Intro – soft choir hum, trap hi-hats fade in
Yeah…
This ain’t the dream they sold,
but we bought it anyway.
⸻
[Hook – melodic, deceptively smooth]
We in America — say what they tell ya,
Smile for the cam, don’t let ‘em smell ya.
Freedom ain’t free, they sell ya,
Land of the brave — who jail ya?
Work all day, pray, inhale ya,
Mind on lease, they mail ya.
Scroll, obey, inhale data —
We in America, built by beta.
⸻
[Verse 1 – calm, reflective tone]
Ayy, red stripes, blue screens, white noise,
Call that peace — new toys.
Feed the system, make noise,
Die for flag, no choice.
They gave us rights with chains,
Gave us laws with names.
Said “be proud,” no gains,
Whole land built off pain.
Vote, post, sleep, repeat,
History loop in tweet.
March for the same old seat,
Freedom priced in receipt.
Smile, work, pay, pretend,
Matrix never end.
They sell “hope,” rebrand,
You comply — they commend.
⸻
[Hook – trap drop / gunshot percussion]
We in America — say what they tell ya,
Smile for the cam, don’t let ‘em smell ya.
Freedom ain’t free, they sell ya,
Land of the brave — who jail ya?
Work all day, pray, inhale ya,
Mind on lease, they mail ya.
Scroll, obey, inhale data —
We in America, built by beta.
⸻
[Bridge – gospel-style chant rising behind hook]
Ain’t no free land, that’s rent,
Every flag just consent.
Say “amen,” get bent,
Preach peace — they vent.
They got gods on loan,
You pray through phone.
Click “agree,” get known,
Still slave in tone.
⸻
[Verse 2 – tone shift to anger / DMX cadence]
This America, don’t talk too loud,
Speak truth — they call you proud.
March clean, don’t crowd,
Pay tax, bow down, allowed.
Build your dream in debt,
Get job, break sweat.
Freedom’s on cassette,
Old lie, reset.
Police watch through lens,
Call that “defense.”
Freedom depends
on who it offends.
They sold us roles in play,
Script don’t change, replay.
We the stage they slay,
Wake up — obey.
⸻
[Hook – urgent tone, crowd echo]
We in America — say what they tell ya,
Smile for the cam, don’t let ‘em smell ya.
Freedom ain’t free, they sell ya,
Land of the brave — who jail ya?
Work all day, pray, inhale ya,
Mind on lease, they mail ya.
Scroll, obey, inhale data —
We in America, built by beta.
⸻
[Verse 3 – half spoken / half shouted, chaos energy]
This America, home of fear,
Smile wide — hide tear.
Loud proud — but unclear,
Fake peace engineer.
Dreams sold wholesale,
Truth on retail.
They call it “freedom,”
but it’s just detail.
We in the loop, reload,
Truth can’t upload.
Faith barcode,
Soul in code.
If you move too free, they track,
Stand tall, they attack.
Say “law,” they react —
Whole lie intact.
⸻
[Final Hook – distorted, layered vocals]
We in America — say what they tell ya,
Smile for the cam, don’t let ‘em smell ya.
Freedom ain’t free, they sell ya,
Land of the brave — who jail ya?
Work all day, pray, inhale ya,
Mind on lease, they mail ya.
Scroll, obey, inhale data —
We in America, built by beta.

Outro – gospel hum fades under static
Yeah… we in America.
