[Verse 1] The president said, "Drill, baby, drill!" Renamed the Gulf like he payin’ the bill Poison in the water, cash in his hand Waving that flag while he robs the land Oil spills, fish float—who give a damn? Long as the money flow, long as it stand Tanks roll in, yeah, war gets paid Blood on the beaches, but stocks get made [Verse 2] Governor smirkin’, "Thoughts and prayers!" Bodies in the flood while he’s safe upstairs Joked ‘bout hurricanes—ain’t that sick? Drowning in lies while they cash in quick They don’t pray for the people, just pray for their wealth Leave us to burn while they feast on the health Bibles in one hand, bullets in the next Blessings from heaven, but the devil cuts checks [Chorus] Ain’t that America? Built to decay Watch it all burn while they laugh in our face Hol’ up—ain’t that America? Land of the thieves Take what they want, then they watch us bleed [Verse 3] My people cry out, "Man, we outta luck!" Another baby born just to get stuck Teacher caught sick, can’t afford no meds Government crooks got ‘em brainwashed dead They cut the checks, but not for the poor They fundin’ the cops, not feedin’ the war They call it freedom while they tighten the chains A nation of slaves still stuck in the game [Verse 4] Young bloods runnin’, ain't no way out High as the sky just to drown the doubt Said they gon’ make it, but the block too hot Either duck the feds or end up shot Prisons stay full, they ain't lettin’ ‘em go They buildin’ more cells while the schools stay broke Dreams get crushed, and the streets get cold Land of the free, but they sellin’ your soul [Chorus] Ain’t that America? Built to decay Watch it all burn while they laugh in our face Hol’ up—ain’t that America? Land of the thieves Take what they want, then they watch us bleed [Verse 5] Rich stay rich, poor stay down Laws get flipped when the right palms drown Pimps and the preachers, the suits and the snakes All sellin’ lies while they raise the stakes They feed you poison, call it a dream Give you a flag, then silence your scream Ain’t that America? Ain’t it divine? Die for the dollar, but they call it a crime
