[Intro:]
Yeah, you know sometimes I think,
They don't truly understand me, you know,
‘Cause they don't, yeah, uh!

[Bridge:]
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.

[Verse 1:]
Sometimes I speak and I feel like it ain't my words,
Like I'm just a vessel channelin' 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 just 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.

[Chorus:]
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!

[Bridge:]
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 that's worthwhile
Will for sure inspire actions, hold up, yeah, uh!

[Verse 2:]
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 lackin' the vision and barely makin' 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 living condition,
I'm reachin' out to my children just hopin' 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 gettin', you should take recognition.

[Chorus:]
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!

[Bridge:]
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 that's worthwhile
Will for sure inspire actions in your first child, yeah!
