Which song do u think tells the truth more about america? I think Jadakiss's Why explains more.

Wow. Are there any non-rap songs that you could put up there that describe America? Those are pretty biased if you ask me. What song describes America best? Well, our national anthem, of course. Another thing, you need to make your banner smaller.

i would say the national anthem and the one that was song themost in 9/11 insteadof the national one. not sure what its called. it wen tlike " cuz im proud to be an american, where at least i know im free..." and on and on. the other songs can go for other countries but the "official ones" are the ones made for u.s

lol songs that describe america - The Remedy by Jason Muraz lol they always play it on the 4th of July =P Jadakiss's song has about 2 lines (tops!) in reference to america and its "why did bush knock down the towers?"

political rap??? since when? noooooooo..... nuh uh.

the song that describes the country best imo is Lamb of God- As The Palaces Burn

Talib Kweli's song the proud is amazing... talks about how corrupt our society and government actually is.... almost everything he says is SO TRUE...


The proud
Stand tall or don't stand at all, c'mon
Uhh, yeah
Break it down
What we do?

[Chorus]
We survive, it's more than pride
We stay alive, ready to ride

[Chorus] - repeat through intro

[Intro: Talib Kweli]
One two, one two yo
Aight.. put it down yo
June 21, 2001
Timothy McVeigh is executed
And the country breathe a sigh of relief
Goodness prevails over evil, it seems
Somehow when he's gone, we feel safer
Little do we know

[Verse One]
Today the paper say Timothy McVeigh's in hell
So everything's okay and all must be well
I remember Oklahoma when they put out the blaze
And put Islamic terrorist bombing, on the front page
It's like saying only gays get AIDS, propaganda
Like saying the problem's over when they locked that man up
Wrong! It's just the beginning, the first inning
Battle for America's soul, the devil's winning
The President is Bush, the Vice President's a Dick
So a whole lot of f**kin is what we gon' get
They don't wanna raise the babies so the election is fixed
That's why we don't be f**kin with politics
They bet on that, parents fought and got wet for that
Hosed down, bit by dogs, and got blacks into house arrest for that
It's all good except for that - we still poor
Money, power and respect is what we kill for, for real

[Chorus] - repeat through interlude

[Interlude]
August 4, 2001
A drunken police officer mows down an entire family in Brooklyn
The judge lets him go with no bail
It reminds us, of just how worthless our lives are to the justice system
I struggle, to explain the situation to my son, it's hard

[Verse Two]
Niggaz with knowledge is more dangerous than than niggaz with guns
They make the guns easy to get and try to keep niggaz dumb
Target the gangs and graffiti with the Prop 21
I already know the deal but what the fudge do I tell my son?
I want him livin right, livin good, respect the rules
He's five years old and he still thinkin cops is cool
How do I break the news that when he gets some size
He'll be percieved as a threat or see the fear in they eyes
It's in they job description to terminate the threat
So 41 shots to the body is what he can expect
The precedent is set, don't matter if he follow the law
I know I'll give my son pride and make him swallow it all (damn!)
fudge the pigs! I think the pigs killed Big and 'Pac too
If they didn't they know who did, they got to!
Who they serve and protect, nigga not you
Cops shot off of ten G's but they got glocks too
Let you protect yourself, or better yet respect yourself
Straight into the hospital is where you gotta check yourself
They be gettin tips from snitches and rival crews
Doin them favors so they workin for the drug dealers too
Just business enforcers with hate in they holsters
Shoot you in the back, won't face you like a soldier
Kurt Loder asked me what I say to a dead cop's wife
Cops kill my people everyday, that's life

[Chorus] - repeat through final interlude

[Final Interlude]
September 11, 2001
Terrorists attack the Pentagon and the World Trade Center
Kills thousand and permanently scars America's false sense of security
We see the best examples of humanity in the face of the worst
As fire fighters, police officers, rescue workers
and volunteers of all sorts, fight to save lives
The world will never be the same again

[Verse Three]
My heart go out to everybody at Ground Zero
Red, black, yellow, white and brown heroes
It's more complicated than black and white
To give your own life is the greatest sacrifice
But it's hard for me to walk down the block
Seeing rats and roaches, crack viles and 40 ounce posters
People broken down from years of oppression
Become patriots when their way of life is threatened
It's a hard conversation to have
We lost kids, moms and dads, people ready to fight for the flag
Damn, when did shit get this bad?
America kill the innocent too, the cycle of violence is sad
Damn! Welcome to the world, we here
We've been at, war for years but it's much more clear (yeah)
We got to face what lies ahead
Fight for our truth and freedom and, ride for the dead

[Chorus] - repeat to end

Oh there was one more. What's going on? by various artists.

black eyed peas. that's like the only song of theirs that has a good point

none of the above. american idiot - green day. very good song go d/l it now!

