Lyrics

Uh, my mind's filled with mine fields The ashes fall, the wine spills The world stops, drops and rolls It's Judgment Day or a fire drill Yea, I pour out my heart, have a drink They say the drunk never lie, they ain't never lyin yea My country tis of thee, Sweet land of kill em all and let em die God bless Amerika This so godless Amerika I heard tomorrow ain't promised today The end of time is like a hour away Damn, military minded, lost and can't find it The stars on the flag are never shining Uh, I saw a butterfly in hell today Will I die or go to jail today? Cause I live by the sword and die by the sword Heard police was looking for me, I'mma hide by abroad Shootin stars in my pocket, bitch sit on my rocket I'm wired off a socket, but still shockin Everybody wanna tell me what I need You can play a role in my life but not the lead If there's food for thought then I'm guilty of greed Mama said take what you want – I took heed yea My little breed, yea, back to life, back to reality Been eating my girl and she's so sweet, got cavities Granted we do it for vanity not humanity But what's appealing to me is under banana trees, love I go so hard, I tried to pay homage but I was overcharged Ain't that a bitch? I'm just a nut tryna bust a nut in the nut shel Used to say fuck the police, now I say fuck jail Same shit, different air freshner I don't play boy, I ain't Hugh Hefner Tryna be a step ahead, but a few feet behind Two fingers to my head, pop! Peace of mind I be in the cloud, cloud number 9 And I just fucked the clock and let it come to time It's a cold world, I put on a mink There's a chain of commands, I'm the missing link God bless Amerika This so godless Amerika I heard tomorrow ain't promised today And I'm smoking on them flowers, catch the bouquet Here we live by the sword and die by the sword The police are looking for me, I'mma hide by abroad Shootin stars in my pocket, bitch sit on my rocket I'm wired off a socket, but still shockin em Everybody wanna tell me what I need You can play a role in my life but not the lead I saw a butterfly in hell today Will I die or go to jail today?
