American Nightmare

[Hook]

It's an American Nightmare

We don't fight fair

We take lives here

Done gone

[Verse One: Brother Ali]

Untouchable

Rain, sun or cool

Breeze, ease, the pain crack another brew

Ghetto public school, leak rain from the roof

Troubled youth, was your name?

Straight from the womb

Cycle coming true

Your father flew through the same trap door that you'll one day plummet through

Ain't nothing new

Rugged like a hundred proof

Place where they say the easy way is jumping from the roof

Police coming through

They rough

Hand cuff, G

Grab knucks, points guns at you no matter what you do

How the quote unquote justice move

If you protect us then who protect us from you?

There's a couple youth

Workers but they're few

Far between, they can't reach but one or two

You only bustin' loose

When you got numbers glued to your back

Whether that's a jersey or a jump suit

You wonder what you do to make the world punish you

That's when your sense of right and wrong start to come aloof

Hustlers recruit

Right in front of school

Fuck the rules

You literally got nothing to loose

They show it on the news

Them people judging you

As if you had a fuckin' chance this is what you choose

Can't sing nothing but the blues

Americas Nightmare the God's honest truth

[Hook] - 2X

[Verse Two: Scarface]

I'm barely grown

I'm lost all alone

Out on my own

My mind gone

Pocket with stones

And I pitch to these unknowns

Cops tend to roll undercover trying to bust us

But cops get they head flown

I'm in a dead zone

I ain't supposed to be here

I'm a ghost with a pistol blowin' smoke totin' weed here

See here?

The fine print you ain't read there

The I-don't-give-a-fuck-part

Approach you where you sleep at

Black

Your whole world seems to fade to it

And I'm a passer-by acting like I ain't do it

It's plain stupid

The drugs must have done that

As you bleed I get the dry heave

Nauseous because I can't vomit

Something

Wicked this way cometh

The ending of days

God promise

That's brung us

To the point where we at now

And I have come to far for me to back down

These devilish ways

These voices I hear from the grave

Speak to me saying "Kill that motherfucker", I'm a slave to it

[Hook]
