AMERIKKKA by Xiuhtezcatl Lyrics
This what you’ve been waiting for you didn’t know (didn't know) Long journey
These waters we ain’t been before (been before)
People paint an image I ain’t livin tho
I learned from my darkness when they closed the door (in the dark) Osha on the stones
Bring in seven more (yuh yuh)
Watched him cut his braid
He ain’t healing more (yuh yuh) I been saying less
I been praying more
I ain’t famous yet
I’m sick of wanting more
Wake up to the bad dreams
They been all around
You can hear the voices asking bout the crown How we go survive when it all burn down Everything go fall they go take it all
Down, down Down, down Down, down They go take it all Down, down Down, down Down, down They go take it all
I’m sick of how everyone talking they counting they money This shit isn’t funny
They scattered my people we running
The bullets is flying we crossing the borders
They love it
Splitting our families, caging the children Poison the water everywhere we living Flashbacks to them raiding the village
ICE rides they ain’t feeling no different (ICE)
They came in they ships (came in they ships) Colonizing for the crown
Different day same shit
But my people still around (mi gente) Unloading a clip (loading the clip)
Bodies scattering the ground We know what all this shit about Our time, burn it down
Make sure you say that shit with 3 k’s Amerikkka, chase the paper still no free slaves Water drying up in the heat wave
Money power that’s why we pray
Wake up to the bad dreams
They been all around
You can hear the voices asking bout the crown How we go survive when it all burn down Everything go fall they go take it all
Down, down Down, down Down, down They go take it all Down, down Down, down Down, down They go take it all
Running through my veins Running through my veins Trauma and the pain Balancing the greatness
I been switching lanes
I been cutting ties
Mundo bello y loco Watch it through my eyes
I’m seeing the end I’m seeing the end
They switching the sides Ain’t got no more friends
If you ain’t the land Or part of the fam Then you on the edge
They blurring the lines They here for the climb They painting it red
I see it’s all red
I’m seein the end
Make sure you say that shit with 3 K’s AMERIKKKA, chase the paper still no free slaves Water drying up in the heat wave
Money power that’s why we prey
Wake up to the bad dreams
They been all around
You can hear the voices asking bout the crown How we go survive when it all burn down Everything go fall they go take it all
Down, down Down, down Down, down They go take it all Down, down Down, down Down, down They go take it all
They go take it all They go take it all
These waters we ain’t been before (been before)
People paint an image I ain’t livin tho
I learned from my darkness when they closed the door (in the dark) Osha on the stones
Bring in seven more (yuh yuh)
Watched him cut his braid
He ain’t healing more (yuh yuh) I been saying less

Wake up to the bad dreams
They been all around
