The tale of two Americas: Lee Greenwood’s ‘God Bless the U.S.A.’ for Trump introduction and twerking and rapping for Harris rally in Atlanta

Above, Lee Greenwood sings "God Bless the U.S.A." at the RNC Convention and below, Megan Thee Stallion twerks and raps the introduction to Kamala Harris in Atlanta.

During the Republican National Convention earlier this month, county singer Lee Greenwood gave a warm musical welcome and introduction to Donald Trump by singing his iconic song, “God Bless the USA.” The convention-goers were in tears with appreciation for the country and the still-vibrant message.

The lyrics to the Greenwood song are:

If tomorrow all the things were gone
I worked for all my life
And I had to start again
With just my children and my wife

I thank my lucky stars
To be living here today
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom
And they can’t take that away

And I’m proud to be an American
Where at least I know I’m free
And I won’t forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I’d gladly stand up next to you
And defend Her still today
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.

From the lakes of Minnesota
To the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas
From sea to shining sea

From Detroit down to Houston
And New York to L.A.
Where’s pride in every American heart
And it’s time we stand and say

That I’m proud to be an American
Where at least I know I’m free
And I won’t forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I’d gladly stand up next to you
And defend Her still today
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.

Two weeks later, Megan Thee Stallion, a popular rapper who was arrested in 2015 for assault, opened up Kamala Harris’ first major rally in Altanta on Tuesday, and it was a twerking spectacular, but raised a question: Did people come to see Harris or to see a free concert by Megan Thee Stallion, who is being sued by a former employee who was fired after being forced to watch her have sex with another woman?

Below are the actual lyrics to “Savage,” the rap song that Megan Thee Stallion sang to honor Vice President Harris on Tuesday, (caution, vulgar language ahead). The performer cleaned up the language in a few places for her Atlanta performance:

I’m that bitch (yeah)
Been that bitch, still that bitch (ah)
Will forever be that bitch (forever be that bitch)
Yeah (ayy, ha)

I’m the hood Mona Lisa, break a nigga into pieces
Had to X some cheesy niggas out my circle like a pizza (yeah)
I’m way too exclusive, I don’t shop on Insta’ boutiques
All them lil’ ass clothes only fit fake booties
Bad bitch, still talking cash shit
Pussy like water, I’m unbothered and relaxing
I would never trip on a nigga if I had him
Bitch, that’s my trash, you the maid, so you bagged him, ah

I’m a savage (yeah)
Classy, bougie, ratchet (yeah)
Sassy, moody, nasty (hey, hey, yeah)
Acting stupid, what’s happening? Bitch (whoa, whoa)
What’s happening? Bitch (whoa, whoa)
I’m a savage, yeah
Classy, bougie, ratchet, yeah
Sassy, moody, nasty, huh
Acting stupid, what’s happening? Bitch
What’s happening? (Ayy, ah)

Eat me and record it, but your edge-up all I’m showing (ah)
I keep my niggas private, so his AP all I’m showing (baow)
Beefing with you bitches really getting kinda boring
If it ain’t about the money, then you know I’m gon’ ignore it
I’m the shit, ooh (ayy)
I need a mop to clean the floor, it’s too much drip, ooh (too much drip, ooh)
I keep a knot, I keep a watch, I keep a whip, ooh (I keep a whip, baow)
Let’s play a game, Simon says I’m still that bitch, ayy (still that bitch)
I’m still that bitch, yeah (ah)

I’m a savage (yeah)
Classy, bougie, ratchet (yeah)
Sassy, moody, nasty (yeah)
Acting stupid, what’s happening? Bitch (what’s up?)
What’s happening? Bitch (what’s up?)
I’m a savage, yeah
Classy, bougie, ratchet, yeah
Sassy, moody, nasty, huh
Acting stupid, what’s happening? Bitch (what’s up?)
What’s happening?

Bitch, I’m lit like a match, ooh
And any nigga I let hit is still attached, ooh
That body right, but you know this pussy fat, ooh
I drop a picture, now these bitches feel attacked, ayy
Don’t let that nigga gas you up and get you whacked, ooh
I make a call and get a pussy nigga smacked, uh
These bitches talkin’ ’bout pulling up, well, where you at? Ooh
I’m in a Lamb’, bitch, catch me if you can, ooh
I’m kickin’ bitches out they spot, Stalli’ Chan, yeah (ah, yeah)

Niggas say I taste like sugar, but ain’t shit sweet, ah
Mwah
Ayy, ayy, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, mwah

  1. Pretty pathetic, isn’t it? Unfortunately, many Americans lack the optimism and drive to “go out and fight” for the salvation of western society and our country. When the intellectuals of a society are so stupid as to believe the far-left rhetoric they espouse today, that society is doomed and deservedly so. I feel sorry for American youth, but I really don’t think there is anything I can do to help them beyond personal advice, some financial support, and my writing for whatever that might be worth.

    • Alexander, the measure of a man is in the courage of his convictions. Hold the line my friend. Let us not go down without a fight…. even though it may not include violence.

  2. At least during the Clinton era Democrat party, it was the president giving the Deepthroat.
    Today’s Democrat party our foreign adversaries are thinking “am I gonna get to deep throat a US President ? “

  3. There are two Americas:
    Rural vs urban
    Productive vs parasite
    Patriot vs traitor
    Fired chicken vs sushi
    Beef vs vegan
    Decent vs debauched
    Moral vs satanist
    Altruistic vs selfish
    Country vs rap
    PC vs Apple
    Sunday church vs gay pride
    WSJ vs NYT
    F150 vs Nissan Leaf
    Fossil fuel vs unicorn farts
    Respectful vs intolerant (watch video of guy wearing Trump shirt at Biden rally vs Biden shirt at Trump rally).
    Ask someone their position on the Palestinians and you can assume their abortion stance.
    Coincidentally, half of young liberal white women admit to psychiatric diagnosis. Or maybe not coincidence.

  4. Wait, didn’t a porn star speak at the RNC? Y’all ought to consider MAGA’s behavior before throwing stones. just sayin…

    • It’s like a bad episode of the Brady Bunch. “MAGA, MAGA, MAGA!!!”

      I didn’t watch the convention so I don’t know, but the $64 question: did the porn star sing about her privates?
      Related, did the porn star use racial slurs?

      If yes to both, then “MAGA, MAGA, MAGA!!!” aside, you have a point.

      Otherwise it’s middle school whataboutism.

      • the Greenwood rendition was at a national convention; the other was at a rally, not a national convention; no comparison, no whataboutism, just no comparison

    • Do you know who uses “whataboutisms” as arguments? Children.
      .
      Whataboutisms are stupid, and properly reflect the mental capabilities of the person using them.

  5. I’m not sure songs are the best way to judge political parties or the candidates for political office, especially when one side wants nothing more than to present an image that relies solely upon vapid arguments about which brain dead celebrity supports them as if this were some type of middle school popularity contest.

    • But IT IS some type of middle/high school popularity contest.

      “On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” – H. L. Mencken

  6. The line “Acting stupid, what’s happening? Bitch” is repeated over and over in the song Megan Thee Stallion sang for Kamala, Megan should be advised that it’s not an act.

  7. I am going to go against the trend in the comments here.
    .
    I do not have a problem with it. Election campaigns are nothing if not advertising and marketing. The campaign decides what market they want to sell to most, and tailors their message to appeal to that market.
    .
    However, the market they are selling to, and the message they are choosing to send by using these entertainers is questionable. A message of “America is great, and I am proud to be an American” is likely a better choice for a political campaign. But, if it gets eyeballs on screens, and voters into booths, I am good with it.
