What does it Mean To be an American?
Many people have different answers of what they think it means to be an American; for example, Lecrae (2015), in his song, he uses three different characters that help in reminding people that everyone has different stories to tell about America. The first person is from one community, the second person comes from a different community, and the last person is not from America. Those three people view America from a completely different perspective.
Welcome to America, the land of free, home for the brave. Lacrae (2015) believed America is a country where anyone is free to do anything even if it is wrong and illegal, like selling pornography and illicit drugs. For example, he says that there is a sex slave trade in America, which happens right in the people's eyes. He also defines America as a place where people usually do anything for money, like a mother can sell her children to get money to pay her bills. America is a country that protects people's lives illegal acts are usually prosecuted in the courts of law.
