lyrics

[Intro Dialogue: The Marine Rapper]
You might want to sit down for this
This is the new Star-Spangled Banner

[HOOK 2x: The Marine Rapper]
Star-Spangled banger my aka
Red and white is da flag I wave
USA of A we da biggest gang
Star-Spangled banger my aka

[Verse 1: The Marine Rapper]
Star-Spangled banger my aka
Represent USA everyday
Not just independence, Vet’ran’s day
Like most of you posers and all you fakes
But still you don’t wanna embrace me in
Because of my face and the shade of it
An old man, once told me, they’ll kill cause
I’m educated, they hate a black patriot

That yell BLM, but you messed up
Once had a message, you fucked it up
I’m in the middle
Cause whites think I’m trouble
And blacks call me uncle tom, what the fuck
10 years I served as a Marine troop
Combat deployments I lived through two
College degrees and I’m still in school
Record is clean, but I’m black
You gon kill me too?

[HOOK 2x: The Marine Rapper]
Star-Spangled banger my aka
Red and white is da flag I wave
USA of A we da biggest gang
Star-Spangled banger my aka


[Verse 2: The Marine Rapper]
Star-Spangled Banger my AKA
Shooting from rooftops wit in-fan-tray
They tried to kill us with da AK spray
But we shot back, let the rifle bang
Gave up my youth and my soul to see
My daughter again there’s a hole in me
So none of you question my loyalty
The question is: where is your loyalty?
3,000 days, was it not enough?
Decade I gave, was it not enough?
The guns, and the slugs, and the blood
On his clothes, through the holes
That I saw, was that not enough?
I’m asking these questions to citizens
In the same place that I’m living in
You say that I never did serve for you
If you feel that way then it’s fuck you too!


[HOOK 2x: The Marine Rapper]
Star-Spangled banger my aka
Red and white is da flag I wave
USA of A we da biggest gang
Star-Spangled banger my aka

[Verse 3: The Marine Rapper]
My AKA
Live in NighTMRica so afraid
Swing dat baton den dey pass da blame
Monsters is running every race
Monsters is coming in every form
Monsters is wearing our uniforms
People is looking to settle scores
You shootin’ us down like a fuckin’ sport
Super bold, now you team activist
But you do not have the sack for this
National anthem I stand for it
None of y’all standing but y’all mad at Kapernick?!
Got love for LEOs that keep us safe
Fuck all the ones who take dads away
Fuck dat third verse
In da star spangled banner
Dis my spangled banner, it’s time for change

[Outro Chorus 2x: The Marine Rapper]
I’m just trynna live
I’m just trynna live
Ain’t no love, Ain’t no love
I’m da Star Spangled Banger
