This video pretty much says it all:
Lil Wayne is one of the biggest hip hop stars in the world.
Name of the video: God Bless America. This is what he is saying while he is stomping on the flag — while 100 people watch:
[Verse 1 – Lil Wayne]
Uh, my mind’s filled with minefields
The ashes fall, the wine spills
The world stops, drops and rolls
It’s Judgment Day or a fire drill
Yeah, I pour out my heart, have a drink
They say the drunk never lie, they ain’t never lyin’
Yeah, my country tis of thee
Sweet land of kill ’em all and let ’em die[Chorus – Lil Wayne]
God bless America, uh
This so Godless America
Heard tomorrow ain’t promised today
The end of time is like a hour away[Verse 2 – Lil Wayne]
Damn, military minded, lost it can’t find it
The stars on the flag are never shinin’
Uh, I saw a butterfly in hell today
Will I die or go to jail today?
Cause I live by the sword and die by the sword
Heard police was looking for me, I’mma hide by abroad
Shootin’ stars in my pocket, bitch sit on my rocket
I’m wired off a socket, but still shockin’
Everybody wanna tell me what I need
You can play a role in my life, but not the lead
If there’s food for thought then I’m guilty of greed
Mama said take what you want, I took heed, yeah
My little breed, yeah[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/god-bless-america-lyrics-lil-wayne.html ]
[Verse 3 – Lil Wayne]
Back to life, back to reality
Been eating my girl and she’s so sweet, got cavities
Granted we do it for vanity not humanity
But what’s appealing to me is under banana trees, Lord
I go so hard, I tried to pay homage but I was overcharged
Ain’t that a bitch? I’m just a nut tryna bust a nut in the nut shell
Used to say fuck the police, now I say fuck jail
Uh, same shit, different air freshener
I don’t play boy, I ain’t Hugh Hefner
Tryna be a step ahead, but a few feet behind
Two fingers to my head, pow, peace of mind
I be in a cloud, cloud number 9
And I just fucked a clock and let it cum in time
It’s a cold world, I put on a mink
There’s a chain of commands, I’m the missing link[Chorus – Lil Wayne]
Yeah, God bless America
This so Godless America
I heard tomorrow ain’t promised today
And I’m smoking on them flowers, catch the bouquet[Verse 4 – Lil Wayne]
And we live by the sword and die by the sword
Heard police was looking for me, I’mma hide by abroad
Shootin’ stars in my pocket, bitch sit on my rocket
I’m wired off a socket, but still shockin’
Everybody wanna tell me what I need
You can play a role in my life, but not the lead
Yeah, I saw a butterfly in hell today

“Will I die or go to jail today…”
No, this clearly doesn’t glamorize the thug lifestyle, nor does it tell young thugs that “it’s OK to be a thug; it’s totally normal to wake up and ask yourself if you will die or go to jail. Unbelievable.
While this brand of pornography may be protected by free speech, it should be kept away from children and not played on the air. Instead, they censor key aspects of reported crimes so that the US may go on pretending that we don’t have an epidemic of black crime.
Shameful.
