Kanye West - Who Will Survive In America & Lyrics [HQ]

[SashaSushi007]

Democracy, liberty and justice, were revolutionary code names that preceded the bubbling bubbling bubbling bubbling bubbling in the mother country's crotch.

[itZjstPotna]

someone spread her legs and  raped by freedume(freedom) damn

[beegee45]

@itZjstPotna It's a reference to the British Empire

[ThaWasian]

The reason the song is so amazing is due to Gil Scott-Heron's involvement, Kanye is good, but he's not even close the level of Scott-Heron.



[DHINTON7295]

THESE NUTS!

[abramo10]

the illuminati will survive in america!...for now :P

[ilene879]

pshh NO ONE!

[alwaystonicole]

I love how this is on a Kanye West CD, because it means the poetry of the late Gil Scott-Heron will be heard by more people.

Kind of don't understand why it's on the Kanye CD though.

[1constellation]

I never thought about freedom this way. This is inspiration

[tintsap]

@1constellation Yes. In Libya will so called freedom will turn into Freedoom. Iraq it was freedom ast first now it's freedoom saddam is gone, americans are gooing but the freedoom stays. they are killing each other by suicide bombs just because one muslim is sunni one is shia. Afghanstan freedom turns into freedom securty failure.

[greecepwns]

It's "The signs of truth were tattooed across our often-entered vagina"

Makes more sense when you think about it

[Oricalkos123]

Gill Scott-Heron<3.

@MrRcftw whats your problem. maybe your one of the rich kids who has everything and wont ever have a job in his life except to beg your mom and dad for a couple hundred. you will suffer the most from our depression. america is failing. history is repeating itself. ever heard of the italian empire?

[Horsemenjenson]

I really just don't see these words as strong. I see the message as strong, but the words as comedic.

[umusuuk]

RIP Gil Scott-Heron

[mrfresh9900]

look up "who will survive in america Gil Scott-Heron"

[fairandjustified]

there is a possiblitlitie that these singers are sick of the control and the brain washing, although by using awake lyrics,, they could just be hijacking and piggybacking the awake movement in order to make people believe they are free while still existing within control and IDOL WORSHIP,,note only a few people clap at the end of this song,, your brain hears everything, even if you think it doesn't be carfull although this could be promising

[GEOtheCEOofITV]

@fairandjustified Well, I can't vouch for Kanye.. but, there are artists who are 'inside' who are asking for help via subliminal messages... My example is Pharrell Williams.via N.E.R.D.. There is a song on their latest CD 'Nothing' titled ''Help Me' (how bout that).Some of the tracks that follow that kinda sound like 'Love songs' are actually songs of him talking to God who is telling him that the light WILL drive away the darkness etc. In these songs he refers to God as 'She'.

[GEOtheCEOofITV]

@fairandjustified I'm not going to elaborate on 'darkness' as that and many of his lyrics are for the trained ear. But I'm sure you, and some of the people here, know exactly what it means to have a 'trained ear' when it comes to the 'industry'

[IiMZSlyboy]

this is Gil Scott Heron. Only reason i say that is 'cause everyone should hear the longer version he sampled this from.

[streetball102]

gil scott heron is the best poet ever!

[elcattiv0]

@streetball102 absolutely true!

[Black2295]

This song. TOPS. All of the other songs. On this album. Makes us ask, "Who will survive in America?" Really, who will? But the African-American race HAS survived in America, we are the underdogs.

[griffiths448]

0 dislikes.....leave it dat way

[presidentfresh12]

@griffiths448 you tight

[bluebettle]

"Who will survive in America?" is a pretty good fucking question to be asking right now.

[acem6912]

@bluebettle the strong brutha

[MrRcftw]

@bluebettle shut up .....

[TrueLyrics777]

true true words

[foreverblunted718]

i agree with gil scott heron but why does he say that paul revere and nang turner are bad guys?

all paul revere did was shout the British are comming.

and im pretty sure its nat turner not nang turner, because nat turner led a slave rebellion because of his actions two hundred blacks were also beaten and killed by white militias and mobs reacting with violence

[gmf20002]

@foreverblunted718 no he said the programmed youth woke up one morning digging nat and paul as the good guys

[darrinthaboii]

@foreverblunted718 sometimes you have to figure out the facts on these things.. maybe there is something that he knows that you dont. I just watched a documentary at UC berkeley that basicly said that every powerful activist in america during times of really strong activism (civil rights movemnt, puetro rican independence movement, american indian movement etc.) was either killed(most notably MLK and Malcomb X) by the FBI or someone affiliated with the FBI or sent to prison (Leonard Peltier)

[foreverblunted718]

@darrinthaboii hence the quote from bob marley "how long will they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look"

its true man, the powers that be dont want us to have leaders who bring people together. they want us divided.. republican - democrat, theist athiest, woman - man, black - white, good - bad, etc.

but the question i had was, why would he say nat turner was bad? the only answer i cud see was hundreds of slaves killed as consiquence to his reblion. but he said the youth WOKE UP DIGi

[youngmoneybaby15]

Such strong words, amazing.

[sassff]

such amazing and touching song
