K-Rino - American Heroes lyrics
[K-Rino - American Heroes lyrics]
I'm gonna be your substitute History
Teacher for the day
Right about now I want y'all to
Sit down and shut up
'Cause, I'm about to give y'all
Some real history lesson aye boy
Didn't I tell you to sit down and shut up
Alright don't make me say it no more, listen
Way back when I was a little boy
They told me about a man
Who had traveled on a ship to
A far away western land
Gave him credit for discoverin' it
Tough it was inhabited
And quickly changed the narrative
Said the natives were savages
They ravaged it and murdered the
People in high numbers
His name was Cristóbal Colón but
You called him Columbus
A sick murderous bastard who
Beat babies to death
But, you celebrate his holiday
Every October 12th
Now let's move to George Washington
The decorated general
A dirty individual, his actions were criminal
Despite his wicked ways
He's elevated and praised
Mister Cannot Tell-a-Lie
Only leads 300 slaves understand chief
Washington's wickedness ran deep
Yeah, the father of this country's
A killer and land thief
Control, power and war
Only things he ever loved
But history makes him out to
Be something he never was
American heroes, American heroes
Everything we think we know about
Them needs to be rewrote
Got racists on your tens and your
Twenties and on your C notes
But somehow these the ones that
We seein' everywhere we go
Abraham Lincoln was a good old man
He jumped out the window with
His nah I'm just playin'
His favoritism for slavery
Was self documented
Didn't want to stop or end it
There was too much profit in it
See, Honest Abe used to mock
Crack jokes and admonish slaved
He only let 'em go for
The Union he wanted saved
Pull out a hundred dollar bill
Homie and look at Ben
Then study him and see he was
One of those crooked men
All of the faces that they
Exalted to greatness is fakeness
Did you know Thomas Jefferson was a rapist
Go and try to defend him
Straight savage within him
Hated the black man but he
Loves smashin' his women sally Hemings
You'll probably trick a few but not me
Guess I got to go in
Detail on Francis Scott Key
If you heard the third verse
Of that racist national anthem
Then whether black, white or brown
Nobody should be standing
American heroes, American heroes
Everything we think we know about
Them needs to be rewrote
Got racists on your tens and your
Twenties and on your C notes
But somehow these the ones that
We seein' everywhere we go
There's no doubt
United States time has been out
I'm 'bout to call these men out
Get your pad and pen out
All the great Americans that you
Holdin' in high acclaim
I'ma tell you 'bout a few of 'em
And call them by their names
These men are not worthy of praise
You've been forsaken
You won't find a more racist
President than Ronald Reagan
Invasion after invasion, innocent lives taken
And countless racial epithets and
Off the record statements
Henry Kissinger backed by the government
He was worse he was down to kill two or
Three billion across the Earth
Poor people in third world countries
Would get it first
All that's needed to find truth
Is work and research
Margaret Sanger, the human clothes hanger
A evil lady
Created Planned Parenthood to wipe
Out black babies
No time to call them all so go
Look 'em up if you have to
The Rockefeller's
Rothschild's and both them Bush bastards
American heroes, American heroes
Everything we think we know about
Them needs to be rewrote
Got racists on your tens and your
Twenties and on your C notes
But somehow these the ones that
We seein' everywhere we go
So, Tommy, how was school today?
Daddy, I don't wanna go
To that school anymore
What do you mean, son?
The teacher was saying some
Some saying some things, daddy
Things like what?
Well he was talking real mean
About Christopher Columbus and
George Washington, it was
I never heard anything like that before, dad
Haha, yeah that's right
If you'd taught him the
Truth I wouldn't have to do all that
I'm bustin' all them lies up
What are you doing in my house?
Don't worry about all that, I know one thing
He better have his little ass
Back in school tomorrow
'cause I got some more for 'em
I'm calling the police, shut up!
