zayah - AMERICA Lyrics

I wake up chasing money, go home and then go to sleep
Then dream about some things, some things I've never seen
Well I hope this shit's attainable
But if not
Then the clock is what I'm aiming for
Pull trigger, let that thing explode
I'm killing time
F*ck just getting by, motherf*cker, I'm getting mine
I'm taking anything and everything, I know I'm owed
Cause I know I'm a lot more than just young, dumb, and broke
I mean this shit's no joke
But see lately I've been pondering
Working in astonishment
Thinking that there's gotta be some more to life
I've been working nine to five
F*ck that
Nine to nine
I put in overtime and shit ain't got me feeling right
See we sell our soul to corporations just to make a dollar
Forever chasing comma just to try to see tomorrow
It's America, welcome to America
America, yeah, welcome to America
What, what
I said America, yeah, welcome to America
I got a wallet full of dreams and a pocket full of hope
My car always be on E, I don't know if I'll make it home
I'm getting sick and tired of cooking ramen on the stove
Lately I've been thinking about upgrading it to dope
So I can see the other side of that poverty line
If I do that my fines might be on the decline
If I just move a little weight and put some food on my plate
But is it worth the toll my soul might take
See I don't know
So for now I'll just dance with these thoughts
As I debate with myself how much these dollars gon' cost
Is it the system that's been holding me back
Am I a victim of their plan of attack
It was the land of the free and home of the brave
Until they came and colonized and took that all away
Built off the back of genocide and the enslaved
Welcome to the U.S. of the motherf*cking A
America, yeah, welcome to America
What, what
I said America yeah, welcome to America
America, yeah, welcome to America
What, what
I said America, yeah, welcome to America
