America

(I've lost my head and my cool
I've lost my head and my cool
I've lost my head and my cool)

Listen
I only note spending time away
I only note the truth is spoken
Best when brutally so honestly
I'll let you know you set
The standards lyrically for me
One single middle finger, say raise it up
My speech will always be free
Like Martin Luther King
You had meaning to me
Single handedly saving music starving industry
A hip hop legend was skinned like invisible ink
Like even though he was whiter than me
He was the first to be colorless
Speaking for all of us then you let us into your family
Mother father brother sister wife daughter
Damn right in front of me
That's when I miss my daughter desperately
Your "Mockingbird" puts dents in me
While touring press and reliving my song "Hate me"
I was losing custody I never even saw that shit
How she played me and planned and sought it fit
To turn that trick and financially she would benefit
My first and probably only billboard hit
Was gonna pay for my two year old's college
I should have hid that shit
So she couldn't spend that shit
It took twenty years of working
Just to earn that shit, now word for word I've listened,
Heard and I'm done
Done

Like you don't know
You act like you believe it
That you're in control
It's just your legal system though
Now they don't think about you
No they don't care about you
Now every man in America
Take back your control
Like you don't know
You act like you believe it
That you're in control
It's just your legal system though
Now they don't think about it
No, they don't care about it
Now every man in America
Take back your control

So I kept my business quiet
Just like my lawyer said
And I tried to focus
On my anger and my work instead
I was succeeding at self reliant
But inside my soul is dead.
I had to be the sole provider
But not allowed to be the dad
Literally they took her from me
Legally they did! They did!
But I'm not a fucking book
So fuck your book in Lincoln I said
Yeah fuck the judge fuck that county
Fuck your family too
Yeah fuck everybody that took my baby girl, Blue
And  I'm way too strong
I work my ass off all day long
And I'm gone for months at a time
And you keep sitting there and lying
Bitching “Come back home”
I hate you, hate you, god
And then you came back home
And filed for another fucking divorce
I'm sick of her I'm sick of you instead
I'm not sick down in my head

Any other man in America
Can get screwed just like me

Like you don't know
You act like you believe it
That you're in control
It's just your legal system though
Yeah they don't think about you
No they don't care about you
Now every man in America
Take back your control
Like you don't know
You act like you believe it
That you're in control
It's just your legal system though
Yeah they don't think about it
No, they don't care about it
Now every man in America
Take back your control

You won't understand,
Probably never will.
Listen slowly I'll let you know the deal
Lying ass play the judge with your crying ass
You had your nose wide open when you saw the cash
Grimy bitch growing tired of your trying shit
Women run the courts, men provide the chips
Well eat up bitch until you had enough bitch
But take my kids; you can kiss both my nuts bitch
Telling lies cause daddy's always on the road
But you're the one fucking like a groupie at a show
Money hungry so you try to take my youngest from me
You're a dummy honey I'll chase you across the country
Bring the drama to your mamma and you mamma's mamma
Cause we all know you chasing half the karma
Couple checks few houses and Gucci blouses
You're changing dicks like you changing outfits
Constitution nowadays got the daddies losing
Lot of fathers getting fucked by the constitution

Like you don't know
You act like you believe it
That you're in control
Was just your legal system though
Well they don't think about you
No they don't care about you
Now every man in America
Take back your control
Like you don't know
You act like you believe it
That you're in control
It's just your legal system though
Yeah they don't think about it
No they don't care about it
Now every man in America
Take back your control

Like you don't know
You act like you believe it
That you're in control
It's just your legal system though
Yeah they don't think about you
No they don't care about you
Now every man in America
Take back your control
Like you don't know.
You act like you believe it
That you're in control
It's just your legal system though
Yeah they don't think about it
No they don't care about it
Now every man in America
Take back your control
