There ain't no kings
In the USA
You're not god (motherfucker)
No matter what you say
You break your word (hey, hey)
You steal and lie
But you can't break us
No matter how you try (OLE!)
This land is ours
And we are free
From the desert sands
To the shining sea
Hand in hand
Unbent, unbroke
You spit your hate
We wake, we woke (you heard us right!)
Because no one (no one)
Can take our dreams away
And no man (not one)
Owns the USA! (Stand up, fight back!)
There ain't no kings (no, there ain't no kings!)
In the USA (we're rising up!)
He ain't god (we ain't no fools!)
No matter what he say (sing the truth!)
He says bend (hell no, we won't!)
We say not today (not today!)
'Cause there ain't no kings (ain't no kings!)
In the USA (USA! USA!)
For the people, by the people, so we equal.
We dealt with part one, we won't tolerate the sequel.
No man in this land gets a throne or a crown.
Raise a hand, take a stand, now it's time to take them down.
With the people rising up, the tyrants can't handle.
The only king we rep for is Daryl McDaniel.
Tougher than leather when we come together.
Smash the kingdom, are you trying to build the powder and granules?
Ain't no kings, ain't no royalty, sacrifices and loyalty.
Your form is just the blood money, tough to wait for.
A lawyer for your whore (???) is seen at least.
Unanswered prayers and bets, place your bets.
We play position upon this back in effect.
Patriotism, how it was written on the wall.
But play the steps live and direct.
Lazarus picked nothing, it's laid to rest.
I confess, ain't no idolized.
No to idolize, we break bread like Maya.
That's how I rise, you know what I'm saying.
Can't claim republic, then violate our rights.
We gon' make it right with street wisdom and sacred rights.
Mixed with megabytes, prepped to take the fight.
To the street alongside our brethren and allies.
Y'all keep electing clowns,
the circus is the government.
You try to make an emperor with no clothes to cover.
With a senate full of cowards
and a house that is dumb as bricks.
The citizens are fed up, we done with it.
There ain't no kings (no, there ain't no kings!)
In the USA (we're rising up!)
He ain't god (we ain't no fools!)
No matter what he say (sing the truth!)
He says bend (hell no, we won't!)
We say not today (not today!)
'Cause there ain't no kings (ain't no kings!)

In centinaia di città degli Stati Uniti si sono tenute manifestazioni contro l'amministrazione del Presidente Donald Trump lo scorso 14 giugno, tutte riunite sotto il motto No Kings ("No ai re"). Il riferimento è alle politiche con tendenze autoritarie dell'attuale amministrazione statunitense, in particolare alle politiche anti-immigrazione. La data del 14 giugno non è casuale, dato che nelle stesse ore a Washington si è svolta una parata militare che ufficialmente ha celebrato i 250 anni di storia dell'Esercito statunitense, ma che casualmente è caduta anche nel giorno del compleanno di Donald Trump.
