4 degrees and a Ph.D, still a nigga
This game wasn't told to me, it was sold to me
This game wasn't told to me, it was sold to me
No matter how much your ass get paid, you still a nigga
Our country 'tis of thee, land of liberty
Not in Amerika, not Amerika
You need to visit our schools
This game wasn't told to me, it was sold to me
Yo' own yard and a place to park
Our country 'tis of thee, land of liberty
If your skin is brown just like me, then you a nigga
And a better heart, another start
And every bad doin' brotha, sista, daddy and mother
Every single night, he'll feel with you
I'm doing this one for the struggle
Not in Amerika, not Amerika
And writing brand new sins, lyin' on a million men
But that'll never be, no way
And said America is the original birthplace
They inter-catching you with satellites in deep space
Goin' through but I coulda warned you
Not in America, not America
And we are never free, no way
Who gettin' 10 20 life on they first case, my niggaz
Our country 'tis of thee, land of liberty
How you gon' keep the man, old Mr. Crooked ass preachin' man
We do it for the main goal so when all the heat is gone
World champions and you M.V.P. you a nigga
Sweet land of liberty, y'all
Not in Amerika, not in Amerika
And ever since you made President we ain't even seen you since
And closely watch your friends
Shot by the cops at a traffic stop 'cause you a nigga
Now who invented niggaz in the first place
And we are never free, no way
Not in Amerika, not Amerika
And leave my Earth alone
And stop tappin' my phone and searchin' my bro
I'm doin' this one for the kids in the streets who ain't missed a beat
And them doin' time in the Penn
Got a nice home and a Lexus truck, you a nigga
Not in Amerika, not in Amerika
You want a truck and ride and a better life
That's why I hold toast too, I sell bi coastal, international
And all my brothers, sisters, them daddys
Do it for all the children of the corn and the unborn
And we are never free, no way
Not in Amerika, not in Amerika
When it's time to be a man, do all you can
And then you'll understand a lil' better then
Got a promotion and a fat ass raise, you still a nigga
You only got 2 bucks and give less than a fuck, then you a nigga
And keep your personal feelings home when you bendin' my chrome
You use your platinum card, you need 4 ID's, then you's a nigga
But on the other hand, you so God damn stubborn
Do it for the deaf and the blind and those who don't eat meat
But that'll never be, no way
A bigger crib and a home cooked meal
Oh, Amerika, Amerika, Amerika
See other lands and don't be livin' for the other man
Do it for the speedy trials and all the lies you done sworn
Do it for the weak and the strong and to each his own
And we are never free, no way
You from the islands and your peoples wasn't slaves, you a nigga
But that'll never be, no way
Our country 'tis of thee, land of liberty
And you be startin' shit
Who livin' in the gutter you want better cars
Rebuild our church and homes, stop killin' my own kind
When your whole congregation drivin' a brand new Benz
But that'll never be, no way
This game wasn't told to me, it was sold to me
Take time out and settle in, be the better man
