Welcome to the Melting Pot! You are all now participants You shall be a rich king, and richer, more powerful kings shall be above you You shall now be a peasant, and peasants who are poorer and weaker than you shall be Beneath you For this is the AmeriKKKan Dream And in dreams anything can change But the rules of the game will forever be the same On my North American Drift The Land of Melting Pot and the Home of the Plot Twist The gifted and uplifted, downtrodden and graveyard shifted Security code encrypted, A1 steak sauce marinated briskets Season pass tickets and labels that say "Explicit" NAFTA, RICO, Watergate, Whitewater Red tape, white collar, blue collar, fluorodized water Is what I was drinkin down on the bayou Oh me oh my-o, we all wanna go viral Once upon a trend everybody wanted tribals Jesus had a zodiac and that's 12 disciples An astrologer wrote the bible Time plus space makes a spiral, and here I go I grew up on some crops from South America Vietnam war movies and Erykah Badu On K104, in 817 and 214 But I was from the 806 before that I grew up where the pump the black gold Yeah, olil that is, Texas tee...you know Halliburton and the Bush boys, blood money in the dirt That's where everybody that I went to school with works Rig it up and pick it up Get it while it's pumping If they ain't yelling money then they ain't yelling nothing The AmeriKKKan Way I wanna go to Disney World and Las Vegas Democracy and wages, bureaucracy and cages The AmeriKKKan Way I wanna be on magazine covers and front pages Aristocracy and races, hypocrisy and mazes That's how it was told to me so that's how I tell it you A legend or is it true Cocaine residue On a little piece of cotton with a picture of a half-forgotten president Who's the alien, who's the resident A long story of natives and invaders After while crocodile, later alligator Either one'll bite you, samurai sword slice you Five syllables here And seven syllables here Makes a good haiku Doesn't it, but that's some other shit This was 'posed to be about Hollywood and the government The dollar stores and the malls The rises and falls Bull market, bear market Margin calls, prison walls In a garden of variety, smorgasbord society Vitamins and vinyls and rifles and old rivalries But we keep living together and getting something If you ain't yelling out money, you ain't yelling nothin The AmeriKKKan Way I wanna go to Disney World and Las Vegas Democracy and wages, bureaucracy and cages The AmeriKKKan Way I wanna be on magazine covers and front pages Aristocracy and races, hypocrisy and mazes
