lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come figure it out
Unravel what Pat Battle's album's about
If you retain doubt, I'll pave you a route
The people who made me came from the South
Mama and Papa picked cotton as kids
How is it proper, me shopping at Lids?
The bid that they did won them no compensation
We own this whole nation by right, I ain't playin'
Debate It - Is it insane or is it funny?
Patrons of a country with a rapist on the money?
Trying to negate this place must burn?
While they waste each space to the base of the urn?
Well I'll stay stern while I wait my turn
State my terms with the weight they've earned
My fate I've learned is a case concerned with race
Confirmed by the state I spurn, thus


[Chorus]
I raise my freak flag high in every area
The kind that take you to the cemetery, bury ya'
Wave it in disagreement when they say I pledge allegiance
God bless our youth America

[Verse 2]
Viddy well kiddies
Whether riding with a semi, or cycling on a Divvy
Be privy to the idiosyncrasies in the city
It's gritty in the inner vicinity - That's shitty
To me, and to every other man it oughta be
But only if he demonstrates the proper qualities
'Cause Pat Battle's a radical, think in the mathematical
If I could do have the shit I say I'd take a sabbatical
Stab a couple of cops in the clavicle with a cleaver
Shit on the lawn of Congress and vomit a ton of jaundice and leave it
The reason that I'm being so facetious in my pieces?
The thesis of our freedom isn't peaches
Run down the list of everything that ain't kosher
Any of it new to you at all? No Sir
You pose the question - Where do we get aggression?
Our ancestors couldn't say much more than "Yessum"
So fuck a holy hymn, peep the pandemonium
The podium is slimy like it's live at Nickelodeon
This isn't my voice, I'm a vessel, I'm a host
Hip isn't my poise, I don't wrestle with an oath
I represent a few ideas you should hear
First tell your masters, that after this year
We capture their fear with some raps in their ear
While the Blacks and the Queers have a laugh and beer

[Chorus]
I raise my freak flag high in every area
The kind that take you to the cemetery, bury ya'
Wave it in disagreement when they say I pledge allegiance
Don't believe a thing they're selling ya'


[Verse 3]
I wish you'd admit it
Your heroes are villains, they rape and they pillage
Desecrate villages, made up of innocent
Citizens different, bombs indiscriminate
Limited images infiltrate censorship
Benefits trickle up into the one percent
Primitive passion of criminal factions
Passin' an act as a biblical action
Fuck all you bastards, burst into flame
We'll torch every mansion, curse every name
Choke all them folks who invoke and quote
From that joke of a book to evoke all your hopes
The church and the state can both go up in smoke
No I haven't misspoke, I'll defend what I wrote
So give me a reason to not commit treason
You got the floor to make peace, but you won't
So pass the soap
I feel so gross when they ask me to vote
That fantasy hope is a fallacy hoax
Majestic malaise, don't be mad at the host
I just gotta release a grievance whenever heathens sing
I Pledge Allegiance
God Bless Our Youth America!

[Chorus]
I raise my freak flag high in every area
The kind that take you to the cemetery, bury ya'
Wave it in disagreement when they say I pledge allegiance
Don't believe a thing, don't believe God

[Refrain]
Say a prayer for the youth of America
Say a prayer for the youth of America
Say a prayer for the youth of America
Say a prayer for the youth, say a prayer for the youth
Say a prayer for the youth of America
Say a prayer for the youth, say a prayer for the youth
Say a prayer for the youth of America
Don't believe a thing they're selling ya'
