[Intro: Marley Marl]
Here, where's the Black man in America mentally dead..
[Chorus: Chuck D & Tragedy]
America eats the young
America eats the young
Yeah, Traged'
America eats the young
America eats the young
Yeah, come on
[Verse 1: Tragedy]
America eats the young, that's the title
Black-On-Black-Crime is suicidal
Racial outburst, killed in Bensonhurst
Now he's free in the universe
Killed the cop, he's unworthy
Murdered that poor black boy in Jersy
There's no sorrow, but you can borrow
America kills tommorrow
Get a grip and, time is slippin'
Howard Beach, Michael Griffin
To Halliburton, Larry Davis
These are the exemples America gave us
Pain inserter, Black converter
Mr. President, he's the murderer
Brothers waitin' for the Government to save them
Instead of usin' the minds the Lord gave them
High School drop out, now you clocked out "come on"
Did a crime, got caught and you copped out
Incarcerated, you're just hate it
Made your bed, but you don't wanna lay in it
No probations, black and racin' "come on"
My founation is the Nubian Nations "let them know somethin"
Culture saker, political faker
Black raper, molder and maker "Ugh"
Where is my mule and fourty eight acres? "aiy"
Abraham Linclon, dead and stinkin'
Use your brain black men start thinkin' "give it them"
I refuse to die 'til my job is done "give it them"
America eats the young
Here, where's the Black man in America mentally dead..
[Chorus: Chuck D & Tragedy]
America eats the young
America eats the young
Yeah, Traged'
America eats the young
America eats the young
Yeah, come on
[Verse 1: Tragedy]
America eats the young, that's the title
Black-On-Black-Crime is suicidal

Now he's free in the universe
