Verse One: Sir Mix-a-Lot
|
|
I'm living like hell in a world of death
|
Protectors of the people wear bullet-proof vests
|
Your little nephew, flipped him a Uzi
|
Took to the streets, shot em up and then "Who me?"
|
Locked in a trunk by Republican villains
|
Pinstripe suits, experts at killin
|
Civil war, but some want out
|
Trapped in a box called the ghetto we shout
|
Headin for the strip cuz the squares ain't hip
|
Sell a couple keys, make the home boys trip
|
The president is a dope man's friend
|
The governments strong but the dope got in
|
Punish the accused, but the trial was short
|
A black man's dogged in a all white court
|
The jury dismissed, prosecutor says, "Can em"
|
Now I'm ashamed of my national anthem
|

Am I a communist? No. But my brain ain't slow
|
Not long ago, Mix-a-Lot was po'
|
Never helped out by the ones with clout
|
I was mad at the world cause I felt left out
|
Stealin hub caps, stereos, anything to get paid
|
I realize I'm a modern day slave
|
Posse downtown, the sight was set
|
I saw my home boys mother with a buggy and a bag
|
People walk by, laughin at poverty
|
I looked in her face and I soon saw me
|
College educated, but she can't get a job
|
The american dream once again got robbed
|
Vietnam vets on the street, that's a shame
|
Fight for the man, and the man plays games

Dogged by the hippies, dope smokin' critics

You blame it on the soldier, but your government did it

|
My national anthem

My national anthem

|
Remember that lady that was broke, she's widdit
|
Started with a key, clocked 17 G's
|
Then got another shipment, pure D
|
Headin for Brumlen, the money was betta
|
Rollin in a Porsche, in a cashmere sweater
|
Crime, revenge, I'm tellin you this
|
The people that laugh are the people that knows
|
Her community complained, callin the police
|
But where was the community when she was in the street
|
Dope's comin in, it's killin em at random
|
And I'm ashamed of my national anthem
|
|
My national anthem
|
My national anthem
|
My national anthem
|
I'm ashamed of my national anthem
