[Verse] Got deported from my own land (Damn) Ayo what the fuck is this? (Fuck) White people tellin' us to go home Bitch you took us from our home (True) Gave us food we didn't eat Poisoned us with a chemical (Ew) Now I'm smokin' chemicals (Gas) Got our brothers in a cell (Damn) Sendin' our babies to hell Tell me why do they want us to fail? They don't want us to prevail And if I ever go to jail Will you come and pay my bail? And will you come and pay my bail? Welcome to America Where they killin' us like dogs ICE shootin' innocent Cops shootin' innocent President startin' wars Takin' oil from other countries Who told you that you needed that American dream? The blood of indigenous people waters these trees I never went to school but they taught me how to read When I die Tell them "Bury me a G" These police get paid just to murder us for free Take our bodies for collateral Tell our mothers to grieve They throwin' ICE on these kids They ain't even did a thing So I'ma tell you why I keep this semi-auto thing Listen [Chorus] Welcome to America Where they killin' us like dogs ICE shootin' innocent Cops shootin' innocent President startin' wars Takin' oil from other countries Somebody tell me why [Verse 2] God told me "If you want it Better go and get it" I'm sellin' dope to all the white kids in the college with it I ain't have no guidance Only had a bunch of co-defendants I can't count on both hands how many I know in prison If the system don't get you Then these streets will For a pint of lean These n****s catch a refill For the love of green The same color as teal My heart been on chill Just a different type of ill See [Chorus] Who told you that you needed that American dream? The blood of indigenous people waters these trees I never went to school but they taught me how to read When I die Tell them "Bury me a G" These police get paid just to murder us for free Take our bodies for collateral Tell our mothers to grieve They throwin' ICE on these kids They ain't even did a thing So I'ma tell you why I keep this semi-auto thing Why? Welcome to America Where they killin' us like dogs President startin' wars ICE shootin' innocent Cops shootin' innocent Takin' oil from other countries Somebody tell me why [Verse 3] I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto They don't care about you or me They just want our babies to be bastards They wanna take our kids away from us And we can't even go to our brothers' funerals in peace Because they wanna take pictures and put them on T-shirts Why? [Chorus] Who told you that you needed that American dream? The blood of indigenous people waters these trees I never went to school but they taught me how to read When I die Tell them "Bury me a G" These police get paid just to murder us for free Take our bodies for collateral Tell our mothers to grieve They throwin' ICE on these kids They ain't even did a thing So I'ma tell you why I keep this semi-auto thing Why? Welcome to America Where they killin' us like dogs President startin' wars ICE shootin' innocent Cops shootin' innocent Takin' oil from other countries Somebody tell me why [Verse 4] If I ever said I was okay I was lyin' We ain't trippin' over here We really dyin' From police violence How they act like we ain't tryin'? I was told that life is good But I really hate survivin' For the little boys and girls that's cryin' We just tryna make it home We just wanna go to Zion A lot of folks ain't had a fair trial So I wonder If all these politicians go to jail Who gon' pay they bond?
