melrose - dear amerikkka lyrics
[intro: the monalyse]
dear amerikkka
i used to love you
i used to love you before i saw your true colors really show
i didn’t realize the red painted on that flag was the bloodshed from my people
the white was just proof that you’ll try to erase what you’ve done
try to erase where we came from
try to erase us
the blue is just the sadness that we will eventually overcome but god bless amerikkka right?
feet standing tall on the ground, hand pressed hard against my chest but these bullets flying making me second guess where i stand
oh but i used to love you
painting this picture of freedom
thinking we done overcame slavery
not knowing the plantation just got re_designed
massa’s mighty dollar might be the worst one
[verse: melrose]
don’t you, tell a lie about we
i tell the truth about you
and i’ll expose you for the demon you are
look at our scars
i’m so appalled but not surprised
seen the hatred in your eyes
wolves in sheep’s clothing
prolly paint it black as a disguise
black lives matters?
this is not coach_lla
these are real life matters
and we are not no actors (you feel me?)
this is years of oppression
we have never been equal
oh now y’all stand by our side? now we don’t believe you
you need more people
think i need a refill
on my elle varner tip, i probably would’ve jumped the ship
than to be a victim of your wicked prison
and corrupted system, y’all can have the silver and gold
cuz i prefer the wisdom
and lord knows it’s true
you a threat to me more than i am a threat to you
dear amerikkka, dear amerikkka
[monalyse]
oh but those stars
we are the stars
we are the light kept in that small little box in the corner from which you feed on and you take
taking our energy for your own self gain
taking our creativity for your own self fame
even took our original and gave us your own last name
and all we ever wanted in return was to matter
black lives matter shouldn’t even be an argument
but here you are saying we starting sh_t
but in actuality you might be right
we tryna start a change
tryna start a new life
a life in which you see all your children as equal instead of giving my people these secondary rights
we helped build all this sh_t
and please believe we tear all of it down
we learned from the best
dear amerikkka
i just want to be loved like i used to love you
but until then we fight
[verse: melrose]
don’t you, tell a lie about we
i tell the truth about you
and i’ll expose you for the demon you are
look at our scars
i’m so appalled but not surprised
they ain’t think that we would rise
above the ashes like a phoenix, we did it
y’all still threatened by our presence
probably mad cuz we’re gifted (get it?)
yo privilege showing every time we around you
nine one one yo favorite number to dial and
i know it’d gon’ be your word over mine and
y’all commit the crimes
while we the ones doing the time umm
i need a peace of mind
but lately it’s been hard to find
trouble all around my world
you got your foot on our necks
you see us gasping for air
we got our hands to the sky
we just tryna survive
another 24 hours from your systematic racism and gun powder
another one down, another mama crying
think we gon’ be silent bout it?
oh naw we bout to hit the gas and ride about it
rose, dear amerikkka
