Paroles : American Heartbreak
Yeah, America the ugly
This country is deep to say the least
As from Louisville to Kentucky, to LA to the East
Where the rage been on, recently I been makin' peace
With the fact that black bodies are worth more if they’re deceased
I'm trapped in a nine-by-twelve, awaitin' our release
Not takin’ it upon ourselves to break away [?]
Before they face the next few cops
Cause a traffic stop at night alone could get you pop
Nina Simone said, "What's the matter with you? Rock?
Is it my hip-hop? Hey, what's the matter with 2Pac?"
We will finish the journey from Mecca to pilgrimage
Build bridges over burial grounds, they filled with us
I grimaced upon a photo I found
A still image of a friend who said to lean on Him, like Bill Withers
I wish he was still with us
They issue moratoriums on the truth and label us 'revisionist historians'
Changin' the point of origin in all the events
Any prince with some kind of sense is all they're against
For generations, they ain't shown us that the American modus operandi
The holders, controllers, and [?]--watch your body
Oh, America, [?]
Don’t wanna see another American heartbreak
Oh, you can’t keep me down
Oh, America
Yeah, watch your body for me
I wasn't built to [?]
I won’t be another American heartbreak
My soul you won't take
You can't keep me down
This country is deep to say the least
As from Louisville to Kentucky, to LA to the East
Where the rage been on, recently I been makin' peace
With the fact that black bodies are worth more if they’re deceased
I'm trapped in a nine-by-twelve, awaitin' our release
Not takin’ it upon ourselves to break away [?]
