This is not America
Not America
Not America

No pain, no gain, is the flame in your brain
And I can't tell you, you can't do it'
You will taste the pain
You gotta be tough and rough, like any superstar
That you see on TV and what is called a gangsta

Hah, hah, ha, you really think you could be
Just with the hat on your head and a fist like an O Mad it is you know to think you are
Hardcore as the guys in L.A. are

Well, my pal, you don't need all the hardcore
Yo [bad word]  you know what's your fist for
To put a brick upon a brick, now won't you quit
Yet to give me the [bad word] 'cause this is not America
Don't give me the [bad word] 'cause this is not America

This is not, ah this is not
This is not, this is not America
This is not, ah this is not
This is not, this is not America
This is not, ah this is not
This is not, this is not America
This is not, ah this is not
This is not, this is not America

There's people gettin' sprayed with the bullet of pain
By the media, the guns and you're the aim
Again 'n' again 'n' again 'n' again
An American media don't make a man

Of all you soft ice wanna 'T's, ah who you wanna be?
Be an individual, show personality
Take all it takes to be somebody else
And don't believe all of what the hype tells

And if you're down with yourself, and if you're down with your soul
ah, you will quick understand what this was for
Don't think you gotta be like the 'Homies' are
'Cause all you want is bliss and this is not America
'Cause all you want is bliss and this is not America

This is not, ah this is not
This is not, this is not America
This is not, ah this is not
This is not, this is not America
This is not, ah this is not
This is not, this is not America
This is not, ah this is not
This is not, this is not America

This is not America
This is not America
This is not America
This is not America
