Obama Nation 2 Lyrics - Lowkey

[Intro] 

This track is not an attack upon the American people 

It is 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 live of agony and despair 

[Verse 1] 

The strength of your dreamin 

Prevents you from reason 

The American dream 

Only makes sense if youre sleepin 

Its just a cruel fantasy 

Their politics took my voice away 

But their music gave it back to me 

The land where their __? Or consumed by consumption 

Killing themselves to shovel down food and 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 its 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 

[Chorus 2x] 

Is it Obamas nation or an abomination? 

Is it Obamas nation or an abomination? 

Is it Obamas 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 

[Verse 2] 

The worlds entertainer 

The worlds 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 starvin 

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 Hassans 

Kill a man from the military, youre a weirdo 

But kill a wog from the Middle East youre a hero 

Your country is causing screams that are never reaching ear holes 

America inflicted a million ground zeros 

Follow the dollar and swallow your humanity 

Soldiers committing savagery you never even have to see 

Those mad at me, writing in emails angrily 

Im not anti-America, America is anti-me 

[Chorus 2x] 

Is it Obamas nation or an abomination? 

Is it Obamas nation or an abomination? 

Is it Obamas 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! Does that star spangled banner yet wave 

O'er land of the free and the home of the brave 

[Verse 3] 

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 conversation 

Occupation and cooperation equals profit makin 

Its over - people wake up from the dream now 

Nobel peace prize, jay z on speed dial 

Its the substance within, not the colour of your skin 

Are you the puppeteer or the puppet on the string 

So many believe that they was instantly gonna change 

There was still Dennis Ross, Brzezinski And Robert Gates 

What happened to Chas freeman (APAC), 

What happened to Tristan Anderson its a machine that keeps that man breathing 

I have the heart to say what all the other rappers arent 

Words like Iraq, Palestine - Afghanistan 

The wars on, and you morons were all wrong 

I call Obama a bomber Cause those are your bombs
