Flatbush Zombies – Best American Lyrics

{Bridge – Erick Arc Elliott}
Hey, I’m just doing everything that I can “I can”
Never been jealous of the white man
Black skin, I’m not better, I’m just different
He ain’t never sold drugs, this is all a false image, hey

{Chorus – Erick Arc Elliott}
Who’s the best American? Is it you?
And I say never love again, but I do
Whole planet under sieze boy, that’s how we do
And they know we keep a blind eye to hide the truth
Who’s the best American? Is it you?
And I say never love again, but I do
Whole planet under seize ni-ga, that’s how we do
And you know we keep a blind eye to hide the truth

{Verse 1 – Erick Arc Elliott}
Pay a load of tax, take it out your check
Boy, I know you know this debt
Til you hesitate and right before you purchase that
New chain, new fame, original black
We are well-anointed with the knowledge of the slaves
Land of the free, yeah, home of the brave
Hard to close my eyes at night, I’m dreaming of the day
Dark terrors in the ferry, turn the world grey
Somehow we gotta pray, it ain’t ’bout religious praise
This is real shit, ni-ga this is not a phase
Born afflicted, misinformed children on the way
Eyes teary, blind feary, crying to be saved
Find another way, while escaping, a rude awakening
While we caged in, abomination
Clean water for the cavemen, salutations
Signing off with a molotov, throwing salt
While we marching off for the common cause

{Chorus – Erick Arc Elliott}
Who’s the best American? Is it you?
And I say never love again, but I do
Whole planet under seize boy, that’s how we do
And they know we keep a blind eye to hide the truth
Who’s the best American? Is it you?
And I say never love again, but I do
Whole planet under seize ni-ga, that’s how we do
And they know we keep a blind eye to hide the truth

{Verse 2 – Zombie Juice}
This a new world, artificial
Second brain in my pocket, tell me how that live through
Y’all don’t hear me
Unless I talk about my skin tone, and what comes with it
If you live it then you stand strong, that’s how we do it
Ain’t no father figure, live n’ learn
Gotta get the money little ni-ga making earns
Another day, another cop killed an honest man
Black skin, young-aged, probably had a kid, it never ends
They say government control the weather
How we busting all these guns but we can’t get together
Start a, and make that bread together
Are they crooks, are they pedophiles or politicians
Plotting FDA poisoning our children now
That’s how we living, throwing ni–as in prison
Unlivable conditions, repeat offender
Brown, broke
That’s the agenda, never surrender
Keep your eyes wide shut, nicca

{Verse 3 – Meechy Darko}
Say “God bless America”
To the red, white, blue noose on my neck, wyling for respect
Guess freedom ain’t free, huh?
Really wanna see a difference, kill some politicians
Red men get executed and forgotten
Black men spent 200 years picking cotton
Now they poison our minds and put shackles on our conscious
But they will never get mine, never get mine, dawg I promise
Black Americans (?)
(?)
Promise my mama, I see mañana, no matter what it is
Coppers be killing ni–as for nada, that shit gotta end
You probably think slavery’s abolished homie they got your brain
Never forget what they did to the man with the moccasin

[{Outro}
“We are all the problem, when we don’t make sure our dollars stay in our communities for more than six hours. We are all the problem when we don’t make sure that our children are safe going to the public school, to prison pipeline. We are all the problem when we don’t hold school, our children, after school. We are all the problem when we lay down and expect somebody else to do the work for us. We are all the problem when we don’t stand up to oppression. We are all the problem if we go back into slavery. That makes us all the problem.”
