[Hook]
It began with a declaration, Manifest Destiny in sight Founding Fathers’ motivation — inalienable rights, God’s creation, pure light Representative republic, Constitution broke the crown’s fascination 1776 — the shot heard ’round the world, sparked the American Revolution!
We the people, still standing after two hundred fifty Through the fire, the blood, the doubt — we stayed alive, we stayed gritty Celebrate us, celebrate our two fifty Remember who we are — not who they want us to be!
[Verse 1]
Thirteen colonies locked in, one solution, independence the resolution Union formation, broke the chains, started building the nation Louisiana Purchase doubled the map, vision in execution War of 1812 — small in scale but proved our young nation’s constitution
Slavery’s dark persecution, Civil War pushed us to the edge of dissolution Lincoln held the line, freed the slaves, then fell to assassination Human rights evolution, long road to absolution 1876 — Custer’s last stand at the Centennial Exposition
Revolutionary communication, Frederick Douglass spoke the truth so plain “American of the Americans” — claimed the dream through the pain From the founders’ quill to the battlefield rain We were writing our story, chapter by chapter, again and again
[Verse 2 ]
World War One then Two, fighting wrongs was the thing we do Korea, Vietnam too — mistakes made, yeah the record’s true Political football, tossed between me and you But the eagle still flew
Kennedy shot for the moon, giant leap for the human race Nixon cracked China’s door but Watergate left disgrace ’76 — Carter’s stagflation had the whole country losing faith Reagan brought the revolution, morning in America, economic boom in every place
War on drugs declared while the CIA lied to every face Still we chased that shining city on a hill, the beacon of grace Through the highs and the lows, the wins and the waste We kept marching forward at our own relentless pace
[Verse 3 ]
Read my lips said GHB, No new taxes a big tease. 
Desert Storm answered Kuwait’s plea
Clinton said he didn’t inhale at the party, left doubt on the breeze “What is, is” — nothing to see, but the truth don’t stay buried here didn’t have relations just  did what he pleased
The balanced budget and reform his greatest glory 
 9/11 — towers fell under GWB, terrorists struck the heart of thee We answered in one, two, three — Afghanistan and Iraq overseas Too big to fail, bank bailouts — nothing in this life is free
Obama’s hope and change, the country did seize
Mo’ money spent, it grows on trees, the middle class squeezed Bin Laden killed like a dog with fleas, justice served for the families But Benghazi disaster, global citizen at the world party
Yeah we clung to guns, God, and even apathy
[Verse 4]
Golden escalator descended, Trump took the crown against the machine Fake stories manufactured to take him down, but he stayed on the scene COVID shut the whole town, government overreach all around Mo’ money printed on shaky ground while the people hit the ground
Biden came in with a frown, inflation began to drown Questionable if the mind was sound, disastrous Afghan pull-out, chaos profound But Elon brought free speech back — X marks the spot where the truth gets found
Now it’s Make America Great Again, part two — the sequel is here Tariffs on, payments due if you don’t play fair this year Democrats suing every move, but the people don’t fear Assassination attempts one and two — still standing, crystal clear
Bombs on Iran, no nukes for you — peace through strength, the doctrine sincere Plugging the Strait of Hormuz, energy dominance, America renewed FIFA World Cup on home soil — the world stage, we renewed Remembering why we’re great, the exceptional nation, the red, white, and blue
[Final Hook / Outro]
Celebrate us — celebrate our two fifty! From the shot in ’76 to the stars in 2026, this is our history Through every chapter, every scar, every victory Two hundred fifty years strong — God bless America, carry on!
Two fifty strong… Two fifty strong… We still here. We still free. Two fifty strong.
