Joey Bada$$ - LAND OF THE FREE lyrics

Yeah, you know sometimes I think
They don't truly understand me, you know
Cause they don't, yeah, uh

Can't change the world unless
We change ourselves
Die from the sicknesses if we
Don't seek the health
All eyes be my witness when
I speak what's felt
Full house on my hands, the cards I was dealt
Three K's, two A's in AmeriKKKa
I'm just a black spade spawned out the nebula
And everything I do or
Say today that's worthwhile
Will for sure inspire actions
In your first child i'll begin my verse now

Sometimes I speak and I feel
Like it ain't my words
Like I'm just a vessel


Channeling inside this universe
I feel my ancestors unrested inside of me
It's like they want me to shoot
My chance in changing society
But how do I go about it?
Tell me where I start?
My destiny rerouted when I
Chose to follow heart
You told to follow suit
But tell me what it do for you?
Except weigh you down
Now you trapped inside the cubicle
They built for us
The first step into change is to take notice
Realize the real games that they
Tried to show us
300 plus years of them cold shoulders
Yet 300 million of us still got no focus
Sorry America, but I will not be your soldier
Obama just wasn't enough
I need some more closure
And Donald Trump is not equipped
To take this country over
Let’s face facts 'cause we know
What’s the real motives

In the land of the free
It's full of free loaders
Leave us dead in the street
To be their organ donors
They disorganized my people
Made us all loners
Still got the last names of our slave owners
In the land of the free
It's full of free loaders
Leave us dead in the street
To be their organ donors
They disorganized my people, made
Us all loners, yeah

We can't change the world
Unless we change ourselves
Die from the sicknesses if we
Don't seek the health
All eyes be my witness when
I speak what's felt
Full house on my hands, the cards I was dealt
Three K's, two A's in AmeriKKKa
I'm just a black spade spawned out the nebula
And everything I do or
Say today is worthwhile
Will for sure inspire action, hold up, yeah
Uh

Trickery in the system
Put my niggas in prison
All our history hidden
Ain't no liberty given
We all fit the description of
What the documents written
We been lacking the vision and
Barely making a living
We too worried to fit in
While they been benefitin'
Every time you submittin'
We all guilty admit it
The Lord won't get you acquitted
But you still ask for forgiveness
Put opiates in syringes then
Inject his religion
How many times do I gotta tell you
I'm a man on a mission
Many times I gotta tell you
I don't need no permission
A human with super vision
Ain't no livin' condition
I'm reaching out to my children
Just hoping that they will listen
Start a new coalition
Against corrupt politicians
It's not enough pots to piss in
Too many murder convictions
Another family evicted
Another black man a victim
That's as real as it's getting
You should take recognition

In the land of the free
It's full of free loaders
Leave us dead in the street
To be their organ donors
They disorganized my people
Made us all loners
Still got the last name of our slave owners
In the land of the free
It's full of free loaders
Leave us dead in the street
To be their organ donors
They disorganized my people, made
Us all loners, yeah

We can't change the world
Unless we change ourselves
Die from the sicknesses if we
Don't seek the health
All eyes be my witness when
I speak what's felt
Full house on my hands, the cards I was dealt
Three K's, two A's in AmeriKKKa
I'm just a black spade spawned out the nebula
And everything I do or
Say today is worthwhile
Will for sure inspire action
In your first child, yeah
