lyrics

(André 3000) baby, grab the baby, cause baby, it ain't much time
Mama Earth is tossing and turning and that's a sign
dying and crying because of you

(Verse 1)

America — I’m not living in this lie
land of the native tribe, shadow of the genocide
ain’t hard to see, that since the colonizer brutalized
democracy, is just a system that can prove your lies
bloody hands, clean suit and tie
foolish pride while headed for suicide
why?.. bombs dropping out the sky over Palestine
you paid your taxes now look into that child’s eyes
is that your son or daughter that you see?
or would you say that this price we gotta pay so that we “free”
to this system all the people are commodities
and 20,000 children die every day from poverty
that’s deep, but the part that really bothers me...
it seems most of us think that this the way it gotta be
while the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting less
so tell me who’s next? with their plans in effect
I know it’s hard to take
but living in denial — things will never change

(André 3000) baby, grab the baby, cause baby, it ain't much time
Mama Earth is tossing and turning and that's a sign
Mama Earth is dying and crying because of you


(Verse 2)

can’t nobody live a lie like us
and block out innocent cries, with our eyes wide shut
one nation in a trance, in god we trust
every 4th of July, see the skies light up
while the bombs over Baghdad and over Pakistan
tell me who’s behind the master plan?..
the master hand of the puppet politicians slick talking
all I hear is false prophets and a broken promise
ain’t no real change
these republicrats all be on the same track
just different trains
people got possessions, but they mind enslaved
dreams of armageddon, see the sky in flames
are we supposed to die and just be giving up?
are we supposed to live and just not give a fuck?
and if “keep it real” is what you calling
giving praise to the slave owner’s face on the dollar, I ain’t with it
I’m saying — I believe there’s another option

(18)

(André 3000) she could not take it anymo'
raping her heavenly body like a ho
Mama Earth is dying and crying because of you
baby, grab the baby, cause baby, it ain't much time
Mama Earth is tossing and turning and that's a sign
