"Raised In America"

"Raised In America, kids don't have a chance when they're raised in America,
Raised In America, look down at the world when you're raised in America,
Raised In America, Slave to the dollar when you're raised in America,
Raised in America, Something's got to give for the raised in America,

And What can you say in America,
When teenagers get hysteria,
'Cause the pastors at church give 'em gonorrhea
Don't know if their classmates are carryin'
Can they hold down a GPO
Or will they get mowed down by the A K?
Will they live long enough to graduate,
When you need kevlar to get through the day
They got snapchat, instagram, tik tok, got What's App
Got self shots by naked girls,
Got cyber bullies breaking all the rules
STD's from group sex, suicides from group text
Study groups for big tests get group rates for percosets
Culture shocked and obsessed, over worked, over stressed
Marketing overt sex, dulling their alertness,
5 year old's on adderall so doped up they can't read at all
American dreams are the root cause, cause everybody wants it all

Shopping malls with discounts,
Gotta bling bling with my wrist out,
Got to law a way at the checkout,
Cause I can't afford this right now,
Buy today, pay tomorrow, credit cards, beg and borrow
Get the bill and I'm feelin' sorrow,
Closet's full but I'm feelin' hollow,
Modern times got us feelin' sick,
Gotta talk to the therapist,
Can't get in without full insurance,
Marathons take less endurance,
Grab the bottle, turn it up,
Drink it straight from solo cups,
Need the weed just to get to sleep,
Been gave up on countin' sheep,
Got newscasts in every ear, got anything you wanna hear
Pick your channel, pick your poison,
Choose your side, your path is chosen,
They tell you what to think, they tell you what to say
I hope we all wake up, before it's too late,

Racist cops, beating kids, shooting up the innocent,
In danger if you're not white, if you go out at night,
Hell, they'll shoot you in daylight, plantin' evidence on site,
Miss a month of work, still get paid,
But in the ground is where their victims lay,
At work snatched by ICE raids,
Families forced to separate,
Kids come up in the foster state,
The cycle gets to reciprocate,
We can spend a billion dollars just to build some missiles yall,
But can't provide the things that kids and teachers need for school in fall,
California to Mississippi, all the way up to New York City,
All aboard if you're comin' with me,
We're here to fight the hypocrisy,
Fight for those that don't got a chance,
Bang your head if you can't dance,
Stand for those that can't stand,
Kneel when they play the anthem,"
