We As Americans

作曲 : Luis Resto/Marshall Mathers

There's an intruder in my house

He cut my phone line: can't dial out (Sh*t!)

I scream for police, but I doubt

They're gonna hear me when I shout

A couple of ****tails'll send me to jail

There's a couple of cops hot on my trail, but this time

When I get pulled over there's a Doberman Pinscher

And a pit bull in the seat, these pigs'll get bit

Foolin' with me, quit foolin' with me

*****, you're gonna see, no pistol in the seat

Why it always gotta be an issue when you're me?

And which you're gonna see in the long run, I'ma be the wrong one

You wanna hara*s with this limo-tinted gla*s

Flashin' that flashlight on my a*s — where was you at

Last night when them a*sholes ran up on my gra*s?

Rapper slash actor, kiss the crack of my cracker slash a*s

They took away my right to bear arms

What I'm 'posed to fight with, bare palms?

Yeah, right! They comin' with bombs

I'm comin' with flare guns; we as Americans

We as Americans, us as a citizen

Gotta protect ourselves, look at how sh*t has been

We better check ourselves, livin' up in these streets

Through worse and through better health, survivin' by any means

We as Americans, us as a citizen

We are Samaritans, what do we get us in?

We better check ourselves, look at how sh*t has been

Take a look where you live, this is America

And we are Americans

I make beaucoup bucks, wearin' beaucoup vests

Drama hangin' over my head, like a voodoo hex

I coulda been next to fly over the cuckoo's nest

With you-know-who, with an S tattooed to my chest

But I've finessed it, now I've got the industry pissy

Ever since me and Dre split it fifty-fifty on 50

It's funny, we got a buzz spreadin' quicker than makin' paper

Airplanes out of a twenty — F*ck money!

I don't rap for dead presidents, I'd rather see

The President , it's never been said, but I set precedents

And the standards and they can't stand it

My name shoulda been \"Bastard\", the sh*t shoulda been plastered

On my forehead with a stamp, I shoulda been blasted

I shoulda been had a cap put in my a*s

But I'm too swift and fast for that, I'm past it

I'm too old to go and cruise Gratiot — f*ck that sh*t!

I done seen how fast this rap sh*t

Can turn into some pap-pap sh*t, that quick, snap click

But this time, they got the f*ckin' automatic

Ain't no one gon' test this man — clack

We as Americans, us as a citizen

Gotta protect ourselves, look at how sh*t has been

We better check ourselves, livin' up in these streets

Through worse and through better health, survivin' by any means

We as Americans, us as a citizen

We are Samaritans, what do we get us in?

We better check ourselves, look at how sh*t has been

Take a look where you live, this is America

And we are Americans

(Shht!) I got a secret if you can keep it between us

I tuck two ninas under my jeans, either side of my *****

Under my long johns, under my Sean Johns

One run-in with the long arm of the law, I'm long gone

I'ma do five years — no less than that, no questions asked

So it might be a good idea that I stop right here

And quit while I'm ahead, already in the red

Already got a steady infrared meant for my head

A target on my back, bigger problems than that

Bin Laden on my a*s, he probably gon' send a task

I ain't gon' even ask, they ain't gon' let me pack

They ain't gon' give me my semi, but I got my w**d back

We as Americans, us as a citizen

Gotta protect ourselves, look at how sh*t has been

We better check ourselves, livin' up in these streets

Through worse and through better health, survivin' by any means

We as Americans, us as a citizen

We are Samaritans, what do we get us in?

We better check ourselves, look at how sh*t has been

Take a look where you live, this is America

And we are Americans
