Brother Ali - American Nightmare lyrics

[Hook] It's an American Nightmare We don't fight fair We take lives here Done gone [Verse One: Brother Ali] Untouchable Rain, sun or cool Breeze, ease, the pain crack another brew Ghetto public school, leak rain from the roof Troubled youth, was your name? Straight from the womb Cycle coming true Your father flew through the same trap door that you'll one day plummet through Ain't nothing new Rugged like a hundred proof Place where they say the easy way is jumping from the roof Police coming through They rough Hand cuff, G Grab knucks, points guns at you no matter what you do How the quote unquote justice move If you protect us then who protect us from you? There's a couple youth Workers but they're few Far between, they can't reach but one or two You only bustin' loose When you got numbers glued to your back Whether that's a jersey or a jump suit You wonder what you do to make the world punish you That's when your sense of right and wrong start to come aloof Hustlers recruit Right in front of school f** the rules You got ? , you got nothing to loose They show it on the news Them people judging you As if you had a f**in' chance this is what you choose Can't sing nothing but the blues Americas Nightmare the God's honest truth [Hook] - 2X [Verse Two: Scarface] I'm barely grown I'm lost all alone Out on my own My mind gone Pocket with stones And I pitch to these unknowns Cops tend to roll undercover trying to bust us But cops get they head flown I'm in a dead zone I ain't supposed to be here I'm a ghost with a pistol blowin' smoke totin' weed here See here? The fine print you ain't read there The I-don't-give-a-f**-part Approach you where you sleep at Black Your whole world seems to fade to it And I'm a pa**er-by acting like I ain't do it It's plain stupid The d** must have done that As you bleed I get the dry heave Nauseous because I can't vomit Something Wicked this way cometh The ending of days God promise That's brung us To the point where we at now And I have come to far for me to back down These devilish ways These voices I hear from the grave Speak to me saying "k** that motherf**er", I'm a slave to it [Hook]
