Lyrics

Land of the free, what they say

Expressing skepticism about the proclaimed freedom in the country.

But I don't feel freedom, not in any way

Personal feeling of a lack of freedom in any aspect of life.

Give me a reason for me to stay

Requesting a reason to stay in a place where freedom is not felt.

I don't believe them, anything they say

Expressing disbelief in anything said by those claiming freedom.

Following my dreams, 'fore they get taken away

Emphasizing the pursuit of dreams before they are taken away.

What I got to eat, don't want artificial taste

Desire for natural and unaltered food, rejecting artificial tastes.

Everyone a fiend, I'm tryna get saved by the grace

Seeking salvation from a world where everyone seems addicted.

What the fuck you mean, like we didn't go to space, is you dumb or nah

Questioning someone's disbelief in the moon landing.

All you want to do is numb your thoughts

Criticizing the tendency to escape reality through numbing.

Fuck whatever it is you talking bout, 'cause I'm going off

Disregarding irrelevant talk and asserting independence.

Everybody want to act bitch made, I know that you're soft

Observation of others acting weak or cowardly.

Put the world in my hands, 'cause my generation lost

Taking responsibility for the world's problems faced by the generation.

I can handle the pressure, I wouldn't even cough

Confidence in handling pressure without breaking.

I can handle it like yessir, let me give my all

Commitment to giving one's best effort.

Most of 'em wouldn't answer even if I called

Not expecting responses from most, comparing to unanswered calls.

I picture it like cameras how I'm finna ball

Imagining success in a grand way, like being captured on cameras.

Ball, I'm finna wet some

Expressing determination to succeed, possibly with aggression.

I'mma hit the whole government and then some

Claiming to take on the entire government and more.

I might call FDA just to test some

Suggesting testing or challenging the system, possibly sarcastically.

Know they trying to take my cash by next month

Concern about potential loss of money in the near future.

Project blue beam, what the fuck they doing

Critical questioning of mysterious government projects like Project Blue Beam.

They be showing it to your face in the movies

Noting the subtle presentation of controversial ideas in movies.

Know my worth 'fore I ever put on that gucci

Emphasizing self-worth over materialistic concerns like Gucci.

Why you worried bout I'm wearing, we both got two feet

Questioning the significance of external appearances.

Hey man, I don't give a fuck if it's name brand

Asserting that personal happiness is not dependent on brand names.

I'm still happier than you, what you gon say then

Comparison of personal happiness to others, regardless of material possessions.

I can't lie though, man I used to take xans

Admitting past use of Xanax but highlighting positive change.

Now I get up before them in the A.M.

Achieving early rising as a sign of personal growth.

Stand up guy, yeah you know I had to take chance

Being a courageous and risk-taking individual.

Fuck America, I ain't rocking with your gay trends (nope)

Rejecting conformity with trends seen as incompatible with personal values.

No way that you think you could change sex (nope)

Dismissing the idea of changing one's gender.

I started praying one night I ain't been the same since

Positive change or transformation following a prayer.

It's a fucked up world and it don't make sense

Expressing the world's dysfunction and lack of logic.

I go to work, I do my job just to make less

Working hard for a meager reward, highlighting life's struggles.

Pay rent, then you wake up, do the same shit

Monotonous routine of working, paying rent, and repeating.

I'm trying to get the fuck out of USA bitch

Expressing a desire to leave the United States.

All you want to do is numb your thoughts

Reiteration of the theme of numbing thoughts as an escape.

Fuck whatever it is you talking bout, 'cause I'm going off

Reaffirmation of disregarding irrelevant talk and asserting independence.

Everybody want to act bitch made, I know that you're soft

Observation of others acting weak or cowardly, repeating a theme.

Put the world in my hands, 'cause my generation lost

Reiteration of taking responsibility for the world's problems.

I can handle the pressure, I wouldn't even cough

Confidence in handling pressure without breaking, repeating a theme.

I can handle it like yessir, let me give my all

Commitment to giving one's best effort, repeating a theme.

Most of 'em wouldn't answer even if I called

Not expecting responses from most, repeating a theme.

I picture it like cameras how I'm finna ball

Imagining success in a grand way, repeating a theme.

Ball, I'm finna wet some

Expressing determination to succeed, possibly with aggression, repeating a theme.
