jay-bird (musician) - land of the lost lyrics

[verse 1]
what can you tell me ‘bout your life?
what can you tell me ‘bout your dreams?
the streets are full of hate
and the earth becomes unclean
a murder at the p+wn shop
a robbery gone wrong
in the city death is imminent
you gotta stay strong
it’s survival of the fittest
the weak will perish soon
it shouldn’t have the be this way
the streets are grim and gloom

[hook]
america
land of the free
where you’re free to k!ll at will
if you’re on the right team
this is america
land of the lost
where thе color of your skin
determines dеath’s cost

[verse 2]
united as a nation
broken through discrimination
when money’s all that matters
why fund our education?
provisions taken to alienate our rights
the end result’s nothing more than firefights
i pass it on to benji so he can tell the story
of a broken dream that’s destined for true glory, uh
[verse 3 + benjibluebill]
d+mn, bird
i didn’t know you had it in you
true glory, huh?
you know, on my soul
all i want is true glory

on my soul all i need is motivation
since i was young, momma told me i’d make it
all old homies cause the new ones steady faking
coming up, always heard it’s for the taking
now i’m grown, ask myself where i’m going
twenty+one, no this ain’t about savage
only twenty+one but i been about my cabbage
so if it’s ‘bout the money then you know i gotta have it
stepping out, tryna come up on the scene
nah bruh, i don’t know what you mean
asking me “why chase a rap dream from stanly county?”
by the town of dope fiends
third grade, got a hole in my liver
ninth grade, just a thought’d make me quiver
tenth grade, poppin’ pills with my n+ggas
now i know to keep my head up on the swivel
cause they watching, plotting, scheming
how they can stop me dreaming
just know that i am fiending for success
don’t get to screaming
when my boys get to shopping
you ought to be the main target
just know that we are benji and the bird
and we keep on plotting
woo, i ran out of breath (hahaha)
keep it riding, ima go in
i was lost but now i’m found
previously convinced that i would drown
like the doped+up degenerates from my hometown
only to find that i’d bear the crown
so f+ck you if you hate the sound
cause benji and the bird’s here to stick around
since day one, we’ve never changed
we’ll never switch up for the glory or the fame

[hook]
america
land of the greed
never giving us the chance that we need
this is america
land of the lost
where all the world’s sympathy is turned into frost

[outro]
impact
blessing in disguise
i did that
intact
i remain on these tracks
so kick your feet up and relax
cause i came to show you my syntax
lemme tell you all where i came from
shoulda woulda clowns in the d+mn slum
prowling through the night for a d+mn bump
pulling out their triggers, it’s a d+mn jump
i can’t show you what i mean
i can tell you what i know
land of the lost where the fiends come and go
driving through the hood, it’s all hoes and blow
open up your mind, i’ll paint a picture just to show
america
