Songtexte Amerikkka - PrinceRoc

Yeah
This Is Amerikkka
The Real Amerikkka
Yo

In beginning, we were nothing but cotton pickers, in servitude
Disenfranchised, fuck'd by the justice system
Jim Crow laws, crack imported in our ghettos
Just some things that try to stop black Amerikkka
Cruisin' in a Dodge Dart, jammin' to my fuckin' system
Cops right behind me, flashin' lights in my mirrors
Pulled me over said license and registration
No questions, no sudden movements
I gave it, no hesitation
He said, "step out the car"
I said, "officer, what's the reason?"
His hand now on the gun, aggressively he repeated
(Step out the car!)
I put my hands up, slowly I proceeded
As soon as I stepped out, his partner searchin' my vehicle
I ain't do nothin' wrong, he said "we'll be the judge of that"
Cops said, "found somethin'", he came out with a bag of gas
Another example when twelve targets the black man
Planting drugs on us to make their fuckin' quota

In WHITE AMERIKKKA, uhh!
I'm just a thug causing trouble
A ghetto boy from the slums
In WHITE AMERIKKKA!
Just a criminal to the police
With a target on his back
In WHITE AMERIKKKA!
How can we run the same race
When you plotting on us to fail
In WHITE AMERIKKKA!
Cause in the land of the free
We're nothing but some slaves (yeah)

From mass incarceration, gentrification of our ghettos
Constantly discriminated, oppressed since the days of slaves
Structural racism, from education to our wealth
Government passin' laws, supporting inequality
Nowadays, they reapin' the benefits from the past
We can't kneel or protest, mass shooters are gettin' a pass, damn
White people couldn't last a second in my shoes
Everyday paranoid, wonderin' today will be their last
Stereotyped by the media, labeled as drug dealers
Gang bangers, you got the world hate me for my melanin
Land of the free, I really that's funny
My people's blood sweat and tears made this damn country
We set the trends, we change culture
We invented things that changed the world
Ancestors of twelve million, Trump we need our reparations
Open your eyes don't let White privilege jade you
My people steady are dying
But you claim that we are equal

In WHITE AMERIKKKA, uhh!
I'm just a thug causing trouble
A ghetto boy from the slums
In WHITE AMERIKKKA! (yeah)
Just a criminal to the police
With a target on his back
In WHITE AMERIKKKA!
How can we run the same race
When you plotting on us to fail
In WHITE AMERIKKKA!
Cause in the land of the free
We're nothing but some slaves

We been discriminated, incarcerated
They tryna dehumanize us, so they can eradicate us
We been discriminated, incarcerated
They tryna dehumanize us, so they can eradicate us
We been discriminated, incarcerated
They tryna dehumanize us, so they can eradicate us
We been discriminated, incarcerated
They tryna dehumanize us, so they can eradicate us
POW!
Yeah...
I know, I just been...
Soundin' like like I've been dissin', ya know, the other side
But, we can't fight for change if we don't work on self
We gotta focus on our own people first
Lemme preach to yall one mo' time

What if put our money into black business?
Not destroy but to educate, give a little wisdom
Teach the young to be financially literate
Entrepreneurial skills, stop accumulating more debt
Hold each other accountable, we are one clan
If I eat you eat, our money for the community
Small business to enterprises
In the long run its worth it
Recycling black dollars, rebuilding Black Wall Street
Atlantic Slave Trade wasn't the beginning of our history
Used to be scientists, scholars, mathematicians, No fictions
We used to run many civilizations
Before degradation, before the plantations
Use our influence for good, no more negative interpretations
United as one tribe, stop aiding our extermination
Minds like Farrakhan, take action like Huey Newton
Take a stand like Rosa Parks, So our dreams be Martin Luther!

BLACK AMERICA
'Cause we deserve to have a voice
We're more than a second class
BLACK AMERICA
I love my people so much
It's time to take a stand
BLACK AMERICA
Instead of crabs in a barrel
Let's be, links on a chain
BLACK AMERICA
'Cause united we'll win
Divided we'll fall in
WHITE AMERIKKKA!
I'm just a thug causing trouble
A ghetto boy from the slums
In WHITE AMERIKKKA!
Just a criminal to the police
With a target on his back
In WHITE AMERIKKKA!
How can we run the same race
When you plotting on us to fail
In WHITE AMERIKKKA!
Cause in the land of the free
We're nothing but some slaves

This Is Amerikkka
The Real Amerikkka
