right into your prison got it
Let me cut the Philippine accent
Shorts and a t-shirt, Philippine fashion
Bottom of the education system, list 'em
From the very bottom is the children
Living in the 808 and the 504
Poor, so they signing up for war
Tour in the Afghan all they understand
Face down, let me see your hands sooo
Me don't speak Americano

Money get funneled right back tax
Cigarette packs gas
Ahh

Ayo cut that shit off man what the fuck?
