America the ugly, raped my mother
Deceived my sister, separated my brother
Murdered my children, hung my father
Now they want me to rock the vote, the fucks why bother?
Seen them commercials for the army of whatever
Picture me giving a damn, I said never!
My mind's too short my brain's too clever
My spine is too strong every line pulls your lever
Limitless rhymes for the indigenous the remedy
PLAT! Getting' my money like the Kennedy's
Flip it! Put em' in stocks collect anemities
Rock, roll behold my epiphanies and
Read 'em and weep, heat I beat 'em to sleep
Mislead 'em until we even-steven defeat 'em with freedom of speech
And we let them know that I'm the motherfuckin' fire-starter
Piss on the constitution then burn the Magna Carta

All I know is what I feel
Deceive my eyes and distort what's real
Only truth will set you free
I rather die on my feet than to live on my knees

We dying over black gold they harvest in the sand
Presidents living marvelous, they starving in Sudan
It's obvious we walk a blind path to oblivion
The book of judges read the scriptures unlike Gideon
Light my fire, start my engine
When Pharaohe becomes Moses it's medicine for who listens
A veteran with the might bringing with prophecy to fruition

Caught on the mainframe I see the maze man
They watch you from the street light you and your main man
The bar code around your neck same as your name brand
You're lost in strange land no thoughts of a game plan

All I know is what I feel
Deceive my eyes and distort what's real
Only truth will set you free
I rather die on my feet than to live on my knees

Piss on the constitution, then burn the Magna Carta
Piss on the constitution, then burn the Magna Carta
Piss on the constitution, then burn the Magna Carta
Piss on the constitution, then burn the Magna Carta
Piss on the constitution, then burn the Magna Carta
Piss on the constitution, then burn the Magna Carta
Piss on the constitution, then burn the Magna Carta
Piss on the constitution, then burn the Magna Carta
