Intro – low siren hum, deep echo
Yeah…
America sell a dream,
but you gotta sleep to believe it.
⸻
[Hook – dark chant, heavy 808 drop]
We American, but not free,
Land of law, not liberty.
Say “dream,” but charge a fee,
every breath got policy.
Flag wave — that’s strategy,
truth banned, that’s tragedy.
They say justice, I see parody,
we American — in clarity.
⸻
[Verse 1 – steady, militant pace]
Ayy, they gave me debt for birthright,
lied on paper, said “fight.”
Said “freedom,” but took sight,
now we blind in plain light.
Corporations baptize state,
God logo, church fake.
Stock chart, high stake,
they trade life — we awake.
Every law disguise for leash,
every peace made by breach.
Say “equal,” they impeach,
truth too loud to teach.
I don’t stand, I exist,
won’t pledge, won’t twist.
Intent my fist,
law of being — that’s bliss.
⸻
[Hook – crowd call, urgency rises]
We American, but not free,
Land of law, not liberty.
Say “dream,” but charge a fee,
every breath got policy.
Flag wave — that’s strategy,
truth banned, that’s tragedy.
They say justice, I see parody,
we American — in clarity.
⸻
[Verse 2 – cadence flips, anger grows]
You call this free? Nah, it’s code,
mind control in upload.
New slave in mode,
scroll, click, reload.
Algorithm preach faith,
but can’t relate.
AI judge fate,
truth too late.
You wake up, they flag your tongue,
call you threat for songs you sung.
Free speech where it hung,
now truth unsung.
I see cities burn in silence,
cops still rule with violence.
They sell peace as compliance —
that’s alliance.
⸻
[Bridge – low chant with gospel echoes]
Say pledge, they nod,
pray debt, call God.
New law, new fraud,
same cage, new pod.
America built on trend,
lie start, truth end.
Dream don’t bend —
just pretend.
⸻
[Hook – distorted voice, trap drop]
We American, but not free,
Land of law, not liberty.
Say “dream,” but charge a fee,
every breath got policy.
Flag wave — that’s strategy,
truth banned, that’s tragedy.
They say justice, I see parody,
we American — in clarity.
⸻
[Verse 3 – DMX grit, intensity peaking]
Ain’t no peace, it’s profit,
ain’t no change, they pocket.
History — they crop it,
truth raw, they block it.
“Vote right” — same chain,
same pain, new name.
Whole game insane,
we the product in domain.
But I move off-grid,
free of bid.
Law of intent, forbid —
existence never hid.
You can’t own what breath decree,
you can’t fence infinity.
This is what they fear to see —
I ain’t free, I just be.
⸻
[Final Hook – choir and bass together, war tone]
We American, but not free,
Land of law, not liberty.
Say “dream,” but charge a fee,
every breath got policy.
Flag wave — that’s strategy,
truth banned, that’s tragedy.
They say justice, I see parody,
we American — in clarity.
⸻
Outro – slow fade, static hum
This ain’t the dream they sold.
It’s the lie they leased.
