LAND OF THE FREE - Joey Bada$$

Yeah, you know sometimes I think

They don’t truly understand me, you know

Cause they don’t, yeah, uh

Can’t change the world unless we change ourselves

Die from the sicknesses if we don’t seek the health

All eyes be my witness when I speak what’s felt

Full house on my hands, the cards I was dealt

Three K’s, two A’s in AmeriKKKa

I’m just a black spade spawned out the nebula

And everything I do or say today that’s worthwhile

Will for sure inspire actions in your first child

I’ll begin my verse now

Sometimes I speak and I feel like it ain’t my words

Like I’m just a vessel channeling inside this universe

I feel my ancestors unrested inside of me

It’s like they want me to shoot my chance in changing society

But how do I go about it?

Tell me where I start?

My destiny rerouted when I chose to follow heart

You told to follow suit, but tell me what it do for you?

Except weigh you down, now you trapped inside the cubicle

They built for us

The first step into change is to take notice

Realize the real games that they tried to show us

300 plus years of them cold shoulders

Yet 300 million of us still got no focus

Sorry America, but I will not be your soldier

Obama just wasn’t enough, I need some more closure

And Donald Trump is not equipped to take this country over

Let’s face facts 'cause we know what’s the real motives

In the land of the free, it’s full of free loaders

Leave us dead in the street to be their organ donors

They disorganized my people, made us all loners

Still got the last names of our slave owners

In the land of the free, it’s full of free loaders

Leave us dead in the street to be their organ donors

They disorganized my people, made us all loners, yeah

We can’t change the world unless we change ourselves

Die from the sicknesses if we don’t seek the health

All eyes be my witness when I speak what’s felt

Full house on my hands, the cards I was dealt

Three K’s, two A’s in AmeriKKKa

I’m just a black spade spawned out the nebula

And everything I do or say today is worthwhile

Will for sure inspire action, hold up, yeah, uh

Trickery in the system, put my niggas in prison

All our history hidden, ain’t no liberty given

We all fit the description of what the documents written

We been lacking the vision and barely making a living

We too worried to fit in while they been benefitin'

Every time you submittin', we all guilty admit it

The Lord won’t get you acquitted, but you still ask for forgiveness

Put opiates in syringes then inject his religion

How many times do I gotta tell you I’m a man on a mission

Many times I gotta tell you I don’t need no permission

A human with super vision, ain’t no livin' condition

I’m reaching out to my children, just hoping that they will listen

Start a new coalition against corrupt politicians

It’s not enough pots to piss in, too many murder convictions

Another family evicted, another black man a victim

That’s as real as it’s getting, you should take recognition

In the land of the free, it’s full of free loaders

Leave us dead in the street to be their organ donors

They disorganized my people, made us all loners

Still got the last name of our slave owners

In the land of the free, it’s full of free loaders

Leave us dead in the street to be their organ donors

They disorganized my people, made us all loners, yeah

We can’t change the world unless we change ourselves

Die from the sicknesses if we don’t seek the health

All eyes be my witness when I speak what’s felt

Full house on my hands, the cards I was dealt

Three K’s, two A’s in AmeriKKKa
