Good Morning America can you hear my voice
It′s your unwanted child that didn't have a choice
Of coming to America like Prince Akeem
You stole me to live Your American dream
Using my skills my blood and my tears
To build this great nation and now it's crystal clear
That even with 13th you just don′t care
My American dream has been a living nightmare
For four hundred years in the land of the free
No justice for all when it comes to me
Go back to Africa You say it so boldly
But you raped my motherland and over here you sold me
Erased my history and gave me religion
Made strange fruit from your motherless children
For not agreeing with your plan for me
But your vision of America I just can′t see

America the Beautiful
America the Great
No Unity No United States
America the Beautiful
America the ugly
America has shown
America don't love me

Now the declaration states we're created equal
But neglect and abuse is what you′ve shown your people
You've taken everything including my name
But Human rights are non-negotiable Simple and plain
If the truth is self-evident its time for a change
It′s long over due from the centuries of pain
Systematic racism played a part
The murder of George Floyd Ignited the spark
Of a smoldering fire Burning four hundred years
In the last few years I've seen too many of my peers
Killed for being black as you watch us die
You have no conscience Cause you just stand by
Not changing the laws or changing the system
Its murder if a cop kills an unarmed victim
Kap took a knee as a way to protest
But rebel flags still fly but you won't call that disrespect

America the Beautiful
America the Great
No Unity No United States
America the Beautiful
America the ugly
America has shown
America don′t love me

Now you love black culture but hate black people
The 14th amendment didn't make us equal
Just like the 13th didn′t make us free
Cause the melanin of my skin is all you ever see
Defined by my hue cause that's all you′re seeing
Take a deep look and see a human being
Intelligent and strong yet considered a beast
That why guns are always drawn when encountered by police
You hate my existence and feel no shame
The original sin has brought years of pain
The war didn't end in 1865
Cause that rebel mindset is still alive
With the doctors, lawyers and politicians
Corrupt police killing all these unarmed victims
Like Dontre Hamilton And Eric Garner
John Crawford And Laquan McDonald
We had Michael Brown Akai Gurley
Tamir Rice and I know it hurts the
Families of the people that you′ve taken away
Like Sandra Bland Trayvon and Freddie Gray
We had Ahmad and Breanna and Countless others
Am I not a Man Am I not a brother
We gotta peel back the scab Of this open wound
Cause when these riots take place It's a reflection of you

America the Beautiful
America the Great
No Unity No United States

America don't love me

America the Beautiful

No Unity No United States
America the Beautiful America the ugly
