lyrics

Call him a liar
call him a cheat
Robber baron in a penthouse suite
Call him a conman
call him a thief
Now call this criminal
"commander in chief"

Spoons made of silver
toilet of gold
Make his first millions when he's one day old

No constitution
crown himself king
When you're a star they let you do anything

He's gonna fight, fight, fight for what's white
He's gonna make America hate again

Refugee family, not quite white enough
He say LOCKEMUP
Walk across the desert with dreams of America
He say LOCKEMUP
Little brown baby cries for mama
He say LOCKEMUP
There’s a racist criminal in the oval office, what do YOU say?
We say LOCKHIMUP

You want your wall, you deserve it so
How bout four stone walls with some bars on the window
Ninety nine years breakin rocks all day
Don't even sweat the rent cause we gon get Mexico to pay
There'll be some very fine people sittin on both sides
and a big framed portrait of the Central Park Five
Three hots and a cot and plenty of time to get to know
every deep dark corner of your pitch black soul

He's gonna fight, fight, fight for what's white
He's gonna make America hate again
We gotta fight, fight, fight for what’s right
Can’t let him make America hate again
