about
Originally recorded in March of 2020, K’sa’s debut single “America,” targets the inequalities within the American culture, political system, and social dynamics. In her powerful message with an equally powerful delivery, K’sa calls attention to BOTH the issues and potential solutions. The musical style is reminiscent of spoken word, rap, and a theater performance.
lyrics
America land of the free yet home of the slaves, right?
America land of the greed we buy our way, right?
Wait no my bad, land of the free home of the brave right?
I guess that’s what they say, sounds about white
America our history burdened with gravesites
America richest country, but we won’t pay you right
America, we lost our way, it’s time to save lives
Turn this thing around, treat our people right
The price of liberty
Eternal vigilance
You got a rich daddy
That’s social privilege
But there’s other kinds of privilege too
So don’t be fooled
Light skin, beauty, or status
You definitely got it too
They claim conspiracy
Illuminati
I call it misplaced fear
They feeling froggy
Can’t understand why
Their needs on standby
Mad at the man, while
They work away their whole damn lives
Shit
I’d be mad as fuck too
Matter of fact I am
plus sad and confused
Fuck all that battered and bruised
The finger of blame
Who should we point it to?
Unfortunately, you see the answer is me and you.
What do we value?
No I’m really asking as a country what the fuck do we value?
Is it fortune and fame
Is it status and games
Is it bitch out of my way
So we can flex on IG without a dollar to our names?
Something don’t smell right
Prisons are packed tight
Someone done capitalized
They be profiting from prisoners they tuckin at night
Hmmm no
That shit don’t sit with me right
It’s a numbers game
Modern day slaves
But hey,
If we accept it, who are we to complain?
Why would they change?
Why would we change?
America land of the free yet home of the slaves, right?
America land of the greed we buy our way, right?
Wait no my bad, land of the free home of the brave right?
I guess that’s what they say, sounds about white
America our history burdened with grave sites
America richest country, but we won’t pay you right
America, we lost our way, it’s time to save lives
Turn this thing around, treat our people right
Equal wealth distribution
Son you must be confused if
You think there’s such a thing
Say you Don’t know what I mean
You better Listen to me and I bet you won’t disagree
Aye, it goes like this,
Sitting at the top
Your boss’s boss’s boss
Taking vacations won’t spare no cost no cost no cost
But when it comes to you,
Minimum wage, old shoes
Stay in your lane, don’t complain, oh boy you better not
After all you really do need your job
But we can make a change. It’s not too late.
It really is up to us, don’t wait till it’s late
It won’t be easy
It’ll take time and thought
Some people are sleazy
They just out to rob
It’s up to us to check em
Refuse disrespectin’
Paint a picture, allow me
How things could really be
America land of the free home of the brave that’s right
America, we condemn greed and treat our people right
As a matter of fact, we make sure everyone has equal rights
Sexual preference, Gender — black, brown or white
America our history can’t change but future’s bright
America richest country, we pay all people right
America, we found our way, we aim to save lives
We Turned this thing around, we treat our people right
Complacency is corruption’s best friend
Democracy demands you pay attention
If those in charge are on some shady shit
Cause a scene, and demand punishment
Voting is your job
It’s the cost it’s the cost
Of freedom and if you don’t, it’s your loss it’s your loss
More than every four years
Go and tell all your peers
And if you don’t, don’t complain, oh boy you better not
It’s within reach
Racism bleeds deep
But we gotta believe
The light we’ll see
We have the potential to be great
But it all starts with us, I’m talkin, you and me
America land of the free home of the brave that’s right
America, we condemn greed and treat our people right
As a matter of fact, we make sure everyone has equal rights
Sexual preference, Gender — black, brown or white
America our history can’t change but future’s bright
America richest country, we pay all people right
America, we found our way, we aim to save lives
We turned this thing around, we treat our people right
K'sa writes with a creative style that infuses West Coast Hip Hop (Bounce & Hyphy) with pop and musical-style vocals.
Founded on the idea that good, catchy music doesn’t have to be centered around drugs, violence, and hyper-sexuality, K’sa’s debut album “Identity Crisis” hones in on just that: Great music with a positive message....more
