[Benny the Butcher - Welcome To The States lyrics]
Welcome to the States
Where we dyin' of our skin color and race
Ideologies formed of hate
Now the grocery stores ain't safe
They shoot us unarmed but they tooken
Payton in without a scrape i guess, great
The life save buttons, never this color face
Discriminate me even rich
But can't get a loan from a bank
This why everythin' you see here, I own
I spent the cake the TRS free but Gunna and
Thug's somеwhere behind thе gate
The chances we take when the
Penalisin' niggas for being great
Why they don't take us serious
With supremacists out shootin' brothers?
(What it has to do with color? All
Y'all do is shoot each other)
Well, true, but in the mall
While shoppin' for shoes, i still do wonder
(Damn) do this crazy white boy in his
Trench coat got a Ruger under?
Firearms legal when Republican state's in
You can't be mad at it
'Cause the suit's that vote on these
Laws don't deal with our challenges
So them laws get passed to
Protect themselves from savages
White nationalists turn they views and
Guns on Jews and Africans
Lately, I've been traveling abroad
As an entertainer and frankly
It made me look at my
Country a little bit stranger
Mass shooting in my city
Eight minutes from where my block at
Saw innocent people shot at a
Supermarket I shop at
Y'all using that to antagonize rappers?
I never got that
Before them CNN and Fox chats
Explain to me where was y'all at?
Guess this gon' make me a hypocrite
But considering I'm human and also
I know the difference is from
Street laws and innocents
They gon' act like they care and
End up just runnin' they mouth
And don't no money come out
Of them fake GoFundMe accounts
It's time we protect our women
'cause our mothers don't feel safe
Our sisters leaving work late
And I ain't supposed to have this Drac?
My man Frost lost his mama
Try to put yourself in his place
Hurtin' for him, how I'm gon' save my own
People without a cape?
So this where we gotta be strong
Help each other stayin' tall
I pass these SKs and saws
I told my dawgs that I be wrong but
(Fuck you, nigga)
Let me say a word about
Yesterday's mass shooting in Buffalo
New York i've been receiving
Updates from my team
At the White House that's in close contact
With the Justice Department we're
Still gathering the facts
But already the Justice Department
Has stated publicly that it is investigating
The matter as a hate crime
A racially motivated act of white
Supremacy and violent extremism as they do
We must all work together to address the
Hate that remains a stain on
The soul of America our hearts are heavy
Once again, but our resolve must never
Ever waver no one understands this more than
The people sitting in
Front of me, moms, dads
Children, family members
About how those folks in Buffalo feel
Today when they got the call
Where we dyin' of our skin color and race
Ideologies formed of hate
Now the grocery stores ain't safe
They shoot us unarmed but they tooken
Payton in without a scrape i guess, great
The life save buttons, never this color face
Discriminate me even rich
But can't get a loan from a bank
