[00:00.37] I know radio prolly ain't gonna play this
[00:02.52]
[00:03.44] But chopper going off in the hood man
[00:04.83] Like Afghanistan or the Gaza
[00:06.27] Strip somewhere man.
[00:07.22]
[00:08.66] Yeah, we hear it so much
[00:10.87] We probably numb to it by now.
[00:12.10]
[00:12.80] After all, it's the American way right?
[00:15.33] Home of the brave and free
[00:17.25]
[00:18.08] (It's America)
[00:18.91] Free just to murder me
[00:21.20] (Land of the handgun)
[00:22.61] Land of the beautiful
[00:25.15] (Home of the shotgun)
[00:26.58] Cursed by the hate we throw
[00:28.35] (You're dead if you ain't got one)
[00:29.45] Is this the new national anthem?
[00:34.38] It was like this before I got here baby,
[00:36.15] I ain't do it
[00:36.79] Is this the new national anthem?
[00:39.94] (I ain't start it, I'm just a part of it)
[00:41.94]
[00:43.16] Turn it
[00:43.54]
[00:44.81] You say this the home
[00:45.53] Of the brave I guess
[00:46.47] I say this the home
[00:47.23] Of the K's and the vets
[00:48.22] All alone with the J's smoking yay
[00:49.43] Cause he stressed
[00:50.09] On chrome with a Tek
[00:50.85] Taught to spray for respect
[00:52.04] I learned from the best
[00:52.99] Used to stay in the jects
[00:54.03] Bought work from the vets
[00:54.95] Burning rubber in the vets
[00:55.71] This as good as it gets
[00:56.59] Used to play with the rats
[00:57.64] Then I got older and learned
[00:58.55] Stay away from the rats
[00:59.55] God blessed this nigga,
[01:00.33] To hustle up and make eight figures
[01:01.86] Turned from a goon
[01:02.75] To a great young nigga
[01:03.74] No complaining
[01:04.32] Just doing what it take young nigga
[01:05.50] I was raised in a decade
[01:06.58] Of hate young nigga
[01:07.59] Always dodging polices
[01:08.15] Because they hate young niggas
[01:09.44] And we hate them too,
[01:10.33] 38 in him shoe
[01:11.24] All the changes the system
[01:12.10] Will take him through
[01:13.02] He ain't a killer
[01:13.71] But he will if you make him do it
[01:15.25] Homicide he'll ride,
[01:15.79] They'll put him on trial
[01:16.71] Let him have a life
[01:17.42] Sentence then do it with a smile
[01:18.85] And he only 19,
[01:19.50] He ain't even had a child
[01:20.50] As a child, told his mama
[01:21.37] He'll be gone for a while
[01:22.27] And she cried,
[01:23.03] Still they just put him inside
[01:24.29] Now she all on her own
[01:25.32] Because her other son died
[01:26.29] Listen to the politician
[01:26.97] As he lied and he lied
[01:28.07] He a snake in a suit,
[01:29.17] Trying to hide in disguise
[01:30.28] Home of the brave and free
[01:32.32] (Well damn officer what did I do?)
[01:33.95] Free just to murder me
[01:35.99] Naw hold up man don't shoot,
[01:36.93] I live over there
[01:37.51] Land of the beautiful
[01:39.54] (A man what you doin)
[01:41.52] Cursed by the hate we throw
[01:43.81] (You trippin dawg)
[01:44.53] Is this the new national anthem
[01:49.99]
[01:51.82] Is this the new national anthem
[01:57.91]
[01:59.64] For the stars and the stripes
[02:00.59] Prison bars and the pipe
[02:01.49] Young nigga rolling weed
[02:02.13] In a cigar he can light
[02:03.12] Bang red either blue selling hard
[02:04.37] And the white
[02:05.17] Live by the gun,
[02:05.87] Never run from a fight
[02:06.96] Trayvon in a hoodie,
[02:07.83] Walking through the neighborhood he
[02:08.79] Didn't do shit to buddy,
[02:09.69] He didn't have to die did he?
