"BEING AMERICAN"
(Intro)
Instrumental 4-8 Bars
(Hook/Chorus)
What-a-
What-a-
Shame!
How embarrass it is to be called American!
At the expense of a nation's blood, sweat, and tears
So you can live comfortably---
At our discomforts!
Extract our creativity
And leave us in poverty!
Kept yo' feet on our necks
To hold us back cause we black!
From BEING AMERICAN!
We just flat characters in another man's backstory!
(Verse 1)
It's always been about their comfort...
At the expense of our pain.
What-a-shame!
Now we facing hard realities...
That specific ones has profited!
It's never really been about racism
Bottom line the money game
Who gets to eat & who gets the profits!
Divide & Conquer!
All these racial childish antics, man---y'all need to stop it!
(Hook/Chorus)
What-a-
What-a-
Shame!
How embarrass it is to be called American!
At the expense of a nation's blood, sweat, and tears
So you can live comfortably---
At our discomforts!
Extract our creativity
And leave us in poverty!
Kept yo' feet on our necks
To hold us back cause we black!
From BEING AMERICAN!
We just flat characters in another man's backstory!
(Verse 2)
Pharrell Williams is more valuable than Louis Vuitton
Extract his energy to boost their profits beyond belief
It's ashame it takes centuries before they appreciate our creativity
But they need our creativity like they need us
Ignorance divides
But truths brings connectivity
Choose which one you're gonna operate in
You'll see that racism doesn't profit dividends
You may have the money & the title...
But you lack the creativity to win in the end!
(Hook/Chorus)
What-a-
What-a-
Shame!
How embarrass it is to be called American!
At the expense of a nation's blood, sweat, and tears
So you can live comfortably---
At our discomforts!
Extract our creativity
And leave us in poverty!
Kept yo' feet on our necks
To hold us back cause we black!
From BEING AMERICAN!
We just flat characters in another man's backstory!
(Verse 3)
Survive...Thrive...How High...High Low Can You Keep Us?
It was always about survival & that's why we were divided!
They pretend like we ain't good enough & lazy...
That's why we're not thriving!
Let's not forget all the feet they had on our necks---to keep us back all because we're black!
Or are we suppose to forget because the some privilege Hebrew Black Americans?
Who was given the right of passage to keep the enactments!
(Hook/Chorus)
What-a-
What-a-
Shame!
How embarrass it is to be called American!
At the expense of a nation's blood, sweat, and tears
So you can live comfortably---
At our discomforts!
Extract our creativity
And leave us in poverty!
Kept yo' feet on our necks
To hold us back cause we black!
From BEING AMERICAN!
We just flat characters in another man's backstory!
(Verse 4)
It's okay now for us to have a seat at the table.
Now they're far enough advanced in the races!
No more fear about us getting ahead of them...And them being beneath us-financially speaking!
It's okay for us to eat out their hands but don't want to eat out our hands.
As-long-as-you-eat-good...
You-should-be-good!
Nahh! It's about dominance, power & position.
Who's the head & who's the tail!
That's why they destroyed our successes; put their feet on our necks, to hold us back to advance forward!
And every other race advanced due to our disadvancement!
Lookup the visualcapitalist who is the richest people in the world in 2023 and I still don't see 1 black face.
Case closed!
The burden of proof is in the races!
(Final-Hook/Chorus)
What-a-
What-a-
Shame!
How embarrass it is to be called American!
At the expense of a nation's blood, sweat, and tears
So you can live comfortably---
At our discomforts!
Extract our creativity
And leave us in poverty!
Kept yo' feet on our necks
To hold us back cause we black!
From BEING AMERICAN!
We just flat characters in another man's backstory!
