American Flag

[Chorus]

Symbols of injustice and hatred

Confederate flag (bring it down)

Symbols of human enslavement

Confederate flag (bring it down)

But what about the red, white and the blue

American flag (bring it down)

Racists flew that flag when they captured you

American flag

[Verse 1]

I ain't here for selling shit

Me I came for telling it

I tell it like it is

So my people stay intelligent

We ending it

Racism, slavery, we ending it

This is why we bringing down the flag of the confederate

I share the same sentiment: Slavery is bad

But slavery was established by the american flag

Follow me

The american flag it flew in every colony

To break down the confederate only ia a hypocrisy

You bringing down one flag to raise up another

When both flags ensalved my sisters and my brothers

Yea man there were others

African, french, the portuguese

The english, the spanish, enslavers for all of these

So why raise any flag that killed my mom and my dad

Invaded my lands with plans to take up all that they had

I'm glad, the confederate flag is banned today

But the American flag is still flown by the KKK

[Chorus]

Symbols of injustice and hatred

Confederate flag (you gots to bring it down)

Symbols of human enslavement

Confederate flag (you gots to bring it down)

But what about the red, white and the blue

American flag (you gots to bring it down)

Racists flew that flag when they captured you

American flag

[Verse 2]

KRS, the right teacha

In the street I might see ya

Under the American flag blacks had no rights either

Women had no rights either, natives had no rights either

White abolitionist had to fight against white preacher

Red, white and blue should mean red, white and black

Blue was our indigo color, coming from way back

But the system is racist, when the murderers are acquitted

So we ride in the streets, then you say we shouldn't have did it

"they destroying their cty", man you don't get it

If this was my city I wouldn't be getting shot in it

Stopped in it, harressed, unemployed and always locked in it

While the guns, the polution and drugs are always trapped in it

Turn the tv off man, don't listen to all that

You a global citizen, you got to know all the facts

You a global citizen, you got to know how to act

Ask yourself, what does the American flag mean to Iraq?
