AMERIKKKAN IDOL

Lyrics

Yeah, uh, uh
 
 Turn the music up in the headphones
 Watch me get gone
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 Amerikkkan Idol, one hand on my bible, one hand on my rifle
 I'm aimin' at my rival, sure to leave him dead on arrival
 They say it's all about survival, never lackin' the vitals
 So I came to kill the game and still gave it revival
 I'm coming for the title, man it's best you throw in the towel
 Last nigga who tried to vow, now facin' a trial
 I'ma be here for a while, gettin' richie like Lionel
 Now she all up in denial 'cause she gettin' the dial
 While I'm only gettin' better, so she back on my D now
 I wanna be down but she denounced
 I got my shot, then made her, bounce
 Now you tryna rebound, I'm livin' in the now
 While the future figure me out
 Told mommy pick a place, yo, and we out
 'Cause Bed Stuy a little unsafe for me now
 That's why I keep the .40 loaded with no safety around
 Never thought I'd have to hold it, I'm just holdin' it down
 Protect my neck and my crown, patrol throughout the town
 And they judgin' just 'cause my skin color is brown
 And for that, they wanna leave me dead in the ground
 And have the nerve to blame it all on my background
 Sorry white Amerikkka, but I'm about to black out
 Got a message for the world and I won't back out
 So turn the kid raps loud, I'm about to spazz out
 Watch out, another nigga runnin' in the White House
 But I won't stop 'til this whole shit painted in all black
 And we on top, 'cause my people been paining before crack
 Media's got this whole thing tainted, that's all fact
 Feedin' you lies like this whole thing wasn't built on our backs
 Assimilate our history then made it a mystery
 Now they all inherit the bittersweet victory
 Look at what they did to me, can I get a witness please?
 Justice never served, reparations never sent to me
 It's clear who the enemy, they declare war on the end of me
 Assassinate my character, buryin' my entity
 But they can't kill my energy, so when it's said and done
 They forever gon' remember me
 The fuck is you tellin' me?
 Fuck is you tellin' me?
 Way more than a celebrity
 And fuck white supremacy, huh
 I'm out for dead presidents to represent me
 Dead fuckin' presidents to represent me
 I'm out for dead presidents to represent me
 Because I've never known a live one that represent me
 Well, dead presidents to represent me
 I'm out for dead presidents to represent me
 Dead fuckin' presidents to represent me
 Because I've never known a live one that represent me
 It's no contest, can't fuck with the congress
 Me and my niggas goin' off like bomb threats
 It's no contest, can't fuck with the congress
 Me and my niggas goin' off like bomb threats
 Me and my niggas goin' off like bomb threats
 Me and my niggas goin' off like bomb threats
 Me and my niggas goin' off like bomb threats
 Me and my niggas goin' off
 ♪
 This that Bada$$-assination
 Topic of conversation, my proclamation to the nation and its congregation
 Been makin' observations like it's my occupation
 Debatin' speculation like it ain't just second nature
 Thou shall love thy neighbor, don't let that nigga hate you
 'Cause he know where you lay up, when it's karma, time to pay up
 Climb the ladder of success, I'm steady on my way though
 Devisin' plans while you sleepin' I'm just tryna stay woke
 ♪
 You leave me no choice, I'm about to bring noise
 ♪
 Got to fill this void, I got to be the voice
 Yeah yeah yeah
 I said leave me no choice, about to bring noise
 Got to fill this void, I got to be the voice
 What the government is doin' amongst our people is downright evil
 Disturbin', but not surprisin', that's for certain
 With all of the conflict of propaganda
 I believe they are simply tryna slander
 Start a Civil War within the USA amongst
 Black and white and those alike
 They are simply pushin' us to our limit so that
 We can all get together and get with it
 They want us to rebel, so that it makes easier
 For them to kill us and put us in jails
 Alton Sterlings are happenin' every day
 In this country and around the world
 The scary part, boys and girls
 Is most of these stories don't make it to the news
 And reach mass consciousness
 It is for sure time that we as a people stand up for acknowledgement
 And accomplishment of what we call human rights
 It is time to rebel, better yet, raise hell
 I just want everyone to be cautious about how they go about it
 Because this is all part of the government's
 Plan and what they been plottin'
 They're literally beggin' for this to happen, so they can kill us off
 Usin' uprisin' and rebellion as the excuse in a timely fashion
 The cancerous foods, the chemical warfare
 Economic sufferin' is not workin' fast enough
 There are many steps ahead of us
 And manifestin' the future that they want
 We have to work together, not only rattlin'
 Them on a physical plane
 But to outsmart them on an intellectual mental level the same
 As black men, I think our gangs need to do a better job at protectin' us
 The people, our communities and not assistin' in destroyin' them brutally
 It's time to even the score
 'Cause who do we call when the police break the law?
 We are so quick to pick up a gun and kill one another
 But not quick enough to pick it up and protect each other
 The code words to killin' a black man by police is, "He's got a gun"
 Damned if he do, damned if he don't, damned if he runs
 Or what about them? Them murderers got it
 We need solutions, you better start plottin' now
 It's always been clear that they don't value our lives
 My people been sufferin' way too long
 And I'm tired of singin' the same old song
 People actin' like this shit isn't happenin', it's downright wrong
 Justice won't be served by a hashtag, and that's the very reason I ask that
 What are we to do? We're scattered around
 With no clue of this ugly truth
 All we know is who they ridiculed and who gets minisculed
 Time to wake the fuck up and do our own research
 And not form opinions based on just what we've heard
 Ameri-K-K-K-a is force feedin' you lies down your throats with a silver spoon
 And eventually, we'll all be doomed
 Real, real, real soon
