Verse 1
Am
America spend
Em
C
Dm
Em
Am
s millions of dollars each year to help other countries when
Em
C
Dsus4
America itself is falling apart.
Dm
Em
There are so many killings
Am
Em
going on in
C
America today, but everyone
Dm
seems to turn away from
Am
it.
Em
Dm
Clinton himself is not addressing the
Em
problems within the neighborhoods.
Am
Em
The only crimes that you're seeing on
C
Dm
Em
TV are those committed by the gangs,
Am
by the blacks,
by the
Em
Dm
Hispanics, and that's it.
But there are so many other
problems in
Em
America.
Am
Bm
Em
What happens when an innocent 16 -year -old
C
Dm
Em
Am
knocks on the wrong door by mistake an d is
Em
gunned down with a .44
Dm
D
Em
Magnum and the killer is set free?
America I'm living in?
Em
C
I really don't know.
I think
Dm
America has lost it and we
Bm
are truly falling apart.
Em
Bm
D
We need tighter gun control and
Dm
we need better places to stay.
Em
Am
Dm
Em
The finger always seems to be pointed at
Dm
C
Dm
the man that can't get a job, the ones
Am
that's on the street,
Bm
Em
C
Dm
and the people that are lost in this system.
Bm
Em
C
shows you this shiny pole made of
Dm
Em
stainless steel and they call this the
Dm
Bm
ladder of success.
Dm
America is not telling you
is that once you reach
It's so greased down,
Dm
Am
Dm
it's very hard to hold on.
Em
Dm
And I often find myself
Em
Dm
slipping back in to reality and facing
Am
Dm
Em
the same problems that I had to face as
Dm
a youngster.
Em
Am
Em
Sure, we've all made mistakes.
Dm
And when you become a failure to
America,
Am
America has a system that does
Em
Dm
away with people.
Em
Am
They call it prison. I call it
Em
C
Dm
Em
Every time I wake up and realize exactly what's going on,
Am
Em
I get so paired up with
America
C
Dm
till I don't know what to do.
Em
I've come to the point that
Am
when I see the
American flag,
Em
C
I get so sick until I wish
Dm
Em
I was from another country.
Am
Dm
I'm not proud of
Em
America, mainly because
Dm
America isn't proud of itself.
Em
Am
If you don't have an education,
Bm
Em
C
Dm
you will find it very hard to accomplish anything in life.
Am
Em
It's very good to stay in school
Dm
and get an education.
Em
But what about the people that
Dm
can't afford an education?
Am
Bm
Em
C
America spends so much money on foreign
Dm
Bm
affairs and never spends anything on
Em
America itself.
C
Dm
We are truly falling apart,
Em
and I'd like for
F
Em
Clinton and all our other leaders
C
Dm
to take time and realize that there's people like me
Em
Dm
Am
Em
stuck in the ghetto where I didn't
Dm
have an opportunity to do anything
Em
better than what I did in life.
Am
Dm
Em
I don't want my kids to grow up selling drugs,
C
Dm
Em
Am
killing, robbing, or any of this stuff, but
Em
This is the direction that
Dm
America has my little boy,
Em
Dm
Em
your little boy, your girl,
Dm
Em
and everyone part of it too.
You see,
C
Dm
America lets the drugs in,
Am
put the drugs in the black
Dm
Bm
community,
Em
Dm
and let us sell drugs.
And once we sold the drugs,
Em
Am
America locks us up for
Em
long periods of time.
C
And while we are there incarcerated,
Dm
there are no programs to
Em
Am
rehabilitate you.
And then
Em
C
America sets you back on the street
Dm
after going 14 years and expect for
Em
Am
you to be able to survive.
Em
Is this truly what
C
America is all about?
I don't really understand.
Dm
Am
Sometimes I find myself
Dm
living in a fantasy world,
Em
trying to make
Dm
America better than what it really is.
Em
Dm
Sure, I'm an
Em
American, but I must first be a black
Dm
Afro -American
C
Dm
so I can identify with myself
Em
Dm
an d realize the things that
Em
America has planned for me.
C
Dm
an d then I could gain and
use my strategy on
Em
Am
America itself.
Em
So
C
Clinton, an d to all our so -called
Dm
black leaders of the world,
Em
Dm
Am
let's get together and
Em
get this thing right.
Dm
Not only for the blacks, but for
Em
Am
Em
C
America.
