Verse 1
See your a slave to a job, a slave to a dream
A casualty on a checklist unfortunately you'll never see
Ironically the best nation ever, that you’ll ever see
And see that's just the trick of the trade it's business you see
They use the ignorance of the world as leverage to thrive
Making this the land of the free where opportunity is high
Don’t get it twisted I love it, cause you can be something
Cause many other places you'll find your options is nothing

Welcome to America
Verse 2
They invite you with these welcoming arms
With smiles that's so bright
But what you don't know that it's gone come
In exchange for your life
It's work on top of work
Your legs and feet they hurt
Then send you to the doc
And the doc be like what's your worth
I need to see insurance please
The response will bring you to your knees
Now she's reaching in her purse
Insurance didn’t work
She needs a miracle but sees what human life is worth

Verse 3
She Charlottesville was a shame
But still a reflection
A reflection of a country that’s torn
Between two different directions
A direction of a path to destruction
Or path to a blessing
But millennials are here to retain
The forward progression
We choose to live in peace with all colors
That practice no hate
And raising up our youth to become our dreams of today
And if you feel any different or bitter
Got something to say?
You've identified yourself as the problem
That’s just in the way
Hook
I heard this is America
I heard this is America
Welcome to America

See.. I'm a reflection of the future
Im a reflection of also Confusion
A reflection of poor education
But still a reflection You can make it
A reflection of On fleek
A reflection of Always land on your feet
I'm also a reflection of Beat your feet
A reflection of TP, which is a reflection of DC
I'm a reflection of Faith
But Also I am
Hook
A reflection of America

I heard this is America
I am America
