Vince Staples Only In America

Tekst piosenki

[Intro]
Yeah
Oh-uh-uh-uh
Oh-uh-uh-uh
Yeah

[Verse 1]
America the beautiful, I’d like to take a look at you
It’s hard to see past the stars from behind the bars, know they love to throw the book at you
We barely can read, plus speech not necessarily free
Black folks always embarrassing me, with that face down, ass up, hands on your knees

[Pre-Chorus]
We just wanna have a good time
All that we’ve been through
I remember bein’ nine, on 10th Street and Pine, when I lost my mental
Growin’ up was hard
Thank God I found instrumentals
But I miss when things was still simple

[Chorus]
God bless the U.S.A., God bless the U.S.A
God bless thе U.S.A., God bless the U.S.A., hey
You can livе by the gun, die by the gun (Only in America)
You can lie, you can steal, house on a hill (Only in America)
You can be anything, live your dreams (Only in America)
Only in America

[Verse 2]
This world’s known to break down angels, so long since I had my halo
Hell-bent on tryna make life make sense, when I know I’m unstable
I know Cupid don’t miss, but, I know God make mistakes, too
Still in search of a breakthrough, I been hurt since last April

[Pre-Chorus]
Hopefully I’m better by the summertime
Sun’s out, guns out, I’m clutching mine
Been through way too much to summarize
Too much in my hands to let it go
It’s gon’ be okay, one day, you never know
I think

[Chorus]
God bless the U.S.A., God bless the U.S.A
God bless the U.S.A., God bless the U.S.A., hey
You can live by the gun, die by the gun (Only in America)
You can lie, you can steal, house on a hill (Only in America)
You can be anything, live your dreams (Only in America)
Only in America

[Bridge]
It goes
Fireworks on Friday night, have you standin’ by my side
Feel like the Fourth of July
Perfect slice of apple pie, got me feeling warm inside
Like the fourth day of July
Let’s go
Shootin’ stars, scars like stripes, red, white and blue police lights
Big house, picket fence, just don’t be late on that rent
Land of the free, home of the brave
Home of the natives, home of the slaves
Trust me when you hear me say
God gon’ bless the U.S.A
[Pre-Chorus]
Only in the U.S.A
God bless the U.S.A
Stole me, and they brought me to the U.S.A
Thank you, I guess

[Chorus]
God bless the U.S.A., God bless the U.S.A
God bless the U.S.A., God bless the U.S.A., hey
You can live by the gun, die by the gun (Only in America)
You can lie, you can steal, house on a hill (Only in America)
You can be anything, live your dreams (Only in America)
Only in America
Only in America
Only in America
God bless the U.S.A., God bless the U.S.A
God bless the U.S.A., God bless the U.S.A., hey
God bless the U.S.A., God bless the U.S.A
God bless the U.S.A., God bless the U.S.A., hey
