[Intro] You are a terroriser That's why you're the terrorist [Verse] America is a terrorist Killing the natives of the land Killing and stealing Have always been a part of America's master plan To control the earth and everything on it To divide and conquer is all they wanted America's a terrorist Killing the buffalo that roam the plains Killing and slaughtering animals was turned into a game Giving blankets contaminated with small pox To the natives who were here The beginning of germ warfare The beginning of white fear No respect for the land the trees or the air we breathe And Christianity was an excuse To bring others to their knees America's a terrorist with a slave system in place To take away the humanity of a darker race Put people in chains Then beat them with whips Made them give up their names Those who survived the slave ships America's a terrorist Chewing tobacco and eating swine Being mean and nasty to those who treated him kind Take a pregnant Black woman Cut her belly open and let the fetus fall out Stomp the baby in the ground To instill fear is what that was all about Gang up on a Black man Hang him from a tree Cut him down then set him on fire For everyone to see America's a terrorist With a Howdy Doody grin Using the bible to keep others in check While America commits all the sin Thou shall not kill That's not part of the American dream Because to kill is a thrill They love to show on your TV screen Romance the gun just for fun Drop a bomb just for charm This is the American way And all of this talk about equality justice and peace Spewing out of the mouths of theses governmental beast But every time Blacks tried to find a way to do for self American terrorist weren't having it And fear is all Black folks felt Rosewood was a town where Blacks tried hard to thrive White folks burned it down and many Blacks lost their lives Now there was town in Oklahoma called Black Wall Street Blacks had homes a bank lots of money And stood strong on their own two feet But now you see the Whites nearby were jealous And just couldn't stand seeing Blacks do so well So they drop not one but two bombs on the town And created a living hell America's a terrorist Feeding off racism and greed Not caring not sharing But enjoying watching people bleed Every time Jack Johnson fought and beat a White boy in the ring White mobs would kill Blacks at random Because a Black man was boxing's king And all the wars we fought To try to win respect at home But when the war was over Blacks where never treated like they belong But rather the subjects of experiments At Tuskegee and other places For over four hundred years Blacks have lived in fears of the vicious cruelty of the racist Tried to march for justice And the civil right to be treated fair Attacked by dogs and fire hoses Beaten by police Forced to live a life of total despair Bombed a church in Birmingham While the children were in Sunday school Took the lives of four little girls Yes this terrorist was just that cruel American terrorism is like a virus That's home grown and spreads across the planet too Selling guns and chemical weapons Gift wrapped in red white and blue Soldiers boys selling guns For hard drugs in exchange It should be obvious by now that this country is deranged Yet we stand and pledge allegiance To a flag that brings lots of grief And singing that war song every day Is Americas only belief America's a terrorist And no one wants to admit Pointing the finger at others is the ironic part of it Dropped a bomb in Philadelphia To wipe out an organization named MOVE Killed unarmed women and children Because the police had something to prove And all the Black Panthers trying to help their community Wiped out by the FBI for trying to create Black unity Put drugs in the hood Set folks up for no good Kept unemployment high Education is laced with lies Turned the people against each other Made money more sacred than your mother Caused an avalanche of grief By trigger happy police Locked the Black man up in jail Made him think he was born to fail And no place are you safe If you have a darker face Henry Dumas, Amadou Diallo Michael Griffin Yusef Hawkins Anthony Baez Clifford Glover, James Bird just to name a few Died at the hands of American terrorist No terrorism here, Ain't a damn thing new The CIA the FBI the Michigan militia the KKK And the police from coast to coast Are the real American terrorist And the government is the host So now America is ready to engage in World War 3 Because what goes around has come around But you can't kill what you can't see
