Derek Minor - IGWT Lyrics
[Verse 1 – Derek Minor]Used to be off of them boats was Africans in ropesNow what get off of these boats is pounds of cokeOr sex slaves … ain’t it sick?What you prefer? Take your pickHigh schools got armed guards ‘cause teenagers bear armsAnd they’ll crack your head and put that video on World StarThat boy you callin’ a nerd got a bomb off in his backpackPlan to get revenge and leave a crater where his class atI saw the sickest thing when Channel 4 News was onA momma put a two-year-old inside a stoveWe look at third worlds and turn up our noseGot the nerve to tell God we got it on our own[Hook – Thi’sl]One nation under GodThat’s what we supposed to be, that’s why I’m praying hardIn God We TrustI said In God We TrustIn God We TrustI said In God We Trust[Verse 2 – Derek Minor]Head cold, so I went to WalgreensEntered the pharmacy and asked for codeineTold them I’m a rapper, they laughed and told me to leaveI left with Vitamin C and an itchy throat for weeksWe traded cocaine for mollies, heroin for sizzurpThe devil eatin’ the hood, I think America’s for dessertThe suburbs love rappers, just come to one of our showsYou’ll see Tabitha and Matthew repeating all our flowsWhile you think she tryna get that tat, but think you wearin’ a snapback‘Cause culture don’t discriminate and you just thinkin’ it’s black rapThe poor tryna survive, we forgot about the ghettoNow my hood is famous, and Satan is Geppetto[Hook – Thi’sl]To the republic, for which it standsPlease take the government and put it in his handsIn God We TrustI said In God We TrustIn God We TrustI said In God We Trust[Verse 3 – Derek Minor]To all the patriots who died in war bloody, every slaveI lift this country to the Lord and in Jesus’ name I prayThat the gospel rip our heart, and we turn from wicked waysI know you gave us this country and they takin’ it to dateSo listen to me, politician: I’m not talking superstitionIt’s the fight and the survival of a nation, and we gon’ need way more than religionIn a tragedy we run to he who gives us hope and then we get up fixedlyBut I pray that we forever let America submit to the King so one day we’ll be …[Hook – Thi’sl]One nation under GodThat’s what we supposed to be, that’s why I’m praying hardIn God We TrustI said In God We TrustIn God We TrustI said In God We TrustTo the republic, for which it standsPlease take the government and put it in his handsIn God We TrustI said In God We Trust
