lol, just a remix of Lil Wayne's Mr. Carter track for my AP U.S. History class. 25 points extra credit :P, rate and comment.
Hey Mr. U.S., I read about you,
Not too long ago, and I believe I am too
An American, so tell me what do I do?
Cuz the world hates me, are my ideals still true?
From New England to Manila, we extended our reach
Till the land of slavery became the land of the free.
Till Polk took the country from sea to shining sea
From a city on a hill to Manifest Destiny.
And to tell you the truth, its manifest to me.
That sometimes you just need to learn to how to breathe,
If you want the world to know that you rep democracy
Theyve been asking, searching, for the land of the free.
Spain was askin, when it fought against Franco.
China was searchin, when your doors were closed
You were wonderin, why Civil Rights were put on hold
And Im askin too, if the truth be told.
Hey Mr. U.S., youve really grown too
As a people, got faces black, white, to blue.
Thrift was the value that the Puritans grew,
And faded when Jazz and flappers intrude.
You used to listen when the people chose to speak
Edwards and Whitefield awakened my belief,
The children of today are just the legacy of
Ms. Anthony and Doctor Kings big hearted deeds.
But now you turn away Latinos from work
While Asians gotta pay for excelling in a course
Affirmative action aint perfected, for sure
And Iraqis dont got nukes, so whatre you fighting for?
Whatre you striving for? Youre already at the peak
Of our world, in our lives, so you better chase the
Drive you grew on, like Gatsby chased Daisy,
Like Wall Street chase money, like thoughts chase me.
Am I talking to Mr. United States?
Cause are you united, are you here to stay?
Youve been through a lot, but yo you cant just take
A break, if the world wants to see your face
Democracy and libertys your ideology
Through isolation and intervention youll always still be
The city on a hill if you pursue all your decrees
And respect the people that you have been trying so hard to reach
You survived all the hardships, made a Constitution
Greatest contribution, was uniting all the sections
From slavery, Commies, even your own Presidents
And set the precedent for global recognition
Hey Mr. U.S., its time to take a stand
Now we the people will show you our hand,
Weve been asking, searchin, and wondering and
Now we want you, we pointing at Uncle Sam.
