[00:03.020] Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon from the flight deck
[00:05.050] We're cruising at 37,000 feet and we just passed over the coast
[00:08.920] We'll be beginning our descent in about 30 minutes
[00:11.460] I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome you to America
[00:13.800] Ta na na na muchawa
[00:15.780] Ta na na na muchawa
[00:17.750] Ta na na na muchawa ta na na na na
[00:20.180] Uh
[00:22.280] I was made in America land of the free, home of the brave
[00:26.090] And right up under your nose you might see a sex slave being traded
[00:29.900] And will do anything for the money
[00:31.640] Boy, a mamma might sell her babies
[00:33.780] Sell porn, sell pills, anything to pay the bills
[00:35.810] Anything to bring that paper
[00:37.600] Gotta scratch that itch
[00:38.520] Gotta scratch them ticks
[00:39.510] Ain't rich but I might be
[00:41.410] And I'mma shoot these flicks
[00:42.390] I'mma turn these tricks
[00:43.330] Anything for a slight fee
[00:45.180] Yeah, made in America
[00:46.920] Mamma told me that I belong here
[00:48.760] Had to earn our stripes
[00:50.000] Had to learn our rights
[00:50.980] Had to fight for a home here
[00:52.750] But I wouldn't know a thing about that
[00:54.610] All I know is drugs and rap
[00:56.330] I probably could have been some kind of doctor
[00:58.300] Instead of holding guns and crack
[01:00.580] I was born in the mainland
[01:02.170] Great grandpa from a strange land
[01:03.950] He was stripped away and given bricks to lay
[01:05.810] I guess you could say he a slave hand
[01:08.150] But I was made in America
[01:09.750] So I don't know a thing about that
[01:11.790] All I know is Uncle Sam looking for me, working on his corner so I know I gotta pay tax
[01:15.940] Getting paid in America
[01:17.720] I was raised in America
[01:19.380] And this is all I ever known
[01:20.550] If I'm wrong then you better come save me America
[01:22.920] Ta na na na muchawa muchawa
[01:24.900] Ta na na na muchawa muchawa
[01:26.820] Ta na na na muchawa muchawa
[01:28.730] Ta na na na muchawa muchawa
[01:29.700] Welcome to America, welcome to America
[01:37.330] Welcome to America, welcome to America
[01:44.940] Welcome to America
[01:46.01]
[01:46.760] Man, I'd die for America
[01:48.240] I served my time for America
[01:50.020] Got shot, shot back, went to war, got back and ain't nobody give a jack in America
[01:53.960] I could've lost my life, boy, I lost my wife
[01:55.740] I can't even get right in my home land
[01:58.160] Cold sweats, hold tecs, paranoid looking out for a threat in my own land
[02:01.44]
[02:01.990] I was trained in America
[02:03.550] How they get up in them planes in America?
[02:05.330] Flew them right into the buildings
[02:06.620] Taking out civilians
[02:07.490] People getting killed in America?
[02:09.700] And I'm still in America
[02:11.550] Though America ain't feeling me
[02:13.400] I went to war for this Country
[02:14.890] Turn around came home and you drillin' me?
[02:17.180] When y'all free here saying you don't wanna be here
[02:20.580] Boy, you probably couldn't breathe here
[02:22.060] If I didn't load a couple magazines here
[02:24.700] Y'all just complain in America
[02:26.240] I'm jumping out of military planes from America
[02:28.460] Ey, I was made in America
[02:29.950] That's why I'm out here saving America
[02:32.870] I got a brother in the cemetery now
[02:34.280] Cause he wanted y'all safe
[02:36.690] And everybody want the freedom but nobody want to hear "About face!"
[02:40.560] We bled for America
[02:42.220] To keep y'all fed in America
[02:44.250] But whats the point of talking a lot of y'all don't really even care America
[02:47.420] Ta na na na muchawa muchawa ta na na na
[02:51.350] Ta na na na muchawa muchawa ta na na na
[02:54.25]
[03:10.520] Ta na na na muchawa
[03:12.430] Ta na na na muchawa
[03:14.340] Ta na na na muchawa ta na na na na
[03:17.700] Uh, I wish I lived in America
[03:20.420] Wanna raise my kids in America
[03:22.270] Heard everybody rich all I gotta do is run, jump, kick
[03:24.610] I'm a hit in your area
[03:26.530] So please pick me, America
[03:28.390] I know you'll probably never love me
[03:30.290] You never hear about me on the news
[03:31.890] And you probably never been to my Country
[03:34.170] I hear you selling education and got clothes that you throw away
[03:37.800] Got plenty food in your nation
[03:39.610] I can tell cause a lot of y'all are overweight
[03:41.780] I already work for y'all
[03:42.890] I'm in the sweatshops making these shirts for y'all
[03:44.810] Naw, I ain't getting money, go to bed hungry
[03:47.280] But I make some exports for y'all
[03:49.660] And y'all don't know a thing about that
[03:51.520] You was made in America
[03:53.320] I'm trying to find me a ticket
[03:54.540] Where the sky is the limit catch a plane to America
[03:56.940] It should be plain to America
[03:59.090] Y'all blessed and you got it made
[04:01.000] Heard y'all don't pray no more
[04:02.040] Y'all ain't saved no more
[04:02.960] Y'all looking for another way
[04:04.990] Well, I hope it ain't true
[04:05.860] But I'm packing my suit
[04:06.840] Farewell to my motherland
[04:08.690] Said bye to my loved ones
[04:09.990] Fate here I come, I'm going to another land
[04:12.570] I done made it to America
[04:14.420] I'm amazed at America
[04:16.500] But I couldn't get approval to stay so they sent me away from America
