Verse 1 America’s colors — red, white, and blue, I’d commit this to memory if I were you. For when you see red, white, and blue and gold, It’s a message to you… that you’ve been sold — Down the river that is… You may now realize that you’re a slave, It happened when your momma accidentally gave Your life away… In the birthing ward that day. Verse 2 An informant came in and gave her a slip, While she was on drugs — epidural drip. And this was sadly when your status was changed, Slave owners are deranged… (slave owners are deranged) So here we are now, in the same slave boat, Please help each other to stay afloat, While we unlearn the lies that we were told, When we were sold. Chorus Please try to have compassion along the way, For we were all lied to just the same. And we’re at different stages on the path, So please stand with me and take a vow — To reclaim your freedom and help each other somehow. Freedom belongs to the world, And I am just an American girl. Verse 3 I know it’s not easy, but it’s what we must do, There’s a lot for me to cover in this little tune. I’ll give you the meat and potatoes, It won’t take long — I’ll hold your hair while you vomit through the shock, As the cognitive dissonance wears off. You’ll be targeted with hatred, gossip, and scoff, But stay in your lane and hold the light of truth. For we’re giving you the tools here today, So you can correct your status and be on your way. And never again be caught up in their web. Bridge I hope one day you’ll decide to be free, Then you can join in the jubilee. As we welcome one another hand in hand, Thank you to all the free and the brave — America and the life you gave, Ensuring all God’s children would be free. Final Chorus Freedom belongs to the world, And I am just an American girl. Who stands for freedom, For you and me… Yes, I am just an American girl — Standing for freedom, for you and me.
