[Chorus: Jason Coffey] America I love you Even after everything you put my blood through Every descendant of a slave oughta cuss you Throw a middle finger up and say... America My love's true Even after everything you put my blood through Every descendant of a slave oughta cut you Pull out an AK and spray But that ain't love
[Verse 1: Deacon] And on this long road to perdition You might wanna use my navigation system My wisdom Shine light through this black prism My rhythm Let it guide you through baptism Word to Shirley Chisolm I'm truly tryna blaze trails Write back senders of the hate mail That keeps comin' Caged bird still singing Chain gang still drummin' 100 miles and we still runnin 400 years Gimme a pound of Bob Marley American flags strapped to the back of black Harleys And if we burn you down it's to begin anew Let's pull the sheet off of our history and bid adieu
[Chorus: Jason Coffey] America I love you Even after everything you put my blood through Every descendant of a slave oughta cuss you Throw a middle finger up and say America My love's true Even after everything you put my blood through Every descendant of a slave oughta cut you Pull out an AK and spray But that ain't love
[Verse 2: Natti] Banner in the sky The U.S is alive Everything before it absorb it or let it die Daughter of four fathers no momma to get it right Raised and became a beauty with something ugly inside Growing up abused with bruises of different hues Read white lies now our lady sings the blues Over C notes While we broke And see votes For people both villain and hero Competing stroking her ego That talk the talk come time to walk do absolutely zero Cheer us on the court but when it's foul we ge no free throw But we go hard off hope and for the love With All my heart still covered in blood
[Outro: Jason Coffey] Like A beauty from the heavens up above But hold her tight you 'bout to see close up Past smooth skin you'll find something so rough Can we keep her true? I don't know what to do And she don't either Red, white, blues Red, white, blues Red, white and blues

ResponderEliminarAmerica
I love you
Even after everything you put my blood through
Every descendant of a slave oughta cuss you
Throw a middle finger up and say...
America
My love's true
Even after everything you put my blood through
Every descendant of a slave oughta cut you
Pull out an AK and spray
But that ain't love
[Verse 1: Deacon]
And on this long road to perdition
You might wanna use my navigation system
My wisdom
Shine light through this black prism
My rhythm
Let it guide you through baptism
Word to Shirley Chisolm
I'm truly tryna blaze trails
Write back senders of the hate mail
That keeps comin'
Caged bird still singing
Chain gang still drummin'
100 miles and we still runnin
400 years
Gimme a pound of Bob Marley
American flags strapped to the back of black Harleys
And if we burn you down it's to begin anew
Let's pull the sheet off of our history and bid adieu
[Chorus: Jason Coffey]
America
I love you
Even after everything you put my blood through
Every descendant of a slave oughta cuss you
Throw a middle finger up and say
America
My love's true
Even after everything you put my blood through
Every descendant of a slave oughta cut you
Pull out an AK and spray
But that ain't love
[Verse 2: Natti]
Banner in the sky
The U.S is alive
Everything before it absorb it or let it die
Daughter of four fathers no momma to get it right
Raised and became a beauty with something ugly inside
Growing up abused with bruises of different hues
Read white lies now our lady sings the blues
Over C notes
While we broke
And see votes
For people both villain and hero
Competing stroking her ego
That talk the talk come time to walk do absolutely zero
Cheer us on the court but when it's foul we ge no free throw
But we go hard off hope and for the love
With All my heart still covered in blood
[Outro: Jason Coffey]
Like
A beauty from the heavens up above
But hold her tight you 'bout to see close up
Past smooth skin you'll find something so rough
Can we keep her true?
I don't know what to do
And she don't either
Red, white, blues
Red, white, blues
Red, white and blues