[02:10.72] I guess it's because his dad
[02:11.61] Was a judge in the city
[02:12.53] They didn't want him in the pen
[02:13.58] With the thugs that could get him
[02:14.70] A jury of his peers
[02:15.50] Said all was forgiven
[02:16.33] But touch one of mine,
[02:17.15] Right or wrong,
[02:17.69] I'ma kill them
[02:18.24] Fill them with the lead
[02:19.07] Like they put in Martin Luther King's head
[02:20.38] Like they killed Malcolm X,
[02:21.46] Edgar Hoover did that
[02:22.19] You can catch me in the hood
[02:23.49] Where they shooting niggas at
[02:24.41] They don't know if Neighborhood
[02:25.10] Or the Hoovers did that
[02:25.95] Whether Piru or VL's
[02:26.64]
[02:27.29] Or GDs wit me we
[02:28.08] Down to uprise
[02:28.81] From the OG's to peewees
[02:30.22] Home of the brave and free
[02:32.51] (Don't get it f**ked up)
[02:33.83] Free just to murder me
[02:35.32] If you ain't found something
[02:36.15] You're willing to die for,
[02:36.90] You ain't fit to live
[02:37.76] Land of the beautiful
[02:39.60] To get something you've never had,
[02:40.59] You must be willing to do something
[02:41.66] You've never done
[02:42.12] Cursed by the hate we throw
[02:43.46] (I'ma die by mine)
[02:44.30] Is this the new national anthem
[02:50.62]
[02:51.86] Is this the new national anthem
[02:57.41]
[02:58.97] What are you doing
[03:00.27] Let me ask you something.
[03:01.62] If the kids are the future,
[03:02.72] Tell me why you
[03:03.44] Can get more for being C.O.,
[03:04.78] Than you can for being a teacher.
[03:06.20]
[03:06.94] Tell me why it means
[03:07.80] More to the government
[03:08.61] To pay the people
[03:09.25] Who got to watch over the prisoners,
[03:11.07] More than the people
[03:11.78] Who got to keep the children
[03:12.73] From becoming prisoners.
[03:13.60]
[03:14.14] That make sense?
[03:15.03] Tell me why 9 ounces
[03:16.18] Of crack will get you more time
[03:17.50] Than a rape right now.
[03:18.50]
[03:19.03] Tell me why them crazy white boys
[03:20.37] Can tote a gun
[03:21.26] But I can't right now.
[03:22.30]
[03:23.79] Yea I had felonies,
[03:24.44] I done did dirt in the streets,
[03:25.72] But I ain't ever gave it
[03:26.59] To anybody that didn't deserve it.
[03:27.56] You know what I mean?
[03:28.49]
[03:30.20] I ain't ever ran in no public place
[03:31.51] With no pistol shooting
[03:32.30] No innocent people.
[03:32.84] I ain't never ran in no school,
[03:34.04] Killing no kids.
[03:34.93]
[03:35.79] Man this is the result of you refusing
[03:37.22] To deal with the issues at hand.
[03:38.98]
[03:39.92] We are a product of the environment
[03:41.33] You placed us in
[03:42.24]
[03:43.18] We ain't do it
[03:44.26] We just lived through it
[03:45.19] Home of the brave and free
[03:47.08] (Message to my people)
[03:47.97]
[03:48.79] Free just to murder me
[03:50.56] Stop waiting on folk to help you,
[03:51.86] Help yourself, it starts with you
[03:52.86] Land of the beautiful
[03:54.44] Get yourself out, reach back,
[03:55.83] Get somebody else out
[03:56.62] Cursed by the hate we throw
[03:59.32] Is this the new national anthem
[04:05.71]
[04:06.83] Is this the new national anthem
[04:13.02]
[04:13.70] Hell is you doin'
