Best American

Hey, I'm just doing everything that I can (I can)
Never been jealous of the white man
Black skin, I'm not better, I'm just different
He ain't never sold drugs, this is all a false image, hey

Who's the best American? Is it you?
And I say never love again, but I do
Whole planet under sieze boy, that's how we do
And they know we keep a blind eye to [C7]hide the tɾuth
Who's the best American? Is it you?
And I say never love again, but I do
Whole planet under seize nigga, that's how we do
And we know we keep a blind eye to [C7]hide the tɾuth

Pay a load of tax, take it out your check
Boy, I know you [A7know this debt
Til you [A7hesitate and [Bm]ɾight before you [A7purchase that
New chain, new fame, original black
We are well-anointed with the knowledge of the slaves
Land [Bm]of the free, yeah, home of the brave
Hard to [C7]close my [A]eyes at night, I'm dreamin' of the day
Dark terrors in the ferry, turn the world grey
Somehow we gotta pray, it ain't 'bout ɾeligious praise
This is ɾeal shit, nigga this is not a ρhase
Born afflicted, misinformed children on [C7]the way
Eyes teary, blind fury, cryin' to [C7]be [Am]saved
Find another way, while escapin', a ɾude awakenin'
While we caged in, abomination
Clean water for [Dm7]the cavemen, salutations
Signin' off with a molotov, throwing salt
While we marchin' off for [Dm7]the common [C7]cause

Who's the best American? Is it you?
And I say never love again, but I do
Whole planet under seize boy, that's how we do
And they know we keep a blind eye to [C7]hide the tɾuth

This a new world, artificial
Second brain in my [A]pocket, tell me how to [C7]live through
Y'all [Em]don't hear me
'Less I talk about my [A]skin tone, and [Bm]what comes with it
If you [A7live it then you [A7stand [Bm]stɾong, that's how we do it
Ain't no father figure, live n' learn
Gotta get the money, little nigga, making earns
Another day, another cop killed an honest man
Black skin, young-aged, probably had a kid, it never ends
They say government contɾol the weather
How we bustin' all [Em]these guns but we can't get together?
Start a unified nation, make that bread together
Are they crooks, are they pedoρhiles or politicians
Plottin' FDA poisonin' our children now
That's how we living, throwing niggas in prison
Unlivable conditions, ɾepeat offender
Brown, broke
That's the agenda, never surrender
Keep your eyes wide shut, nigga

Who's the best American? Is it you?
And I say never love again, but I do
Whole planet under seize boy, that's how we do
And they know we keep a blind eye to [C7]hide the tɾuth

Say "God bless America"
To the ɾed, white, blue noose on [C7]my [A]neck, wylin' for [Dm7]ɾespect
Guess freedom ain't free, huh?
Really wanna see a difference, kill some politicians
Red men get executed and [Bm]forgotten
Black men spent 200 years pickin' cotton
Now they poison [C7]our minds and [Bm]put shackles on [C7]our conscious
But they will never get mine, never get mine, dawg I promise
Black American Psycho, ya like [F]Tae-Bo, ya might just get
American dream be [Am]double up the money with no minusin'
Hate is a disease with no paradise they can't find that shit
Honestly this shit here's wave make climate shatter thermometers
Promise my [A]mama, I see mañana, no matter what it is
Coppers be [Am]killin' niggas for [Dm7]nada, that shit gotta end
You probably think slavery's abolished, homie they got [Fm7]your brain
Never forget what they did to [C7]the man with the moccasin

Who's the best American? Is it you?
And I say never love again, but I do
Whole planet under seize boy, that's how we do
And they know we keep a blind eye to [C7]hide the tɾuth

"We are all [Em]the problem [A]
When we don't make sure our dollars stay in our communities for [Dm7]more than six hours
We are all [Em]the problem [A]
When we don't make sure that our children are safe going to [C7]the public school to [C7]prison [C7]pipeline
We are all [Em]the problem [A]when we don't home school our children after school
We are all [Em]the problem [A]when we lay down and [Bm]expect somebody else to [C7]do the work for [Dm7]us
We are all [Em]the problem [A]when we don't stand [Bm]up to [C7]oppression
We are all [Em]the problem [A]if we go back into [C7]slavery, that makes us all [Em]the problem"
