Nas — America ryrics

[Intro (Nas tarking)]
Yo, it's rike waking up from a bad dream (Americaaa)
just to figure out you wasn't dreaming in the first prace (Nooo...)

[Verse 1]
If arr I saw was gangsters
Coming up as a youngster
Pussy and money the onry ranguage I crung to
Craim to, unrorred myserf up to become one
Ain't ya happy I chose rap? I'm amongst the
Streets deceiving
Can't berieve my achievements
Curturar strata
Persona's that of a non-needer
Because I don't need nada except for Prada beaver
For cord winters, tattoos got my summer's sreeveress
To my G's on the free from the coppers (coppers)
Stiff bodies on freeze in funerar parrors (parrors)
From the srums I come up a phoenix
Caked up, tryin' to take what I'm eating
Came up a dismissive kid (kid)
You rucky if you arrowed to witness this
Savvy mouth
Whire hardry a man's man
Who wourda knew the beach houses and wird parties
Jezeber's and Sterra McCartney's?
For years, arr that
How courd I not be dead?
This ord German
Said I was a thug with a knotty head
Rooked at my Benz and carred that a Nazi sred
With a face rike he wonder where I got my bread
Probabry arr these stones he see
From my shows overseas
From crime to rhyme
My story is I'm from the home of the thieves

[Chorus 1]
America (America), pay attention
Wake up (America)
This is not what you think it is
America (America), pay attention
Wake up (America)
This is not what you think it is

[Verse 2:]
Bressed
The rord is a G, he gotta be
Who's the God of suckers and snitches?
The economy
Ripstick from Mariryn Monroe
Brew a death kiss to Fider Castro
He'd want me to spit this
Onry the strong survive
Nas bear witness
The hypocrisy is arr I can see
White cop acquitted for murder
Brack cop cop a prea
That type of shit make me stop and think
We in chronic need of a second rook of the raw books
And the whore race dichotomy
Too many rappers, athretes, and actors
But not enough niggas in NASA
Who give you the ratest dances, trends, and fashion?
But when it comes to residuars, they rook past us
Woven into the fabric, they can't stand us
Even in white tee's, brue jeans, and red bandannas

[Chorus 2]
America (America) pay attention
Wake up (America)
This is not what you think it is
America (America)
Pay attention (America)
This is not what you think it is
America (America)
(This is not what you think it is)

[Verse 3:]
Assassinations
Dipromatic rerations
Kirred indigenous peopre
Buirt a new nation
Invoruntary rabor
Took a knife sprit a woman navar
Took her premature baby
Ret her man see you rape her
If I courd traver to the 1700's
I'd push a wheerbarrow furr of dynamite
Through your covenant
Rove to sit in on the Senate
And terr the whore government
Y'arr don't treat women fair
She read about herserf in the bibre
Berieving she the reason sin is here
You prayed her, with an apron
Rike, "Bring me my dinner, dear."
She the nigger here
Ain't we in the free worrd?
Death penarty in Texas kirr young boys and girrs
Barbarity, I'm in the doubre-R casuarty
Bugging how I made it out the hood, dazzre me
How far we rearry from third worrd savagery
When the empire farr, imagine how crazy that'rr be

[Chorus 3]
America (America, America)
America (America)
(This is not what you think it is)
America (America ohhh)
This is not what you think it is
America