Franco-Unamerican by NOFX

Better.

the blackeyed peas song

Has anyone ever seen the video for "Year of the Rat" by Badly Drawn Boy?

hmmm id say jadakiss more.... but in my opinion.... he gives mroe of a standpoint of his and the "black community".... to tell u the truth.... i think its crap that the country's dividing into communities of race and color.

yes.. how peaceful...when he hugs them.... heh

i voted for jadakiss cause most of tha stuff he says is true.. black eyed peas is just asking where is the love. jadakiss raps about what happens in america.


[Jadakiss]
Aha
It's dat real
Yo, why is Jadakiss as hard as it gets
Why is the industry designed to keep the artist in dept
And why them dudes ain't ridin' if there part of your set
And why they never get it poppin' but they party to death
Yea, and why they gon give you life for a murder
Turn around only give you eight months for a burner, it's goin down
Why they sellin' niggaz CD's for under a dime
If it's all love daddy why you come wit your nine
Why my niggaz ain't get that cake
Why is a brother up North better than Jordan
That ain't get that break
Why you ain't stackin' instead of tryin' to be fly
Why is rattin' at an all time high
Why are you even alive
Why they kill Tupac n' Chris
Why at the bar you ain't take straight shots instead of poppin Crist'
Why them bullets have to hit that door
Why did Kobe have to hit that raw
Why he kiss that whore
Why

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]
All that I been givin'
Is this thing that I've been living
They got me in the system
Why they gotta do me like that
Try'd to make it my way
But got sent up on the highway
Why, oh why
Why they do me like that

[Jadakiss]
Why would niggaz push pounds and powder
Why did bush knock down the towers
Why you around them cowards
Why Aaliyah have to take that flight
Why my nigga D ain't pull out his Ferrari
Why he take that bike
Why they gotta open your package and read your mail
Why they stop lettin' niggaz get degreez in jail

Why you gotta do eighty-five percent of your time
And why do niggaz lie in eighty-five percent of they rhymes
Why a nigga always want what he can't have
Why I can't come through in the pecan Jag
Why did crack have to hit so hard
Even though it's almost over
Why niggaz can't get no jobs
Why they come up wit the witness protection
Why they let the terminator win the election
Come on, pay attention
Why sell in the stores what you can sell in the streets
Why I say the hottest **** but we sellin' the least

[Chorus]

[Jadakiss]
Uh, yea, yo
Why Halle have to let a white man pop her to get a Oscar
Why Denzel have to be crooked before he took it
Why they didn't make the CL6 wit a clutch
And if you don't smoke why the hell you reachin' for my dutch
Why rap, cause I need air time
Why be on the curb wit a "while I" I need a bare sign
Why all the young niggaz is dyin'
Cause they moms at work, they pops is gone, they livin' wit iron
Why they ain't give us a cure for aids
Why my diesel have fiends in the spot on the floor for days
Why you screamin' like it's slug, it's only the hawk
Why my buzz in L.A. ain't like it is in New York
Why you forcin' you to be hard
Why ain't you a thug by choice
Why the whole world love my voice
Why try to tell 'em that it's the flow son
And you know why they made the new twenties
Cause I got all my old ones
That's why

[Chorus]

jadakiss-why (lol i wish i had all the old ones but i got alot lol)

this is rly hard to choose from, i like the 'why' song and 'where is the love' song. lol.

Both ^_^ And lol Jadakiss makes me laugh my effin a$$ off when he says why did bush knock down the towers. hahaha I hate that a$$wipe Bush!!!

Black Eyed Peas, tops.

I hate that line.

I voted both.
But. There's a better song that really tells the truth about America.
The song "Amerika" by Rammstein. Oh yes.

I think Jadakiss's Why tells more. I like that song.

eminem > white america.

that's my pessimistic talking..

bep.

Wow, thats a hard choice, so i think they are both representing america the same amount.

i picked none ...cuz i really dont care ....there are better song out there that describe america ...and soo far this isnt .

yea eminem 8) mosh or white america.
but then that talib kweli one is good

but yea. those are kinda dissing america. its slowly crumbling as china rises to power
