Footage Surfaces of Rapper Lil Wayne Stomping All Over American Flag While Filming Music Video

Footage has leaked of rapper Lil Wayne stomping all over a large American flag while filming a music video in New Orleans over the weekend.

The flag, in what appears to be a cellphone video of the shoot for the song "God Bless Amerika," is at first hung like a banner but then drops to reveal a group of people behind it. Wayne continues to bounce around while singing, stepping on the flag in the process.

According to A-Z Lyrics, these are the words to the song (Content warning: strong language, profanity redacted):

[Verse 1]

Uh, my mind's filled with mine fields

The ashes fall, the wine spills

The world stops, drops and rolls

It's Judgment Day or a fire drill

Yea, I pour out my heart, have a drink

They say the drunk never lie, they ain't never lyin' yea

My country 'tis of thee,

Sweet land of kill 'em all and let 'em die

[Hook]

God bless Amerika

This so godless Amerika

I heard tomorrow ain't promised today

The end of time is like a hour away

[Verse 2]

D*mn, military minded, lost and can't find it

The stars on the flag are never shining

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'ma hide by abroad

Shootin' stars in my pocket, b**ch 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 yea

My little breed, yea

[Verse 3]

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, love

I go so hard, I tried to pay homage but I was overcharged

Ain't that a b**ch? I'm just a nut tryna bust a nut in the nut shell

Used to say f**k the police, now I say f**k jail

Same sh*t, different air freshner

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, pop! Peace of mind

I be in the cloud, cloud number 9

And I just f**ked the clock and let it come to time

It's a cold world, I put on a mink

There's a chain of commands, I'm the missing link

Yeah

[Hook]

God bless Amerika

This so godless Amerika

I heard tomorrow ain't promised today

And I'm smoking on them flowers, catch the bouquet

[Outro]

Here we live by the sword and die by the sword

The police are looking for me, I'ma hide by abroad

Shootin' stars in my pocket, b**ch 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

I saw a butterfly in hell today

Will I die or go to jail today?
