i’m from the click-clack, cock back, pow pow
loud sounds can’t be silenced, violent
wild, wild, streets i’m from the pow pow
wild, wild streets of america
they’re violent
in this american society they are violent when their interests are at stake
with all of that violence that they display! that violence! (the american way)

they knew i’d have a high propensity for violence back in elementary
i’m from where the kids must get buzzed into the school
‘cause they don’t just what these kids might do

i’m from a cold, cold, violent environment
grown cold to survive where they’re desensitized
i’m from the woo woo sirens reply to shots fired
cops fire at the innocent

amongst the bad kids who have issues easy access to
high-powered rifles, psychos who might go
postal, loco, snap! and that’s your ass
if they happen to grab daddy pistol

got something zip zoom scorching
and it’ll da-ding-ding pinball bounce off your organs
i’m from a place that’s dangerous
you been here long enough to know the language

i’m from the click-clack, cock back, pow pow
loud sounds can’t be silenced, violent
wild, wild, streets i’m from the pow pow
wild, wild streets of america

i’m from the crash! tinkle! glass dinner plate smashed
pissed, her man trashes her place where they fly off the handle, stand their ground and then shoot, screaming self-defense but who knows the truth

i’m from where they spray those negroes with hoses
for seeking for freedom like Moses
to preserve their way of life might murder those opposed - that’s just local tradition

they might use violence to fight fear; if they don’t like your laws, if u don’t like theirs.
round here they use violence to solve problems
they tell u to be non-violent; they’re violent

they’re violent in korea, they’re violent in germany, they’re violent in the south pacific. they’re violent in cuba, they’re violent wherever they go.
they are violent when their interests are at stake

i’m from the pew pew video game pretend murder
stick ‘em in a tank they’ll murder insurgentsbunker buster your building military motherfuckers will kill civilians

i’m from the shot heard round the world for independence, bombs dropped to defend it
you fuck around you’ll be a hiroshima
boom! onomotapeia

i’m from the click-clack, cock back, pow pow
loud sounds can’t be silenced, violent
wild, wild, streets i’m from the pow pow
wild, wild streets of america

if a man speaks the language of brute force you can’t come to him with peace - why good night he’ll break you in two. learn the language that they understand. you’ve been in this country long enough to know the language. that’s what you need to do because most of us are already doing it. i am no longer held in check

i’m from the pow! shoot that injun in the back of the head and keep a large enough arsenal to fight off the feds with that powerful 2nd amendment. i’m from the car-jack pow! that rich-ass cracker is dead

i’m hanging on by a very thin thread
they used to say i’m soft but they were wrong
i’ll make a walmart purchase that’ll make them all
sorry they made me

cause i don’t give a fuck & don’t pray to God
satan-spawn, might send u to satan on
these god-forsaken streets like nortenos, surenos
it’s the american way until the day i’m gone

& if u kill me i’m a crazy angel spraying shots from strategic angles in the sky trying to take u off this physical plane and i’ll be waiting after life to bring u physical pain - i’m such a patriot!

i’m from the click-clack, cock back, pow pow
loud sounds can’t be silenced, violent
wild, wild, streets i’m from the pow pow
wild, wild streets of america
they’re violent
