[Verse 1]
[C]Hey, I'm just doing everything
that I can (I can)
Never been jealous of the white man
Black skin, I'm not better,
I'm just different
He ain't never sold drugs,
this is all a false image, hey
[G]Who's the best

[Verse 2]
[Em]American? Is it you?
And I [G]say never [Em]love again, but I do
Whole planet [C]under sieze boy,

And they know we keep a [C]blind eye
[Em]to hide the truth
[C]Who's the best

[Verse 3]

[Verse 4]
of tax, take it out your [G]check
Boy, I know you know this [Em]debt
Til you hesit[G]ate and right be
[Em]fore you purchase that
New chain, new [G]fame, original [Em]black
We are well- [G]anointed with the
[C]knowledge of the slaves
Land of the free, yeah, home of the brave
Hard to close my eyes at night,
I'm dreamin' of the day
Dark terrors in the ferry,
turn the world grey
Somehow we gotta pray,
it ain't 'bout religious praise
This is real shit, nigga this is not a phase
Born afflicted,
misinformed children on the way
Eyes teary, blind feary,
cryin' to be saved
Find another way, while [G]es capin',
a [Em]rude awakenin'
While we caged in, [G]ab omination
Clean [Em]water for the [G]cavemen,
salutation[Em]s
Signin' off with a [G]mo lotov,
throwing salt
While we marchin' off for the
common cause
[C]Who's the best

[Verse 5]
American? Is it you?
And I say never love again, but I do
Whole planet under seize boy,

eye to hide the truth

[Verse 6]
Who's the best [C]American? Is it you?
And I say never love again, but I do

[Verse 7]
This a new world, [C]artificial
Second brain in my pocket,
tell me how that live through
Y'all don't hear me
Unless I [G]talk about my [Em]skin tone,
and what comes with it
If you [G]live it then you [Em]stand strong,
that's how we do it
Ain't no [C]father figure, live n' learn
Gotta get the money little
nigga making earns
Another day,
another cop killed an honest man
Black skin, young- aged,
probably had a kid, it never ends
They say government
control the weather
How we bustin' all these guns
but we can't get together
Start a, and make that bread together
Are they crooks,
are they pedophiles or politicians
Plottin' FDA poisonin'
our children now
That's how we living,
throwing niggas in prison
Unlivable conditions, repeat offender
Brown, broke
That's the agenda, never surrender
Keep your eyes wide shut, nicca

[Verse 8]

[Verse 10]
[Em]Amer[G]ica"
To the red, white, blue noose [Em]on my neck,
wylin' for respect
Guess freedom ain't free, huh?
Really wanna see a difference,
kill some politi[G]cians
[C]Red men get executed and forgotten
Black men spent 200 years
pickin' cotton
Now they poison our minds and put
shackles on our conscious
But they will never get mine,
never get mine, dawg I promise
Black American Psycho, ya like Tae- Bo,
ya might just get
American ream be double up the
money with no minusin'
Hate is a disease with no paradise
they can't find that shit
Honestly this shit here's wave make
climate shatter thermometers
Promise my mama,
[Em]I see mañana, no matter what it is
[G]Coppers be killin' niggas for [Em]nada,
that shit gotta end
You probably think slavery's abolished
homie they got your brain
Never forget what they did to the man
with the [C]moccasin

[Verse 11]
[C]Who's the best American? Is it you?
And I say never love again, but I do
Whole planet under seize boy,

And they know we keep a blind eye
to hide the truth
Who's the best [F#]American? Is it you?
And I say never love
again, but I do
Whole planet under seize nigga, that's

And you know [Ab]we keep
a blind eye to hide the truth

[Verse 12]
We are all the problem, when [F#]we don't make sure our dollars
stay in our com[F]munities for more [Ebm]than six hours
[F#]We are all the problem when we don't make sure that our
[Ab]children are safe going to the public school, to [F#]prison pipeline
We are all the prob[F]lem when we don't [Ebm]hold school,
our [F#]children, after school
We are all the problem when we lay down
and expect [F#]somebody else to do the work for us
We are all the problem when we
don't [F#]stand up to oppression
We are all the problem if we go
back into slavery
That makes us all the problem
