"John Adams said the two party system
Is the greatest political evil under our Constitution
George Washington cautioned
In his farewell address
Against excessive political party spirits and geographical distinction
Wise words
They tell us what to do about it?
They did not
They just said it
And they died
And now they left us to figure it out"

America
I aint tryna bury ya
I'm tryna make ya better bruh
Yo for real
What's the deal?
Ain't nothin be scarier
Than growin up bein black up in America
America
I aint tryna bury ya
I'm tryna make ya better bruh
Yo for real
What's the deal?
Ain't nothin be scarier
Than growin up
Between us and them in America

I love this country you know
Like I really do
(Bein a woman in America)
And I love who we can be
You know
I love the ideals that we set for ourselves
With liberty and justice
For all people
(Bein Latinx in America)
You know all it's citizens
I feel like that's just something that we should just keep striving to
(Bein Queer in America)
You know and if we ever reach those ideals as a country
Then I really feel like we'd be the greatest nation on Earth
(Bein Asian in America)
By far

Have you ever been called out your name right to your face?
Have you ever been made to feel like you out of place?
I feel like lately I be just tryin to numb the pain
I do whatever it takes to keep from goin insane
Land of the Free
Where you free to feel discrimination
Some people feel like a prisoner
In they own damn nation
Guess it's their damnation
I can't see the light
That keeps me up at night
Every nights a late night

America
I aint tryna bury ya
I'm tryna make ya better bruh
Yo for real
What's the deal?
Ain't nothin be scarier
Than growin up bein black up in America
America
I aint tryna bury ya
I'm tryna make ya better bruh
Yo for real
What's the deal?
Ain't nothin be scarier
Than growin up
Between us and them in America

I mean it's like
You turn on the news today
And its absolutely heartbreaking
(Being Muslim in America)
Like whoa wait we're taking rights away now?
Like it's getting pretty fucking crazy
(Being Trans in America)
I just don't know what to do at this point
And its like we have to be better than this
(Native American in America)
I know we can be way better than this
So I think now is the time to act
(Being Homeless here in America)

I got expensive habits
I find it kinda tragic
It's all consumerism
If I want it gotta have it
And then like poof like magic
I'm supposed to feel ok
If I can't feel
I can't feel my sorrows everyday
Just numb it all away
I'll pop a gummy
Till I turn on Fox news and find that shit kinda funny
Cuz it all comes down to money
They don't care about the people
Every year there's a shooting
And boy they love shooting sequels

America
I aint tryna bury ya
I'm tryna make ya better bruh
Yo for real
What's the deal?
Ain't nothin be scarier
Than growin up bein black up in America
America
I aint tryna bury ya
I'm tryna make ya better bruh
Yo for real
What's the deal?
Ain't nothin be scarier
Than growin up
Between us and them in America

"Wise words

And now they left us to figure it out"

"It's called the American dream
Because you have to be asleep
To believe it"

"Being called a visionary is a compliment
But that means seeing the faults in reality
And its tough to keep a positive mentality
What if you slip, fall into pessimism
There's too many problems, and not enough solutions?
All of the sudden, you're giving into illusions
A dreamer or escape artist
The ones who wander in their minds
Risk losing touch with mankind
We all indulge in escapism in a way
We party, dive into work, travel, pray
Constant stimulation to avoid the quiet relax
Because without another arms, it can feel like it lacks
But there's some things you can't run from in your head
You gotta use your legs
You gotta use your legs"
