[Intro: Johnny Venus]
Talk to me now, Speak loud and clear
American Horror Story, (Said, say)
Talk to me now, speak loud and clear
Talk to me now, speak loud and clear (Said, say)

[Chorus: Johnny Venus]
Talk to me now, speak loud and clear
Where would I be if I was not here?
American Horror Story
Horror–, Horror Story
Talk to me now, speak loud and clear
Where would I fly if I was not here?
American Horror Story
Horror Story
Set, set, set me free
Set me free (Horror Story)
Set, set me free (Yeah)
Set me

[Verse 1: Johnny Venus]
Once upon a time across the far and widе
Blue abyss, the first peoplе known to Earth thrived
Shaped the world with our feet, mastered the skies
The envy of other nations comes as no surprise
Sun-kissed skin, gold swingin' from my necks
Milk form the Gods fallin' from our womens breasts
Then one day, a ship docked with evil intentions
That would change the course of the world and shape our lives
Brutality struck and casaulities climbed
The white man had landed the Bible right behind
Put that together, you get kidnapped and dragged through the door of no return into a ships bottom, chained in line
Trafficked cross the ocean where the real ones died
Revolted and jumped over board, see you next time
Of foreign lands, stolen worlds, smells of death rise
But with laughter, blood, and fire, somehow, we survived
Four hundred years of mutilation, rape, degradation
And family separations and a foreign God
But see, we took that like we took scraps and gave you soul food
Put our foot in that, that's what our souls do
Gave you rock and roll while we cleaned toilets
First, we built this nation, now watch you destroy it
The miseducation of ten generations
But today I'm teachin' American horror stories
[Chorus: Johnny Venus]
Talk to me now, speak loud and clear
Where would I be if I was not here?
American Horror Story
Horror–, Horror Story
Talk to me now, speak loud and clear
Where would I fly if I was not here?
American Horror Story
Horror Story
Set, set, set me free
Set me free (Horror Story)
Set, set me free (Yeah)
Set me

[Chorus: Johnny Venus]
Talk to me now, speak loud and clear
Where would I be if I was not here?
American Horror Story (Horror Story)
Horror, Horror Story (Say)
Talk to me now, speak loud and clear (Loud and clear)
Where would I fly if I was not here?
American Horror Story
Horror Story
Set, set, set me free
Set me free (Horror Story)
Set, set me free (Yeah)
Set me
[Verse 2: Doctur Dot]
There goes the neighborhood (Wow, that's crazy, people really used to say that, that's funny 'cause now)
Now they coming back to take the hood (Hmm, funny how things change)
Meanwhile I'm just tryna get my finances up
So I can buy my whole damn block
Been bumping Nipsey a whole damn lot
Tryna make shit shake, Theaster Gates
If they ask (Hey) don't fake like you know what it's 'bout
Seat at the tables sound so amazing
I'd rather bring you to my cookout
Citronella tiki torches (Ah), talkin' n***as joining forces (Ah)
Linking up the resources (Ah), brothers shinin', sister gorgeous (Woo)
Show the kids how we did it, better books, better courses (Ah) teachers gotta make a living, test scores more important (Ah)
How the system get rewarded
All of my n***as with heavy pockets
Don't be acting snobby 'cause you already got it
Some of y'all n***as so woke, it's ironic
You really be ignorant 'cause of your knowledge
Look down on your brother 'cause you went to college
Or you got the perfect collection of rocks and stones
And gems that soak up the mood
Say you're open minded, know it ain't true
And I don't like preaching, it ain't what I do
I usually observe, I just start making moves
Fuck what you heard, the option we choose
I hold what we got and did something new
America worst nightmare come true
Pray over this verse hope you break through
Pour up the liquor and mix the juice
And crank this up at your barbecue
[Chorus: Johnny Venus]
Talk to me now, speak loud and clear
Where would I be if I was not here?
American Horror Story
Horror, Horror Story
Talk to me now, speak loud and clear
Where would I fly if I was not here?
American Horror Story
Horror Story
Set, set, set me free
Set me free (Horror Story)
Set, set me free
Set me
