  • Uh, my mind's filled with mine fields
    The ashes fall, the wine spills
    The world stops, drops and rolls
    It's Judgment Day or a fire drill
    Yea, I pour out my heart, have a drink
    They say the drunk never lie, they ain't never lyin yea
    My country tis of thee,
    Sweet land of kill 'em all and let em die

    God bless Amerika
    This so godless Amerika
    Heard tomorrow ain't promised today
    The end of time is like a hour away
    Damn, military minded, lost and can't find it
    The stars on the flag are never shining
    Uh, I saw a butterfly in hell today
    Will I die or go to jail today?
    'Cause I live by the sword and die by the sword
    Heard police was looking for me, I'mma hide by abroad
    Shootin stars in my pocket, bitch sit on my rocket
    I'm wired off a socket, but still shockin
    Everybody wanna tell me what I need
    You can play a role in my life but not the lead
    If there's food for thought then I'm guilty of greed
    Mama said take what you want, I took heed yea

    My little breed, yea

    Back to life, back to reality
    Been eating my girl and she's so sweet, got cavities
    Granted we do it for vanity not humanity
    But what's appealing to me is under banana trees, love
    I go so hard, I tried to pay homage but I was overcharged
    Ain't that a bitch?
    I'm just a nut tryna bust a nut in the nut shell
    Used to say fuck the police, now I say fuck jail
    Same shit, different air freshner
    I don't play boy, I ain't Hugh Hefner
    Tryna be a step ahead, but a few feet behind
    Two fingers to my head, pop! Peace of mind
    I be in the cloud, cloud number 9
    And I just fucked the clock and let it come to time
    It's a cold world, I put on a mink
    There's a chain of commands, I'm the missing link

    God bless Amerika
    This so godless Amerika
    I heard tomorrow ain't promised today
    And I'm smoking on them flowers, catch the bouquet

    Here we live by the sword and die by the sword
    The police is looking for me, I'mma hide by abroad
    Shootin' stars in my pocket, bitch sit on my rocket
    I'm wired off a socket, but still shockin'
    Everybody wanna tell me what I need
    You can play a role in my life but not the lead
    I saw a butterfly in hell today
    Will I die or go to jail today? Writer/s: Andre Lyon, Beresford Romeo, Bryan Williams, Caron Wheeler, Dwayne Carter, Jermaine Preyan, Marcello Valenzano, Nellie Hooper, Simon Law
