Brother Ali - Uncle Sam Goddamn lyrics
[Brother Ali - Uncle Sam Goddamn lyrics]
Is Uncle Sam Goddamn it's a show tune
But the show ain't been written for it yet
We're gonna see if Tony Jerome and the band
Can maybe work this shit out for me
And straighten me out right quick
I like it so far man yeah
Come on, lets go
Welcome to the United Snakes
Land of the thief, home of the slave
Grand imperial guard where the dollar is
Sacred and power is God
Let's do this shit for real, come on now
Smoke and mirrors, stripes and stars
Stolen for the cross in the name of God
Bloodshed, genocide, rape and fraud
Writ into the pages of the law good lord
The Cold Continent latch key child
Ran away one day and started acting foul
King of where the wild
Things are daddy's proud
Because the Roman Empire done passed it down
Imported and tortured a work force
And never healed the wounds or
Shook the curse off
Now the grown up Goliath nation
Holding open auditions for the part of David
Can you feel it?
Nothing can save you you question the reign
You get rushed in and chained up
Fist raised but I must be insane
Because, I can't figure a single
Goddamn way to change it
Welcome to the United Snakes
Land of the thief, home of the slave
The grand imperial guard where
The dollar is sacred, and power is God
Welcome to the United Snakes
Land of the thief, home of the slave
The grand imperial guard where
The dollar is sacred, and power is God
All must bow to the fat and lazy
The fuck you, obey me
And why do they hate me? (Who me?)
Only two generations away
From the world's most
Despicable slavery trade
Pioneered so many ways to
Degrade a human being
That it can't be changed to this day
Legacy so ingrained in the way that we think
We no longer need chains to be slaves
Lord it's a shameful display
The overseers even got raped along the way
Because the children can't escape
From the pain
And they're born with poisonous
Hatred in their veins
Try and separate a man from his soul
You only strengthen him, and lose your own
But shoot that fucker if he
Walk near the throne
Remind him that this is my home, now I'm gone
Welcome to the United Snakes
Land of the thief, home of the slave
The grand imperial guard where
The dollar is sacred, and power is God
Welcome to the United Snakes
Land of the thief, home of the slave
The grand imperial guard where
The dollar is sacred, and power is God
Hold up, give me one right here hold on
You don't give money to the bums
On a corner with a sign
Bleeding from their gums
Talking about you don't support a crackhead?
What you think happens to the
Money from your taxes?
Shit the Government's an addict
With a billion dollar a week
Kill brown people habit
And even if you ain't on the front line
When massah yell crunch time
You right back at it
Plain look at how you hustling backwards
At the end of the year
Add up what they subtracted
Three outta twelve months your salary
Pays for that madness man, that's sadness
What's left? get a big ass plasma
To see where they made Dan
Rather point the damn camera
Only approved questions get answered
Now stand your ass up
For that national anthem
Welcome to the United Snakes
Land of the thief, home of the slave
The grand imperial guard where
The dollar is sacred, and power is God
Welcome to the United Snakes
Land of the thief, home of the slave
The grand imperial guard where
The dollar is sacred, and power is God
(You're so low) custom made (You're so low)
To consume the noose (You're so low)
Keep saying we're free (You're so low)
But we're all just loose (You're so low)
