  • [Intro]
    Uh, yeah

    [Verse 1]
    Paranoid and pissed off
    Now that I got the money
    Fifty acres and a model A
    Right in the middle of Trump country
    I told you, "There goes a neighborhood"
    Now Mister Williams ain't so funny
    I see you looking out your window
    Can’t wait to call the police on me

    [Pre-Chorus]
    Well I know you think I'm up to somethin'
    I’m just eating, now we're still hungry
    And this is mine now, legit
    I ain't leavin' and you can't take it from me
    I remember when you used to tell me

    [Chorus]
    "Nigga run, nigga run
    Go back where you come from, uh
    Nigga run, nigga run
    Go back where you come from
    We don't want, we don't want your kind
    We think you's a dog born"
    Fuck you, I’m America’s son
    This is where I come from

    [Verse 2]
    Up 'til the sun comes up
    No, I can’t start grindin'
    And I can't let 'em break me
    No, I can’t let 'em fire me
    You can meet my friend the governor
    Only if you wanna try me
    Or you can meet my other friend, the judge
    Just in case you think I'm lyin'

    [Pre-Chorus]
    Well I know you think I'm up to somethin'
    I'm just eating, now we're still hungry
    And this is mine now, legit
    I ain't leavin' and you can't take it from me
    I remember when you used to tell me

    [Chorus]
    "Nigga run, nigga run
    Go back where you come from, uh

    Go back where you come from
    We don't want, we don't want your kind
    We think you's a dog born"
    Fuck you, I'm America's son
    This is where I come from
