Mother Amerikkka Lyrics

You're dealing with a criminal government here
These are criminals in power
And it didn't start with Bush
Thinkin' that you making progress
Where the hell is the progress for the masses of your people who are going backwards?

Temptation of enemy, how does man avoid it?
Took away his profits handed him the poison
Gave him ten commandments and a pamphlet to follow
This world's like a xanny: too massive to swallow
Regurgitated what I consumed
At times I wish I could've stayed in the womb
Somebody, anybody, what's the worth of a black life?
Or even a brown one? I heard they get found son
When his noodle's hanging outside of his dome
Mama gotta pay for the funeral, need a loan
She'll be lucky if his murder even make the news
I feel a pain like Billy when she sang the blues
'Bout the strangest fruit, have to have a bite
Blame America for my appetite
I even heard the new KKK is Kim, Kylie, and Kanye
Mother Amerikkka

Tell me how could you take my smile away from me
You said you love me, but you lie, you lie, you lie
Tell me how could you take my smile away from me
You said you love me, but you lie, you lie, you lie

Yo Lady Liberty got a pentagram in her vagina
Ever seen a tommy gun in the hands of a minor?
Ever seen a cop grab his cannon and fire
At somebody unarmed? A brother bodily harmed
Feel like I don't belong, I want eye on the law
Thinkin' if they kill us one by one—problem resolved
I might get Willie Lynch'd for this rhyme
A pinch with some time, my face on a picket sign
A nation on fire while money's the messiah
Even treat they own presidents like pariahs
Wish it was simply black and white, no Mariah
In the USA the hue is Freddie Gray
Confusion infused with the ignorance
I wonder if I'm a citizen or an immigrant
They have the nerve to call my family illegal
We all spinnin' on the axis of evil
Mother Amerikkka

Tell me how could you take my smile away from me
You said you love me, but you lie, you lie, you lie
Tell me how could you take my smile away from me
You said you love me, but you lie, you lie, you lie

No justice for Alton Sterling or Bettie Jones
Miguel Espinal, Nathaniel Picket, Philando
That's the taste of a Bland decision
Abulances, families panic-stricken
Lie in a casket or you could land in prison
That ultimatum still stands in the land we live in
All it took was a few grams, got my man convicted
It's harder being Dante than being Darren Wilson
So N-O-T-O-R-I-O-U-S in the U.S
She down, blow
In debt, confess we owe each other a lot
Still I hug her like she the only mother I got
Even though she threw shade on the sunniest spots
Turned every one of her sons into something they not
I been insane since I came out her stomach
I don't know how else to say I'm in love with Mother Amerikkka

Tell me how could you take my smile away from me
You said you love me, but you lie, you lie, you lie
Tell me how could you take my smile away from me
You said you love me, but you lie, you lie, you lie

Fashawn

Born in 1988 in Fresno, California, Fashawn grew up in a virtually parentless home. His father was incarcerated, while his mom was focused on feeding her drug addiction - a combination that caused a boy to become a man quicker than most. Placed in a group home by child services at the age of 12, Fashawn found solace in music, and began writing rhymes to escape the less than desirable hand he had been dealt so early in life.

Eventually taken in by his uncle, Fashawn spent his teenage years calling First & Shields Ave in Fresno, California his home. Here is where he would find skating, the distractions of the streets, and the pursuance of his music career to be more rewarding than school. Yet, he had a constant thirst for knowledge that extended beyond the streets, so he became an avid reader with an affinity towards non-fiction and motivational books.

In 2006, Fashawn released his first mixtape, “Grizzly City”. Catching the attention of fellow Fresno emcee, Planet Asia, Fashawn was invited to go on the road with him. Knowing this was a chance of a lifetime; the then 17-year-old emcee dropped out of school to follow his dreams and has never looked back.

Since then he’s had the honor of working with two of the Mid-West’s premier DJs, Mick Boogie and Terry Urban on the Orisue clothing sponsored “One Shot One Kill” mixtape, and with Hip-Hop internet heavyweights OnSmash.com and NahRight.com on his “Higher Learning” mixtape. Both efforts garnered him nationwide recognition.

Fashawn has also been fortunate enough to work in the studio with DJ Muggs, DJ Khalil, Evidence, The Alchemist, Aloe Blacc, U-N-I, and Planet Asia, as well as on the stage with The Roots.

Recognized as a leader in Central California's hip hop scene, steering a vibrant pack of young artists with his innovative style and originality in his music, Fashawn is more than ready to take on the world with his debut album Boy Meets World. Produced entirely by Los Angeles native Exile, “’Boy Meets World’ is just a story about a kid growing up,” explains Fashawn. “It’s my story, it’s very honest, it’s very in depth. So whatever you thought you knew about me, listen to this and you’ll really get a good look at who I am. It’s going to be classic.” FRY ONE Read more on Last.fm.
