God Bless America

Yo, it's taking a lot for me to give y'all all of me

For y'all to take it and run with it

And turn it into some shit that it's not

Yo, exceeded my expectations a while ago

They wondering why Dizzy the one that's always smiling for

I listen a lot and look at everything I done accomplished, mane

Still, my baby girl and son is the main thing that I value most

Family, fuck a xanny, I'm puffing on this flower though

You piece of shit, no thang, we keep it lit

No hard feelings, don't ever change, don't ever quit

When I found out living legends still exist, I knew I had to commit

So I heard that this new generation was waiting on me

After The Golden Age, these old heads been praying for me

To get involved, maybe vent to y'all, and make an impact

Better plant a seed and water that bitch and watch it grow

Now how many times I gotta say it? I been down and out

But you only get so many chances till you're fouling out

And I'm like, "Let me live without taking no breaths"

My mind is focused on which task I'm finna take on next, uh

I think back when I just hung with my dawgs

My mama could never keep a man 'cause we was running him off

Needed a father figure but I don't like how he coming across

He end up gone, she was sad but I felt like that's his loss

I told her, "Never bend your head, look the world straight in the eyes"

"You deserve love, but a queen don't need a king to survive"

And it's a blessing to be able to rap and not feed y'all lies

Or fake my happiness like everything's just fine

I mean, we all human beings but we not alike

'Cause the loudest on the Internet get to sleep through a quiet night

It's a big difference and it's teaching me a lot about who we are, how like

Money don't change people, it just bring out who they truly are

Man, I done seen the most from coast to coast

They got us crossing over the border line

I don't got all the answers but we need to be more organized

So here's a little enlightening for your peace of mind

Everything you need in this life you live will come at the perfect time

So God bless America

In God we trust

Born in royalty, they can't take that from us

No matter what, runs through our blood

We have the power, we just lack the trust (trust!)

Just have your faith and believe

Keep calm, my young kings and queens

Watch and you'll see, and when that day comes

May God bless America

Uh, follow me, follow me through the hardships

Pardon my need to be swift with how I start this speech

Who you more like? Malcolm or Martin?

The game that they play with us, brother, don't have no cartridge

Button mashers, disaster casters, they ass backwards

I might slave for a meal but you ain't my master

Running through the field, all I hear is laughter

'Cause them chains that kept us here can no longer capture

The heart of my folk, foot on my the throat of my oppressor

For all of them ropes, they tied a tree for my ancestors

If limbs could talk, they'd cry for days

Sad, they gave all they had but couldn't break under pressure

Blood on the leaves, Glock on the dresser

Them laws plotting, protect and serve but I know better

The news a lie, to you and I, TV ain't real

So don't you try, to be like none of them Housewives

Selling us fools' gold

Tell a son to slang dope and daughter twerk when they get old

Damn shame, how we find time to sit around

Smoking and dranking, while they corporate banking

Don't be content with the hood, nigga, what is you thinking?

I got a small violin if you don't vote for complaining

About the government, stand up on some brother shit

And stop being on some other shit, God bless America

Despite all the barriers

If you do whatever you do every day

You can get it

I did it

From the poorest, they said I gotta push for all my dreams and they flourished

Then a forest full of obstacles, I got the dope 'cause I'm morest

Don't ignore it, that I built this vocab without a thesaurus

When the war is pressing, they be asking me questions like Katie Couric

Like, "Did you sell dope when you fell broke?"

Tryna stop a male's hope who never dropped the jail soap

Made it up out of Hell's scope, they ask, can I spell "vote"?

I'm feeling like they tryna tell jokes, Chappelle wrote

I'm a U.S. citizen escaping the penitentiary they hid us in

The kid has been fitted to quit and then spit it and shit again

But I became noble and well-rounded like an oval

Never will I be grounded for disposal

Everybody be astounded by the mogul, Tech N9ne!

No more saying, "I can't afford this"

Even when I was down, my plan was to never abort this

Don't forget, they said I sold my soul, that's horse shit

'Cause I simply thought my way onto the Forbes List

So God bless America

In God we trust

Born in royalty, they can't take that from us

No matter what, runs through our blood

We have the power, we just lack the trust (trust!)

Just have your faith and believe

Keep calm, my young kings and queens

Watch and you'll see, and when that day comes

May God bless America
