LAND OF THE FREE

Lyrics

Yeah
 You know sometimes I don't think they 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 is 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 just 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 for the 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 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 for the 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 for the 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
