america

we love you

how many people are proud to be citizens of this beautiful country of ours

the stripes and the stars for the rights that men have died for to protect the women and men who have broke their necks for the freedom of speech the united states government has sworn to uphold

or so we're told. i never would've dreamed in a million years i'd see

so many motherfuckin' people who feel like me

who share the same views and the same exact beliefs. it's like a fuckin' army marchin' in back of me. so many lives i touched

so much anger aimed

in no particular direction

just sprays and sprays. and straight through your radio waves it plays and plays

'til it stays stuck in your head for days and days. who would've thought

standing in this mirror bleachin' my hair

with some peroxide reaching for a t-shirt to wear

that i would catapult to the forefront of rap like this?

how could i predict my words would have an impact like this?

i must've struck a chord

with somebody up in the office

cause congress keeps telling me i ain't causin' nothin' but problems

and now they're sayin' i'm in trouble with the government

i'm lovin' it

i shoveled shit all my life

and now i'm dumping it on

white america

i could be one of your kids

but shady's cute

shady's dimples would help

make ladies swoon

baby--ooh

i

but i could rap

when i was underground

no labels wanted to sign me
