Lecrae - Still In America lyrics
[Lecrae - Still In America lyrics]
Ladies and gentlemen, from the flight deck
This is your captain
We're experiencing some very rough
Air right now
I need everyone to please remain
Calm and take their seats
On our way down, we may hit some turbulence
Go ahead and brace yourselves for
A possible emergency landing
Welcome to America
You can be anything that you want in America
(Good)
Look, I'm still in America
(yeah) , beautiful, elegant, sinful
And arrogant (Woo)
It's plenty hysteria after they shot at
Them schools in that new cafeteria (Ooh ah)
Don't sneak in our area, 'cause
If you ain't patriotic
You might be a terrorist (Sheesh)
I know it's embarrassin', we
Say united we stand
But divisions are therapy (Let's go)
No GED, no EBT, just BBL
(I look good, though)
That CDC said quarantine, my PPP said
(I need my check) look at your race
What they gon' say? Stay in your place
(Huh, huh)
Made a mistake, open the case, open the gates
(Hmm, huh)
Yeah, go ahead and pray for that visa
See how America treat ya (Sheesh)
We keep our history shrouded in mystery
Can't let 'em know all our secrets
(Be quiet) men become ladies
Ladies want more than some babies
They wanna be treated like people
Land of the free
But the freedom ain't equal
We love our politics more than our people
(Wow) monday we evil, but Friday we good
Lu-Lululemon right there in your hood
If you in poverty, go win the lottery
Then we might treat you the
Way that we should (Might)
You could be anything
If you got money, so get it by any means
Hustle is muscle, and you lookin' weak
So you better go get you some creatine
Haha, get your weight up
Out here in America, man (In America)
Hello, I'm still in America
Where church is a Broadway
Production for relevance
We traded the Kingdom to build an
Empire, so people don't trust us
Apparently we worship economy
We'll kill our own babies
To keep our autonomy
You mess with our second amendment
We probably gon' riot
But take out the probably (Woo)
I'm still in America (Huh)
The coast where I live
We ain't speakin' much English
We do all the labor and do all the cleaning
But we don't get treated like equals
(Yo soy de aquí, aquí nací)
Some of us trust in the law and some don't
Some law enforcement will save you from evil
You call 'em and then again
Some of 'em won't (Woo)
Sometimes we cheaters to get our cheese up
And take your piece of the pie
Sometimes we Caesar
Sometimes we Jesus and we might get crucified
We preach civil rights, have a civil fight
(yeah) bLM might take your money
Buy expensive flights daddy sending kites
Mama full of sleepless nights
Basehead pipedream, left-wing, right-wing
Don't vote right, we're still on sight
(Still on sight)
Same gang, but we different colors
Forefathers, but none of us brothers
Some are born here, some are sworn here
Either live free, or kill each other
You can kill anyone that you want in America
This is your captain
We're experiencing some very rough
Air right now
I need everyone to please remain
Calm and take their seats
On our way down, we may hit some turbulence
Go ahead and brace yourselves for
