America the Beautiful

It’s been while since i wrote you

To tell you truth

It’s been too long, I want to hold you

But this booth got to do

3,65, I’ve been on same changes

7 days a week, I’ve been wanting to say this

20 hours days, I’ve been on my grind

4 hours left, time is flying by

Your girl’s gotta hustle just to remind

That the dream gets bigger with every mountain I climb

Babies gotta eat

Bills need to be paid

I got one foot forward

While the others in the grave

A slave,

This system wants me in

But I refuse to wear chains,

So let the inner war begin

The truth of the matter is, I just want to be free

America she’s beautiful, but she’s not meant for me

The truth of the matter is, I just want to be free

America she’s beautiful, but she’s not meant for me

I write my hopes on the promise land

Not the one written by the “higher” man

There’s truth behind, my eyes, you see

I’ve been born out of poverty

I’m sending you love, with the money I earned

Next time I’ll write you sooner, with some lesson I learned.

I burn, at the idea I’ll see you soon

We’ll finally be free, humming to our favorite tune

I’ll do what I have to do to bring that dream to life

I’ll chose the path of least resistance cause I don’t want fight

Fight for basic freedom, fight for decent food

Fight for education, fight for medical too

But it looks like, this is what it has to be

Fighting for freedom, isn’t the same as fighting to be free

But it looks like, this is what it has to be

Fighting for freedom, isn’t the same as fighting to be free

This situation, really has me, kind of hesitating

How they say under God we are one nation

But the color of your skin has got to me clean

American dream is not as colorful as it seems
