Downset - My American Prayer lyrics

rate me

Metzger! Farrahakan! Yup we got it going on. Race in the mix

and the melting pot's hot! Well, I don't know where you're at,

but I know where I've always been: Downset at the bottom with

my underclass freedom. The birth of this nation, birth of the

systematic jack, from land grab to whips across black's back.

No progress money means more humanity less, nothing done

changed in this land of soaked bloodshed. Liberty only to an

economic few, patriarchal tradition to economically gaffle you

fool. Racism? Guilty! Thievery? Guilty! Sexisme? Guilty!

Executed traditionally. Living in the shadow of five centuries

misery, homie blind forced in your game choked equality. Why

am I gonna be like that? Why must I pack that vocal gat,

because off the blood of humanity your pockets are getting

fat? This is America the hatefull! I'm gonna be down to live

this protest! I'm gonna be down to die this protest! America

better check itself before it wrecks itself, because differen-

ces seem to be bad for its health. Black! White! Yellow!

Brown! Christian and Muslim! Heterosexual! Homosexual! All

want to get some. Democrat! Republican! They putting that work

in, Aryan nation! 5% nation! Native American wants division.

Man's diversity is American's biggest enemy! Niggas! Woods!

And ese's stifled with apathy. Standing strong like a soldier,

struggling like a soldier, taking bullets of hatred watching

my soul get colder. Circumstances dance on interracial roman-

ce, separatist fist bomb on this love at first chance. America

taught me to hate you! America taught me to hate you! Taking

shot at the external even though I never knew you. Will you

fade and follow doubtless next in the death rate, or love

suffocate beneath this fashion of hate! I was taught to hate

you and you weer taught to hate me! Love sees no color, but

America always will. Humanity means nothing in this place

where we learn to kill. I don't believe in this hatred anymo-

re... Red, White and Blue is gonna kill you! I throw the brick

of my protest through the window of your inhumane corruption,

and watch the fragments of your greed shatter to the frigid

ground...and it's like that! Martin Luther King! Ruben Sale-

zar! Malcolm X! John F. Kenedy! Red, White and Blue is gonna

kill you!
