Hieroglyphics - Made in America lyrics

[Verse 1] Made in America, where ya Placed on the totem pole I got soul Cause I'm a black man Never sellin' crack and Track the police The facts I release Go straight through your ear to the mind Listen, just cause this man is white I won't dis him I'll enlist him Work with the system It's a big country Ain't nobody's flunky Be cool, don't lose control Cause a fool will scold someone else before himself There ain't no need to be hurt Proceed to be alert The seed is in the dirt When you ain't got nowhere else to look you're gonna find 'em there And the time you shared Time together Maybe climb together But if it don't work out Still don't doubt or pout It's out in the open Hopin' that it ain't scarin' ya This is made in America [Hook] Made in America Made where? Made in America Made where? Made in America Where dat at? Made in America [Verse 2] I'mma have it made in America Paid in America Bring about a raid in your area Who's controllin' who? You controllon' you Don't let noone tell you what to do You your own person I be thirstin' for more information to deal with the nation Be forewarned The more informed you are will help you swarm the farther regions So please begin Ask your elders I'm sure they'll tell ya Where ya came from If ya brain's numb From wonderin' Where did ya come from then Ask your moms to drop the bomb Just remember black is black No matter the shade Just be glad that she gave birth to you It might hurt ya to But you gotta wonderful life So take it light, yo Racial tensions Makes ya fist tense It's a cinch when You don't get alarmed I'm strong and mighty Just politely preparin' ya If ya made in America Cause then they always fearin' Ya need a strong foundation When ya placin' stationed in America [Hook x2] Yeah, we got the funk We got the funk We got the funk We got the funk
