Verse 1
Em 
I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
Corruption, Lies, Deception
Putting the world on the line here
Bm 
Am 
Jealousy, Opportunity
Bm 
We ain't standin' for it,
C 
G 
Bm 
we ain't standin' for it,
G 
Bm 
we ain't standin' for it,
C 
Bm 
we ain't standin' for it
Em 
Takin' me, takin' me, takin' me,
why they profilin' me racially?
It's hard to live the American dream
when you just keep awakenin'
Without the filters and clever angles,
you don't see the stars,
ain't spangled
Wakin' up from all the programmin',
wakin' up to see the real danger
G 
Bm 
G 
Wakin' up  just to wish it was dreams,
Bm 
wakin' up still inside of the dream
G 
But it's not the one you
Bm 
wish it would be
Nightmares like Dane and Dane, yeah
G 
Bm 
You remember the screen acting like
you don't know what's going on
C 
G 
Oh, you don't know
F#dim 
Bm 
what's going      on?
So much to talk about,
Em 
had to put it in a song
Oh, I'm in my feelings, huh?
All my people, they hit them up
Tell me what they kill them for Mike Ditka,
you got it good,
you ain't really tripping, huh?
They never pay attention,
Bm 
it's the only way that they listen up
G 
We gon' show the world
Bm 
what's really going on
You ain't gotta speak for us
C 
G 
Bm 
It's a  free world,
we don't like something
And we ain't gotta agree with ya
G 
Bm 
Shout out to the presidents
Cause you know they know
C 
what's up
G 
C 
Bm 
Shout out to the camera phone
Cause you know they cover up
Am 
Em 
With white covers they cover us
Bloodstains made by the murderer
That was paid for protecting
and serving us
Bm 
Now all I hear is blue lives matter
Em 
Ain't that some shit
Bm 
And if you say black lives matter
Em 
They gon' call you a terrorist
Damn
Take a knee, take a knee, take a knee,
take a knee, take a knee
Take a knee, take a knee, take a knee,
take a knee, take a knee
Take any, take any, take any,
take any, take any
Take any, take any, take any,
Bm 
Am 
take any, take

Bm 
Em 
G 
We ain't standing for it
Em 
We ain't standing for it
You worried bout the flag
I'm worried bout my pilots
They tried to pledge allegiance
They did em like Jimmy Hopkins
Every time they get nervous
They feel like murdering
I'm looking for a suit
I'm going to a service,
G 
Bm 
why you in a church worshipping,
G 
Bm 
but from God you the furthest
Am 
If they ain't teach you
G 
to love everybody
F#dim 
Bm 
then it's the wrong one
that you're serving
G 
But your judgmental smiles,
Bm 
and your prejudiced styles,
G 
got the world ready for the purge
they ready to do it right now
Bm 
Em 
I love this country
I'm just tired of you not accepting me,
I tell you everything you don't listen
C 
Em 
so what you ex  pect from me
And you don't rep for me,
G 
this is where I lay my head
Em 
C 
so  I guess I'm sleeping with the enemy
Em 
C 
Em 
Bm 
we ain't
C 
Bm 
C 
Bm 
standing for BYE!
