Once Upon a Time Lyrics by Mesus

The Raptivist

2020

[Intro]
Good morning, boys and girls
Hi, Mesus
Today, were gonna talk about America
America? What's that?
America's a place that existed, long ago

[Hook]
I remember once upon a time, in a land called America
'Merica
I remember once upon a time, in a land called America
'Merica

[Verse]
Yeah, welcome to America
We the biggest gang, on the planet
Think we ain't, shit
Why you think them gangs call it flaggin'?
If we want it, then we take it
When we takе it, we ain't askin'
This is basic, like a t-shirt
We Amеrican savage!
But, don't you dare say faggot
Noo!
But it's okay to force a gay agenda
Down our throats!

[Verse]
Get it?
Oh my gosh, it's so offensive
Good, I hope it is!
You ever think that I'm offended?
By the shit you showin' kids?
Hey, hold up, bitch!

[Verse]
Because, I'm only gettin' started
Someone tell me how the hell, you think it's cool
To let a drag queen, read to kindergartners
You ain't gotta follow God
To see the reason that ain't right
This shit's so Anti-Christ
I swear to God, his name is Annie Christ

[Verse]
A man becomes a wife, an' that's aight
But, wrong to call him queer
But, then we turn around
An', give a man The Woman of the Year
Hey, listen here, you think I'm scared?
You got another thing comin'
I'm from a time when we solved problems
With our knuckles, mothafucker!

[Chorus]
I remember once upon a time, in a land called America
When people didn't act like fuckin' pussies
I remember once upon a time, in a land called America
When you were gettin' punched, if you pushed me
I remember once upon a time, in a land called America
When we were actually, free to speak our minds
I remember once upon a time, in a land called America
When the truth wasn't a crime

[Verse]
So, welcome to America
We the biggest bid'ness, on the planet
Think we ain't, shit
Dare your ass to slip up on them taxes
Uncle Sam want it, he take it
When he take it, he ain't askin'
So, I stack a mill, in cash
An', claim the lowest tax bracket!

[Verse]
T-t-tellin' me I can't say that
Oh, noo!
But, it's ok to take my hard-earned money
'Til I'm broke!
So fuck a socialist
I hope you drop the soap, you bitch
'Cause you belong in jail
Right next to people, teachin' lil' boys
It's wrong to be a male, yeah

[Bridge]
So, sorry, that I have a spine
Sorry, that I speak my mind
Sorry, I ain't silent
Like the sheeple, who just stand in line
Sorry, I don't have the time
To argue, with your ass, online
Sorry, I could read between the lines
An', I ain't fuckin' blind
Sorry, I ain't sorry, nope!
Not even a little bit
Could call me ignorant
Not to my face, though
'Cause, you chickenshit
Swear, I used to give a shit
But, I done gave 'em all away
Unlike, my guns
Fuck it, all I'm sayin' is

[Chorus]
I remember once upon a time, in a land called America
When our flag wasn't disrespected
I remember once upon a time, in a land called America
When our cash wasn't disinfected
I remember once upon a time, in a land called America
When we only had two genders
I remember once upon a time, in a land called America
So, fuck you, and your agenda!

[Verse]
'Cause, I remember
Martin Luther had a dream
And lived it 'til his life was lost
People stood up, for the flag
And took a knee down, for the cross
When, people knew to count the cost
'Fore, they mouth would write a check
'Cause, if you piss somebody off
You catch it right, they break your neck

[Verse]
'Cause, people had a backbone!
Jesus wasn't bagged on!
Mom and Dad were at home!
Proud to have that flag flown!
Down to get our scrap on!
'Cause, it give us character!
So, where the fuck has that gone?
Damn, I miss America
