Richard Nixon - Welcome to America ("A Journey Through America" Remix) lyrics

[Intro] Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon from the flight deck We're cruising at 37,000 feet and we just pa**ed over the coast We'll be beginning our descent in about 30 minutes I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome you to America [Sample] O beautiful For spacious skies For amber waves of grain [Richard Nixon] I want to say this to the television audience. I made my mistakes, but in all of my years of public life, I have never profited Because people have got to know whether or not their President is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got [John F. Kennedy] And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country [Martin Luther King Jr.] When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of that old Negro spiritual, Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last! [Verse 1] I was made in America Land of the free, home of the brave And right up under your nose You might see a s** slave being traded And we'll do anything for the money Boy, a mama might sell her babies Sell p**n, sell pills Anything to pay the bills Anything to bring that pay Gotta scratch that itch Gotta scratch them ticks Ain't rich, but I might be And I'mma shoot these flicks, I'mma turn these tricks Anything for a slight fee Yeah made in America Momma told me that I belong here Had to earn our stripes, had to learn our rights Had to fight for a home here But I wouldn't know a thing about that All I know is d** and rap I probably could have been some kinda doctor Instead of holding guns and crack I was born in the mainland Great-Grandpa from a strange land He was stripped away and given bricks to lay I guess you could say he a slave here But I was made in America So I don't know a thing about that All I know is Uncle Sam looking for me working on his corner So I know I gotta pay tax Getting paid in America I was raised in America And this is all I ever known If I'm wrong then you better come save me America (America, America) [Harvey Presnell (Gen. George C. Marshall)] It's with the most profound sense of joy that I write to inform you your son, Private James Ryan, is well and, at this very moment, on his way home from European battlefields. Reports from the front indicate James did his duty in combat with great courage and steadfast dedication, even after he was informed of the tragic loss your family has suffered in this great campaign to rid the world of tyranny and oppression [Verse 2] Man I'd die for America I served my time for America Got shot-shot back went to war Got back and ain't nobody give a jack in America I could lost my life boy I lost my wife I can't even get right in my home land Cold sweats, whole ticks, paranoia Looking out for a threat in own land I was trained in America How they get up in the planes in America Flew them right into the buildings Taking out civilians People getting k**ed in America? And I'm still in America Though America ain't feeling me I went to war for this country Turn around came home and you drilling me When y'all free here saying you don't wanna be here Boy you probably couldn't breathe here If I didn't load a couple magazines here Y'all just complain in America I'm jumping out of military planes from America Aye, I was made in America That's why I'm out here saving America I got a brother in the cemetery now Cause he wanted y'all safe And everybody want the freedom but nobody want to hear "about face!" We bled for America To keep y'all fed in America But what's the point of talking A lot of y'all don't really even care America [Interlude] My name is Aiden [?] and I, uh, self employee I am a student, and I,uh, study particle science Everywhere else in the world I mean it's real hard out there A lot of people are dying, uh, and seeing ya know a lot of different things than what we're seeing here, even in Mexico, there's a lot of k**ing going on down there I've always had a dream and aspiration and ambition to cross two oceans to come to the [?] [Verse 3] I wish I lived in America Wanna raise my kids in America Heard everybody rich All I gotta do is run, jump, kick I'm a hit in your area So please pick me America I know you probably never loved me You never hear about me on the news And you probably never been to my country I hear you selling education and got clothes that you throw away Got plenty food in your nation I could tell cause a lot of y'all are overweight I already work for y'all I'm at a sweatshops making these shirts for y'all Naw, I ain't gettin' money Go to bed hungry, but I make some exports for y'all But y'all don't know a thing about that You was made in America I'm trying to find me a ticket where the sky is the limit Catch a plane to America It should be plain to America Y'all blessed and you got it made Heard y'all don't pray no more, y'all ain't saved no more Y'all looking for another way Well I hope it ain't true, but I'm packing my suit Farewell to my mother land Said bye to my loved ones Fate here I come, I'm going to another land I done made it to America I'm amazed at America But I couldn't get approval to stay so they sent me away from America [Outro] I Pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the Untied States of America And to the republic, for which it stands, one nation under *beep* Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all *clapping* One nation under *beep* (x4) *Beep* (x7)
