Song: Looking For America (feat. Lecrae)

Key: 

[Intro] (Lecrae)
   Land of the free, home of the brave
  But Lord knows that we need plenty change
     'Cause plenty chains in the past leaving deep scars
  But when the sun come down, we gonna be stars

   The doors are locked where they once stood open
     A wound of fear where we once still hoping 
   The shattered glass where the bullets broke in
I'm looking for the place that I was born
I'm looking for a way to fix what's torn
I'm looking for America   (Yeah, yeah you know) 
I'm looking for America (Beaten red white and blue for the green we pursue)

(I'm still lookin' for you)

   America who are you?
Underneath the red blue and white? (Yeah)
     America who are you?
I wonder who you are tonight (Tell me who you are)
   America who are you?
Is God still on your side?
I want to see a nation rise above the fear and fight
That haunts these streets tonight

(I'm looking for America) 
I'm looking for a place to breathe in, a place I could call my home
(I'm looking for America)
I'm looking for the land of freedom, a place I can call my own
(I'm looking for America)
Headlines that I can't believe in, but I'm still holding on to hope
I'm looking for a miracle (I'm looking for America)
I'm looking for a miracle (I'm looking for America)
I'm looking for America

   America who are you?
 I asking for too much (Yeah)
     America who are you?
Has your dream become out of touch (I wonder)
   America who are you?
Do you get what you deserve
Between the violence and entitlements
      N..
Which nation do you serve?

(I'm looking for America) 
I'm looking for a place to breathe in, a place I could call my home
(I'm looking for America)
I'm looking for the land of freedom, a place I can call my own (Call my own)
(I'm looking for America)
Headlines that I can't believe in, but I'm still holding on to hope
I'm looking for a miracle 
I'm looking for a miracle

I'm singing "Farewell my utopia,  farewell my euphoria"
 "Fare thee well my suburban day-dream, farewell my utopia"

[Lecrae's verse]
America, you so pretty but you not perfect
Confession of guilt is worth it, these people hurting deserve it
Blood on your hands I saw when there's blood on this nations floor
But it's blood on the upper post of your door, if you need to know (Oh!)
   I'm looking for your honesty in skeletons 
Do away with your ignorance and arrogance
America, land of immigrants

Check the green card and pedigree
Bless the Choctaw and the Cherokee that we'll never see

(I'm looking for America) 
I'm looking for a place to breathe in, a place I could call my home (A place I could call my home)
(I'm looking for America)
I'm looking for the land of freedom, a place I can call my own (Can I call it my own?)
(I'm looking for America)
Headlines that I can't believe in, but I'm still holding on to hope (Come on!)
I'm looking for a miracle (I'm still lookin' ya)
I'm looking for a miracle (I'm still lookin' ya)
I'm looking for America (Yeah, yeah) 

[Outro] (Lecrae + Switchfoot)
     The land of the free, home of the brave 
  But Lord knows that we need plenty change
(I'm looking for America)

Plenty chains in the past left deep scars
  But when the sun come down, we gonna be stars
     And may the stripes heal when it's through
Beaten red white blue for the green that we pursue
(I'm looking for America)
