[Verse 1]
God bless America, and my right to speak the truth
But middle finger to these white-collared men in a suit
Whether it’s Washington or Wall Street, they’re all treasonous to the flag we salute
The red, white, and blue
Now they wanna talk about the troops?
I got a sister in the Navy, she’s a mother of two
And my brother’s a Marine, rockin’ combat boots
He fought in Iraq where they bombed and shoot, but made it back
To my mama like a champ
Though in the process involved, he hurt his back
I watched my brother break his back for the service, but the government deserted him, his contract was terminated
You see they didn’t want to pay for his surgeon
While corporate tax breaks inflated their purses
We got a congress full of sleazebag, treacherous-hags and y’all wondering why Kaepernick won’t stand for the flag
Just think about it, before you log-on to Facebook and make a stink about it
I’m sick of all this fake “patriotism”- if y’all were really patriotic
You’d be tweetin’ bout the cheatin’ taking place in our system
Like how we’re working slaves, entangled by the chains of big business
With racial labor divisions, and discrimination in pays between a man and a woman
Goddammit I’ve had it with snatching Hispanic parents away from raising their children
Deportations erasing the faces of millions
While incarceration rates are blatant displays of what’s taken place by putting profit in prisons
Now black Americans are the victims of disparities in em’
See it’s institutional racism
But I don’t see no movement from politicians (Nah)
They rather sit and bask in the wealth by themselves
Yo the pitchforks are coming, I tell ya
