Still In America Songtext
von Lecrae

Ladies and Gentlemen from the flight deck, this is your captain
We′re experiencing some very rough air right now
I need everyone to please remain calm, and take their seats
On our way down we may hit some turbulence
Go ahead and brace yourselves for a possible emergency landing
Welcome to America
You can be, anything, you want, in America

Look, I'm still in America (yeah)
Beautiful, elegant, sinful, and arrogant (woo)
There′s plenty hysteria
After they shot at them schools in that new cafeteria (yeah)
Don't sneak in our area
'Cause if you ain′t patriotic you might be a terrorist (sheesh)
I know it′s embarrassin'


We say united we stand, but divisions are therapy
No GED, no EBT, just BBL (I look good though)
That CDC said quarantine, my PPP said (I need my check)
Look at your race, what they gon′ say? Stay in your place (huh, huh)
Made a mistake, open the case, open the gates (mhm-mm)
Yeah, go ahead and pray for that visa
See how America treat ya (sheesh)

We keep our history shrouded in mystery
Can't let ′em know all our secrets (quiet)
Men become ladies, ladies want more than some babies
They wanna be treated like people
Land of the free, but the freedom ain't equal
We love our politics more than our people

Monday we evil, but Friday we good
Put Lululemon right there in your hood
If you in poverty, go win the lottery
Then we might treat you the way that we should
You could be anything

If you got money, so get it by any means
Hussle is muscle
And you lookin′ weak so you better go get you some creatine (haha)
Get your weight up
Out here in America man (in America)


Hello, I'm still in America
Where church is a broadway production for relevance
We traded the kingdom to build an empire
So, people don't trust us, apparently
We worship economy, we′ll kill our own babies to keep our autonomy
You mess with our second amendment we′re probably gon' riot

But take out the probably, I′m still in America
The coast where I live, we ain't speakin′ much english
We do all the labor, and do all the cleaning
But we don't get treated like equals (so Lecrae can I see)
Some of us trust in the law and some don′t
Some law enforcement will save you from evil
You call 'em and then again some of 'em won′t (woo)

Sometimes we cheaters
To get our cheese up and take your piece of the pie (pie)
Sometimes we Caesar, sometimes we Jesus and we might get crucified (′fied)
We preach civil rights, have a civil fight (yeah)
BLM might take your money, buy expensive flights
Daddy sending kites, Momma full of sleepless nights

Basehead pipedream, left wing, right wing
Don't vote right, we′re still on sight (same)
Same gang, but we different colors
Four fathers, but none of us brothers (sheesh)
Some are born here, some are sworn here
Either live free or kill each other

You can kill anyone that you want, in America
