A remix of Jay-Z's "Somewhere in America" off MagnaCartaHolyGrail. 

LYRICS: 

It started back in Africa, they took the kids, had the afros cut
You said no, you’d end up dead, left the bodies in the thicker cuts
Our leaders smile, this is how they fucking won
This is our nation, spreading lies every station
We question what they tell us, wait, no we don’t, it’s castration
Watch with open mouths, closed eyes, and no heads
We’ve allowed ourselves to live like we’re dead
To the people in my home, people in Chicago
Who shed tears of sorrow, more than anyone I know
I feel sorry I can’t help
Sorry that this shit is hell
But be happy you ain’t down south
Where you kill and still don’t go to jail
We stand our ground, all to no avail
They stand their ground, they don’t even need no bail
This is where our nation failed
Remind us why our ship has sailed
Our worth pales to those kids who are always so pale
I thought we were trending up
Better lives, not giving up
Now even 9 to 5s
No do or die, it ain’t enough
Sorry, guys, I guess I failed
Went to college a rich, white male
Who promised that equality would finally be real
But it’s just coal / (cold), Santa laughing while we squeal
From blood on the leaves, to now the streets are filled
All cuz we think there’s no better way to make a mil
Than duffle bags and rubber bands, let’s make a fucking deal!
Who will tell the kids we failed em once again
That even the good ones are judged by their skin
That fifty years of progress, isn’t really progress
If you die and the whole world lets them do it again!
I lost all my dreams, all I have is nightmares
That the world in my heart will never be fair
Sorry little T, I’ll take all the heat
For yelling at a country that doesn’t fucking care
Marching in the streets? Don’t be so naïve
The money is the power that makes all the grease
Why listen to the little man when all they have are bigger plans
First the state, then the senate, then the mother fucking MAN
Why give a damn, to the voiceless little fans
Who thought the world changed when he said “yes we can”
Mr. President, this whole country’s fucking lying
Cuz somewhere in America, a black kid’s fucking dying
Another black kid’s fucking dying…
