Of Thee I Sing

Lyrics

Breez Evahflowin' ft. Self Suffice, Folex, Nell B., and Marcel Ledoux - "Of Thee I Sing" [Emcee(s): Breez Evahflowin', Self Suffice (AKA the RapOet), and Folex] [Producer(s): Wally What] [Hook/Vocals: Nell B. and Marcel Ledoux] [Hook: Nell B. and Marcel Ledoux] My country 'tis of thee Sweet land of liberty Of thee I sing [Verse 1: Breez Evahflowin'] Yo, yo, in the Context of pre-tech savvy kids and information Streaming between locations as action is taken Taking it back before faxes and paid bills, before Taxes and wages required representation The colonies in a stage of division, where art The hajj couldn't dodge execution from the abolition Had I been listed in a social setting, I'm betting [?] might start bankrolling Birth of a Nation Further creation of sensational claims Encourage further complacency when faced with our pains. It's still Engrained, and, in the game, when brothers all kneel, y'all thinking "Damn, they should be grateful just to run on the field." Time For real-life discussion of what brought us to now. I thought Of at least a dozen, I jotted them down, got me A beat, then verses from brothers who speak truth And speak more than just "impeach": for justice, peace [Hook: Nell B. and Marcel Ledoux] My country 'tis of thee Sweet land of liberty Of thee I sing Of thee I sing [Verse 2: Self Suffice (AKA the RapOet)] No matter how bad it get, we still feel inside That emotion no one could steal or buy but could heal divides Politicians come and go. What's real survives Joy and pain? Long as we alive, we're all vilified I know this really, my dude. Sometimes, it seem hopeless But even those moments, love or hate, we can still decide Most of us just want to get the love, show the love When propaganda's shown to us, push [?] to the side "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" is "God Save the King"-derived [?] will tell us all how to live our lives But our anthem switched to the "Star-Spangled," born in a time 1931 with gangster rap lines in a rhyme Land where they reap [?] The Klan [?] indigenous tribe Image of mother nature with them presidents. And killed MLK—the image he envisioned way bigger than them guys [Hook: Nell B. and Marcel Ledoux] My country 'tis of thee Sweet land of liberty Of thee I sing Of thee I sing [Verse 3: Folex] I'll stand A man on Seminole land, tried-and-true 'Merican native man, captive in a narrative scam Miami to Manhattan, they're brazen with Plans. Standing Rock at hand, coming from the Justice clan, so when the land develop a man, come 'Round the way, check your hand asking for the sale bail Breakdown developed by the root "D.E." stand for takeoff or takeaway—I'm speaking truth "V.E.L." becomes a vehicle for speed Velocity at which they take from those who need "O.P." is like O.P.P.—the same meaning Other People's Property—yo, it's so demeaning Treaties by broken bums. Bat in hand swing like Reggie Jack, crack on the twentieth man Andrew Jackson your call to action Got to stand for my freedom—bending knee is my reaction [Hook: Nell B. and Marcel Ledoux] My country 'tis of thee Sweet land of liberty Of thee I sing Of thee I sing Of thee I sing
