What Has America Done Lyrics by Consequence

2023

[Intro]
What has America done for me?
Nothing but made me a zombie
Took away my uncle’s life
Gave me some [?] and some dead white man hanging from it
Teaching us about Mary had a little lamb
Mary was white
The lamb was white
And what about old Snow White?
Old mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to give her poor dog a bone
(Ronny J, please turn me up)
[Verse 1: Consequence]
My country, tis of thee, sweet land of Liberty
Same land where they lynchin’ me, for over more then four centuries
The plantations wherе they sent for me, plan for mе was penitentiaries
Psychological injuries, but still we rise to be kings and queens
But what has America done for me, besides take the swag and the sauce?
What has America done for me, besides make me kiss the ass of my boss?
What has America done for me? Taught me profit and loss?
Had me runnin’ from the cop on the horse, just so I could cop me the Porsche?
What has America done for me? Showed me Snow White with the Dwarfs?
In real life, my parents got divorced
Yeah, my roof’s the same as Black Thought's
See, we had the tracks when they bought beats
I’m at the blackboard with more to teach
Behind the backboard with them floor seats
To ‘bout to be the only black with a board seat
So what has America done for me? Taught me the words to the Spangled Banner?
But I saw what’s the trap when I came to Atlanta
And what has America done for you?
The land of opportunities and W’s
Or you catchin’ L’s and they snubbin’ you
And that’s enough reason to see you dragged
Yet we pledge allegiance to this flag
[Interlude]
I lied, she gave the dog a fake
And gave the bones to Negro’s
Next bone, pig feet’s ham, [?] guts
Made us guts eat heads
Whiskey consumed heads
Don’t use it
Uncle Tom niggas
That's what Americas done for me
Made me a robot, a Frankenstein, a puppet
What has America done for me?
Nothing, but made me a zombie
[Verse 2: Consequence]
America was built on the backs of slaves, and those black slaves they back and graves
Just without the accolades, or half the pay for the cash they made
They put they maid on the Aunt Jemima box
Broke up homes that had a mom and pop
So ain't no time for diving for a dumbass Sambo
Mary had a lamb but left her man for a Lambo
So what has America done for me, made everything black and white?
Sat me in the bookings for half the night, then put me on parole 'til I'm lackin', right?
And what has America done for me?
Show me that democracy got a Siamese twin named hypocrisy
But since I'm a genius like Socrates, I went out and sold people soccer tees
And at the end of working's a capitalism
And when you add that to when I rap with a rhythm, of course they're coming back with the venom
So what has America done for me, put the goal line further?
Accused me of murder? Fed me French fries and burgers?
Gave me high blood pressure? Took my resource and treasures?
Raped our women and mommies? Made us dope fiends and zombies?
Who say the gon' clean up, but just can't shake off the lean cup
And what has America done for you?
The land of opportunity and W's
