God Bless Amerika
lil wayne Lyrics

Uh, my mind’s filled with mine fields
My thoughts are dangerous and unpredictable, with many potentially explosive and harmful ideas.

The ashes fall, the wine spills
The destruction and chaos of the world is evident, as everything valuable is lost and wasted.

The world stops, drops and rolls
Society is constantly on high alert and reacting to danger, whether it's real or imagined.

It’s Judgment Day or a fire drill
People are living in a constant state of fear, anticipating the end of the world or a catastrophe to occur at any moment.

Yea, I pour out my heart, have a drink
I express my deepest emotions and feelings, often turning to alcohol to cope with them.

They say the drunk never lie, they ain’t never lyin yea
While under the influence, my words may be more honest and raw than when sober.

My country tis of thee, Sweet land of kill 'em all and let em die
The United States has a reputation for violence and destruction, where people are more likely to be killed than saved.

God bless Amerika
A plea for divine intervention and guidance for a country in chaos and turmoil.

This so godless Amerika
An observation that despite its religious roots, America has become an irreligious and immoral society.

Heard tomorrow ain’t promised today
The future is unpredictable and uncertain, and life can be taken away at any moment.

The end of time is like a hour away
Time is running out for humanity, and it feels like the world is on the brink of destruction.

Damn, military minded, lost and can’t find it
The country's military strategy and mindset is misguided and ineffective, leading to a sense of hopelessness and confusion.

The stars on the flag are never shining
The country's symbols and ideals have lost their luster and meaning, and are failing to inspire hope or pride.

Uh, I saw a butterfly in hell today
Even in the depths of despair and suffering, there can be moments of beauty and hope.

Will I die or go to jail today?
Life feels like a constant battle and struggle, with the constant threat of death or imprisonment always present.

'Cause I live by the sword and die by the sword
My actions have consequences, and the violence and aggression I exhibit will eventually lead to my downfall.

Heard police was looking for me, I’mma hide by abroad
Law enforcement is a constant threat, and fleeing to another country seems like the only way to escape persecution.

Shootin stars in my pocket, bitch sit on my rocket
I am holding onto my dreams and aspirations, hoping they will propel me to success and happiness.

I’m wired off a socket, but still shockin
Despite feeling overwhelmed and overstimulated, I am still able to create and innovate.

Everybody wanna tell me what I need
People are constantly trying to influence and control my life, even if they don't have my best interests at heart.

You can play a role in my life but not the lead
I am my own master, and won't let anyone take the reins from me.

If there’s food for thought then I’m guilty of greed
I am always seeking knowledge and information, to the point of excess and obsession.

Mama said take what you want, I took heed yea
I learned from my mother to be assertive and take control of my life, and I have taken that lesson to heart.

My little breed, yea
A term of endearment for my people and community.

Back to life, back to reality
A return to the harshness and bleakness of the real world, after being caught up in fantasy and illusion.

Been eating my girl and she’s so sweet, got cavities
I am indulging in pleasure and desire, to the point where it may be harmful or damaging.

Granted we do it for vanity not humanity
My motivations are often selfish and superficial, and don't stem from a desire to help or connect with others.

But what’s appealing to me is under banana trees, love
My true desire is for a simple and idyllic existence, filled with love and happiness.

I go so hard, I tried to pay homage but I was overcharged
I am constantly pushing myself to the limit, but sometimes this leads to negative consequences or failure.

Ain’t that a bitch?
Expressing frustration and disappointment with a situation or person.

I’m just a nut tryna bust a nut in the nut shell
I am trying to achieve something that seems impossible or unlikely, but I won't give up until I succeed or fail.

Used to say fuck the police, now I say fuck jail
My perspective on law enforcement and punishment has shifted, but my defiance and rebelliousness remain.

Same shit, different air freshner
The problems and issues in my life and society continue to persist, despite cosmetic changes or attempts to disguise them.

I don’t play boy, I ain’t Hugh Hefner
I am not interested in superficial or transactional relationships, and value genuine connection and intimacy.

Tryna be a step ahead, but a few feet behind
I am striving for progress and success, but feel like I am always falling short or being held back.

Two fingers to my head, pop! Peace of mind
A gesture of self-harm or suicide, in the pursuit of relief and calmness.

I be in the cloud, cloud number 9
I am often in a state of euphoria or escape, whether through drugs or fantasy.

And I just fucked the clock and let it come to time
I am ignoring the passage of time and the pressures of deadlines, instead choosing to live in the moment and let the future come as it may.

It’s a cold world, I put on a mink
The world is harsh and unforgiving, and I need to protect myself with material possessions and status symbols.

There’s a chain of commands, I’m the missing link
I am an outsider and rebel, not conforming to the systems and rules of society.

I heard tomorrow ain’t promised today
The future is uncertain and fleeting, and we should live in the present moment and appreciate what we have.

And I’m smoking on them flowers, catch the bouquet
I am enjoying the simple pleasures in life, and embracing the beauty and fragility of nature.

Here we live by the sword and die by the sword
Our actions have consequences, and we must face the repercussions of our violent and aggressive behavior.

The police is looking for me, I’mma hide by abroad
I am evading the law and seeking refuge in another country, due to fear or desperation.

Shootin' stars in my pocket, bitch sit on my rocket
I have big dreams and plans, and am ready to take off and achieve greatness.

I’m wired off a socket, but still shockin'
I am highly energetic and intense, and despite feeling drained or overstimulated, I am still able to create and innovate.

Everybody wanna tell me what I need
People are constantly trying to influence and control my life, even if they don't have my best interests at heart.

You can play a role in my life but not the lead
I am my own master, and won't let anyone take the reins from me.

I saw a butterfly in hell today
Even in the depths of despair and suffering, there can be moments of beauty and hope.

Will I die or go to jail today?
Life feels like a constant battle and struggle, with the constant threat of death or imprisonment always present.
