This is America Lyrics
[Chorus] ft. ada
This is america, the land of the free
[Intro]
This is america, where the police is scared of us
[Verse 1]
We get judged of our color, our outside cover
We’re not like one another, till we discover what’s inside (oh what’s inside)
Let’s look inside (I ain’t tryna die)
You love her, you touched her, impressed her with your Hummer
This is the culture we live in
In summer you're lonely, you put others above her
When you uncover she’s with another, you shudder
Land of the free
That I agree
If you believe
You can achieve
Freedom of thought that’s what you bought from the block that ain’t hot
Low self esteem
You follow what others deem supreme
When I was fifteen sixteen on the same thing
We the walking dead, our minds asleep, we follow feeds
But between you and me, we can proceed in life without they stampede, they say I’m too extreme, nah it’s just you being naive
And tryna be discreet about it like I ain’t got eyes to see
Hold up, let’s appease, play my songs on repeat, listen to what I sing, let’s achieve unity, let’s be free from greed, what a relief
This is america, the land of the free
[Intro]
This is america, where the police is scared of us
[Verse 1]
We get judged of our color, our outside cover
We’re not like one another, till we discover what’s inside (oh what’s inside)
Let’s look inside (I ain’t tryna die)
You love her, you touched her, impressed her with your Hummer
This is the culture we live in
In summer you're lonely, you put others above her
When you uncover she’s with another, you shudder
Land of the free
That I agree
If you believe
You can achieve
Freedom of thought that’s what you bought from the block that ain’t hot
Low self esteem
You follow what others deem supreme
When I was fifteen sixteen on the same thing
We the walking dead, our minds asleep, we follow feeds
But between you and me, we can proceed in life without they stampede, they say I’m too extreme, nah it’s just you being naive
And tryna be discreet about it like I ain’t got eyes to see
Hold up, let’s appease, play my songs on repeat, listen to what I sing, let’s achieve unity, let’s be free from greed, what a relief
I’ll help you overcome the defeat, following trends won’t make your life complete, no it won't make your life complete
[Interlude]
This is america, where the police is scared of us
[Chorus] ft. ada
This is america, the land of the free
[Verse 2]
Turn on the tv screen and what do you see?
I see school shootings, and other things that should not be seen
But it’s ok cause the bass booming, we impatient so in traffic we zooming
There’s too much disputing, about Putin
Dear Trump it’s time to start doing
Make America Great Again, Make America Free Again, Make America Dream Again
I’m eluding to moving, this music therapeutic, please help America together we can start improving
Alone we losing, stop producing racism and sexism, let’s be more open minded about things that perplexes us
I’m expecting some unity, not scrutiny, let’s reach unity
America we got this, let’s help America stop looking foolishly, looking so foolishly
[Chorus] ft. ada
This is america, the land of the free
[Outro]
This is america, where the police is scared of us
[Interlude]
This is america, where the police is scared of us
[Chorus] ft. ada
This is america, the land of the free
[Verse 2]
Turn on the tv screen and what do you see?
I see school shootings, and other things that should not be seen
But it’s ok cause the bass booming, we impatient so in traffic we zooming
There’s too much disputing, about Putin
Dear Trump it’s time to start doing
Make America Great Again, Make America Free Again, Make America Dream Again
I’m eluding to moving, this music therapeutic, please help America together we can start improving
Alone we losing, stop producing racism and sexism, let’s be more open minded about things that perplexes us
I’m expecting some unity, not scrutiny, let’s reach unity
America we got this, let’s help America stop looking foolishly, looking so foolishly
[Chorus] ft. ada
This is america, the land of the free
[Outro]
This is america, where the police is scared of us
[Chorus] ft. ada
This is america, the land of the free
This is america, the land of the free
