Obama Nation Lyrics

Obama Nation by Lowkey

• This track is not an attack upon the American people,
• It’s an attack upon the system within which they live.
• Since 1945 the United States has attempted to overthrow more than 50 foreign governments,
• In the process the US has caused the end of life for several million people,
• And condemned many millions more to a life of agony and despair.

• The strength of your dreaming prevents you from reason,
• The American dream only makes sense if you’re sleeping,
• It’s just a cruel fantasy; their politics took my voice away,
• But their music gave it back to me,
• The land where the lumpen are consumed by consumption,
• Killing themselves to shovel down food in abundance,
• I guess a rapper from Britain is a rare voice,
• America is capitalism on steroids,
• Natives kept in casinos and reservations,
• Displaced slaves never given reparations,
• Take everything from Native Americans,
• And wonder why i call it the racist experiment,
• Afraid of your melanin, the same as it’s ever been,
• That aint gonna change with the race of the president,
• I see imperialism under your skin tone,
• You could call it Christopher Columbus syndrome.

• Is it Obama’s nation? Or an abomination?
• Is it Obama’s nation? Or an abomination?
• Is it Obama’s nation? Or an abomination?
• Doesn’t make any difference when they bomb your nation.
• O! say can you see by the dawn’s early light,
• What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
• Whose broad stripes and bright stars through perilous fight,
• O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.

• The world’s entertainer, the world’s devastator,
• From Venezuela, to Mesopotamia,
• Your cameras lie, cause they have to hide the savage crimes,
• Committed on leaders that happen to try and nationalize,
• Eating competitions? while the worlds been starving,
• Beat up communism with the help of Bin Laden,
• Where would your war of terror be without that man,
• Every day you create more Nidal Hassan’s,
• Kill a man from the military, you’re a weirdo,
• But kill a wog from the Middle East you’re a hero,
• Your country is causing screams that never reach your ear holes,
• America inflicted a million Ground Zero’s,
• Follow the dollar and swallow your humanity,
• Soldier’s committing savagery you never even have to see,
• Those mad at me, writing emails angrily,
• I’m not anti-America, America is anti-me!

• Is it Obama’s nation? Or an abomination?
• Is it Obama’s nation? Or an abomination?
• Is it Obama’s nation? Or an abomination?
• Doesn’t make any difference when they bomb your nation.
• And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
• Gave proof through the night, that our flag was still there,
• O! say does that star spangled banner yet wave,
• O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

• I don’t care if him and Cheney are long lost relations,
• What matters more is the policies, I lost my patience,
• Stop debating bringing race into the conversation,
• Occupation and cooperation equals profit making,
• It’s over; people wake up from the dream now,
• Nobel peace prize, Jay Z on speed-dial,
• It’s the substance within, not the colour of your skin,
• Are you the puppeteer or the puppet on the string?,
• So many believed it was instantly gonna’ change,
• There was still Dennis Ross, Brzezinski and Robert Gates,
• What happened to Chas freeman? (AIPAC),
• What happened to Tristan Anderson?,
• It’s a machine that keeps that man breathing,
• I have the heart to say what all the other rappers aren’t,
• Words like Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan,
• The wars on, and you morons were all wrong,
• I call Obama a bomber cause those are your bombs.
