lyrics

Take a deep breath
Exhale
Excuse me
While I express myself
Don’t forget to breathe
And exhale

America
Open for business
Get to the money
Make a career
Find you a woman
Buy a new home
Have a few children
Hope that they listen
We living in danger
Save for tuition
Send them to college
They miseducated
Missing the taxes
For history classes

That history fake
A hiccup of habit
Habitually happens
Back to get busy
Get a big raise
Company car
Start smoking cigars
Toast a few drinks
Over caviar to living large
(Ring, ring, ring)
Call from the office
It must be the boss
They cutting they losses
Increasing the profits
Leaving you jobless
Tossing and turning
Turn to the bottle
Bottoms up
But it’s becoming a problem
Soaking in sorrow
It grow to aggression
Becoming a mess
Next you try to play the victim
Got a new mistress
It help with the stress
Since your wife left
Life fallen to pieces
Had it all
But looks can be deceiving

Take a deep breath
Exhale
Excuse me
While I express myself
Don’t forget to breathe
And exhale

America
Open for business
Taking your children
Feeding them poison
Pointing they finger
Figures as fathers
Falling with bishops
Bitches n hypocrites
Building a system
Not for impoverished
Profits and lawsuits
Lost in a dark place
Raising the draw bridge
Taking the hard way
Waiting for God

I take it he’s gone
We waited all day
All month
All year
24/7
365
Not a single sight of him
But a sign that says
America
Open for business
Get to the money
It’s making us monsters
Mocking our freedom
Deep in the system
Devils and demons
Brothers and sisters
I'm helping you see them
We living a nightmare
Working for pennies
Working as peasants
Worshiping idols
Why do we do it?
Running through cycles
Tryna be current
Searching for perfect
Loving the weekend
Drinking to drive
Whats driving people
Ending my evening
Uneventful
But filled with meaning
