Obama Nation Lowkey

[Intro]
This track is not an attack upon the American people
It is an attack upon the system within which they live
Since 1945 the United States has attempted to overthrow more than 50 foreign governments
In the process the U.S. has caused the end of life for several million people and condemned many millions more to a life of agony and despair

[Verse 1]
The strength of your dreamin' prevents you from reason
The American dream only makes sense if you're sleepin'
It's just a cruel fantasy,
Their politics took my voice away but their music gave it back to me
The land where their lumpen are consumed by consumption
Killing themselves to shovel down food in abundance
I guess a rapper from Britain is a rare voice
America is capitalism on steroids
Natives kept in casinos and reservations
Displaced slaves never given reparations
Take everything from Native Americans
And wonder why I call it the racist experiment
Afraid of your melanin, the same as it's ever been
That ain't gonna change with the race of the President
I see imperialism under your skin tone
You could call it Christopher Columbus syndrome

[Chorus]
O! Say can you see by the dawn's early light
(Is it Obama's nation or an abomination?)
(Is it Obama's nation or an abomination?)
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
(Is it Obama's nation or an abomination?)
(Doesn't make any difference when they bomb your nation)
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through perilous fight
(Is it Obama's nation or an abomination?)
(Is it Obama's nation or an abomination?)
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming
(Is it Obama's nation or an abomination?)
(Doesn't make any difference when they bomb your nation)
