lyrics

I was born and raised in America
This country was a special area
But now I'm living in mass hysteria
I'm living too fast in America

I'm just trying, what to say, you can't go back to yesterday
How did things get this way, I guess corruption is here to stay
Politicians filled with greed, they just take what they need
All the people who they see, they cut up and let them bleed
Gangsters hanging in the street, gotta be careful who you meet
If you try to score some dope, you better believe in love and hope

I was born and raised in America
I thought it was the greatest area
And now it's just mass hysteria
Is there truth in America

When I watch, what's to be, I don't believe just what I see
Everybody's now on line, no one seems to have no time
Used to cost a little dime, to connect with someones mind
Now your cel phone takes you there, anywhere is everywhere
Tower lights up in the sky, they watch us live, they watch us die

I was born and raised in America
Used to be my favorite area
But now I'm living in mass hysteria
And I'm looking for America

Did the future come and go, If it did I don't know
I know there's life in outer space, I know America led the race
New world might be in the sky, I pray to God I get that high

I was born and raised in America
