Dizzy Wright - God Bless America lyrics
Yo, it's taking a lot for me to give y'all all of me For y'all to take it and run with it And turn it into some sh** that it's not Yo, exceeded my expectations a while ago They wondering why Dizzy the one that's always smiling for I listen a lot and look at everything I done accomplished, mane S'till, my baby girl and son is the main thing that I value most Family, f** a xanny, I'm puffing on this flower though You piece of sh**, no thang, we keep it lit No hard feelings, don't ever change, don't ever quit When I found out living legends s'till exist, I knew I had to commit So I heard that this new generation was waiting on me After The Golden Age, these old heads been praying for me To get involved, maybe vent to y'all, and make an impact Better plant a seed and water that b**h and watch it grow Now how many times I gotta say it? I been down and out But you only get so many chances 'till you're fouling out And I'm like, let me live without taking no breaths My mind is focused on which task I'm finna take on next, uh I think back when I just hung with my dawgs My mama could never keep a man 'cause we was running him off Needed a father figure but I don't like how he coming across He end up gone, she was sad but I felt like that's his loss I told her, never bend your head, look the world straight in the eyes You deserve love, but a queen don't need a king to survive And it's a blessing to be able to rap and not feed y'all lies Or fake my happiness like everything's just fine I mean, we all human beings but we not alike 'cause the loudest on the Internet get to sleep through a quiet night It's a big difference and it's teaching me a lot about who we are, how like Money don't change people, it just bring out who they truly are Man, I done seen the most from coast to coast They got us crossing over the border line I don't got all the answers but we need to be more organized So here's a little enlightening for your peace of mind Everything you need in this life you live will come at the perfect time So God bless America In God we trust Born in royalty, they can't take that from us No matter what, runs through our blood We have the power, we just like to trust (Trust) Just have your faith and believe Keep calm, my young kings and queens Watch and you'll see, and when that day comes May God bless America Uh, follow me, follow me through the hardships Pardon my need to be swift with how I start this speech Who you more like? Malcolm or Martin? The game that they play with us, brother, don't have no cartridge bu*ton mashers, disaster casters, they a** backwards I might slave for a meal but you ain't my master Running through the field, all I hear is laughter 'cause them chains that kept us here can no longer capture The heart of my folk, foot on my the throat of my oppressor For all of them ropes, they tied a tree for my ancestors If limbs could talk, they'd cry for days Sad, they gave all they had but couldn't break under pressure Blood on the leaves, Glock on the dresser Them laws plotting, protect and serve but I know better The news a lie, to you and I, TV ain't real So don't you try, to be like none of them Housewives Selling us fools' gold Tell a son to slang dope and daughter twerk when they get old Damn shame, how we find time to sit around Smoking and dranking, while they corporate banging Don't be content with the hood, n***a, what is you thinking? I got a small violin if you don't vote for complaining About the government, stand up on some brother sh** And stop being on some other sh**, God bless America Despite all the barriers If you do whatever you do every day You can get it, I did it From the poorest, they said I gotta push for all my dreams and they flourished Then a forest full of obstacles, I got the dope 'cause I'm morest Don't ignore it, that I built this vocab without a thesaurus When the war is pressing, they be asking me questions like Katie Couric Like, "Did you sell dope when you fell broke?" Tryna stop a male's hope who never dropped the jail soap Made it up out of Hell's scope, they ask, can I spell vote? I'm feeling like they tryna tell jokes, ya pale rope I'm a U.S. citizen escaping the penitentiary they hid us in The kid has been fitted to quit and then spit it and sh** again But I became noble and well-rounded like an oval Never will I be grounded for disposal Everybody be astounded by the mogul, Tech N9ne No more saying, I can't afford this Even when I was down, my plan was to never abort this Don't forget, they said I sold my soul, that's horse sh** 'cause I simply thought my way onto the Forbes list So God bless America
