1
Oh, America, land of the free
2
Your flag is flyin' but it looks dirty to me
3
Oh, America, home of the brave
4
Anywhere you go, you're leavin' too many graves
5
The chest is so big but the brain is too small
6
The whole world's cryin' out, "Just stop the wars"
7
Don't care about the climate, don't care about the poor
8
You don't seem to care about too much at all
9
Oh, America, land of the free
10
Your flag is flyin' but it looks dirty to me
11
Oh, America, home of the brave
12
Anywhere you go, you're leavin' too many graves
13
You say you're with God but you wield Satan's sword
14
With kangaroo courts you just make up your laws
15
No human rights, oh, yes, we know the score
16
The bogey man is close, he may live next door
17
Oh, America, land of the free
18
Your flag is flyin' but it looks dirty to me
19
Oh, America, home of the brave
20
Anywhere you go, you're leavin' too many graves
21
When the floods came down, it showed all your old traits
22
Condemned your own people on the basis of race
23
Why leave vulnerable people in a vulnerable place?
24
It's a crying shame, it's a freaking disgrace
25
Oh, America, land of the free
26
Your flag is flyin' but it looks dirty to me
27
Oh, America, home of the brave
28
Anywhere you go, you're leavin' too many graves
29
I say the government man, them seem to get it wrong
30
Them seem to make a whole heap of bad decision
31
Time fe good Americans to stand up strong
32
Like friends over there we know for so long
33
Stand up firm, me say, stand up strong
34
Time fe mek a new day, we no love Babylon
35
Me say, stand up firm, me say, stand up strong
36
Time fe mek a new day, we no love Babylon
37
They say the military help you be a better man
38
But still they don't really care about the veteran
39
And, yeah, I did a couple years in the navy
40
Floating in the ocean, eating rice and the gravy
41
I would've never went if I could have went to college
42
But they were like, no money, no knowledge
43
We give a lot of bread to these lame institutions
44
But most of them teachin' us lies and not solutions
45
See how they rearrange the black man's contribution
46
And now they got the nerve to go and change the constitution
47
The birds can't fly, the sky is full of pollution
48
Earths temperature rising like the crime rate in Houston
49
Police are corrupt, nobody is watching the borders
50
We never hear the truth about the war from reporters
51
In the ghetto, we pray a lot as life gets shorter
52
Man, my heart is in the hood, is this the new world order?
53
Stand up firm, me say, stand up strong
54
Time fe mek a new day, we no love Babylon
55
Me say, stand up firm, me say, stand up strong
56
Time fe mek a new day, we no love Babylon
57
America, certified home of the brave
58
We got freedom of speech but just watch what you say
59
In America, certified land of the free
60
And you can't believe everything you see on TV
61
Be hoping for a change in time, you wanna vote, stand in line
62
Different races, many faces, unifying every time
63
See Clinton or Obama, man, could help relieve the drama
64
We're grindin' and findin' answers while they're searching for Osama
65
See soldiers dyin' and mothers cryin', this war will never cease
66
Media lyin', America, they never wanted peace
67
Bush is a beast, he snatchin' oil from the Middle East
68
Let the rich get a piece, we barely make it in the streets
69
Overworked, underpaid, waitin' on government aid
70
Fast food, bad grades, rush me to an early grave
71
We 'bout solutions like equal funding for these institutions
72
Knowledge never fails and college keepin' us out of jail
73
From the left to the right to the front to the back
74
Them never see we comin'
75
AD UB40, ah, see
76
This one is a journey
77
Through the minds with lines for life
78
This one take them further, ah
79
Ah, hon, me say America, America, can you stop for a sec
80
Just a sec, please, can you just look this way?
81
We no like how it's goin' down, please can you slow it down
82
Please can someone explain?
83
How the building, them was tall, then the building dem ah fall
84
And the people, dem ah dyin' for no reason
85
Just give me a reason
86
America
87
Stand up firm, me say, stand up strong
88
Time fe mek a new day, we no love Babylon
89
Me say, stand up firm, me say, stand up strong
90
Time fe mek a new day, we no love Babylon
91
Me say, stand up firm, me say, stand up strong
92
Time fe mek a new day, we no love Babylon
93
Me say, stand up firm, me say, stand up strong
94
Time fe mek a new day, we no love Babylon
