God Bless America (feat. Emma Pate)

God bless America Oh yeah, god bless America This for the red, white, and blue This for the boys who back the blue God bless America Oh yeah, God bless America I swear my city like a zoo Cause everywhere you look it's like they shoot God bless America Oh yeah, God bless America Where i'm from it's a dark place A lot of people don't smile much Cause we livin' this lifestyle They'd rather racial profile us Everyday, relive the pain Gotta pray it wont be the same Too afraid to try to make a change So we live our lives out of spite and vain Champagne for the migraine Mary jane help ease the pain Of the mental strain Hard to refrain from the thoughts in your brain Got you going insane This is the life we were given It's not like we had a decision Either you trap, go to prison, become a musician Or fight with ambition until you start livin I'm trapped in the hood and i'm paranoid Where dying is something you can't avoid Work like a slave for your 9 to 5 Join uncle sam and get deployed Or waiting in line for your unemployment Livin' a life where there's no enjoyment All of it's getting to me Still fighting for rights and i thought we were supposed to be free Nobody cares it seems To live your life a distant dream Life should not be this extreme Make you want to shout and scream One nation under god but don't think as a team Wishin' that this reality wasn't a thing But it is God bless America Oh yeah, God bless America This for the red, white, and blue This for the boys who back the blue God bless America Oh yeah, God bless America I swear my city like a zoo Cause everywhere you look it's like they shoot Modern day slaves, working for minimum wage Overworked, underpaid Sometimes, life can get in the way It's hard to negate It feel like you stuck and you cannot escape Not in control when it come to your fate Gotta be strong, believe in yourself Gotta show love when they come with the hate See, i can relate It feel like you're trapped under pressure and dying from all of the fake Don't know how much you can take, just keep it together and try not to break Beware of the snakes, who claim to be real Thinking they woke, but still not awake That's never the case, let's cut to the chase A knife in your back, a smile in your face Because of your race, you could be targets Swear that this world is living in darkness People are crying for help, and we turn our backs We choose to be heartless Supposed to be christian-like, yet we judging people based off their type Hating people who look just alike Christians don't take their own advice, oh lord Who's gonna pay the price Who's gonna pay with the sacrifice Who's gonna pay with the sacrifice, cause we're tired of hearing 'bout the afterlife Dying for heaven and hell, i don't see the point in wishing us well Trapped in a spell we cannot reveal Trapped in a spell we cannot reveal But still God bless America Oh yeah, God bless America This for the red, white, and blue This for the boys who back the blue God bless America Oh yeah, God bless America I swear my city like a zoo Cause everywhere you look it's like they shoot
