"My American Prayer" lyrics

"My American Prayer"

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! sexism? 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!
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 differences seem to be bad for it's 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 romance
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
Love sees no color...

I don't believe in your hatred anymore...

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 Salazar!
Malcolm X!
John F. Kennedy!...
