My Name Is Sam
A defiant anthem of unity and truth—Uncle Sam’s groove-driven rallying cry.
While most people associate Uncle Sam with the recruitment posters for the U.S. Army, he is also potent symbol of American patriotism and national pride. His image is often invoked during times of war or national crisis to foster a sense of unity and collective purpose among the American people, and we are certainly in a moment of national crisis. He represents the nation as a whole, so in this song I use him in association of the defense of most cherish values and ideals.
Lyrics
Yo—Uncle S.A.M. in the building!
I’m the protector, provider, the people’s champion—let’s go!
Top hat tipped, velvet drippin’ in stars and stripes,
Chain heavy, voice steady, lightin’ up the darkest night.
Men wanna front on my name, women catch my vibe, electrified.
I’m the funkmaster, truth blaster, I’ll never let the downtrodden slide.
They out here schemin’, playin’ dirty games,
But I’m cuttin’ through the noise—callin’ out their names.
My name is S.A.M., I’m the man with the plan,
(His name is Sam)
I stand with you—protector, provider, across this land.
(His name is Sam)
You can hate all you want, you can sow your discord,
(His name is Sam)
But Uncle Sam’s on guard—bring the truth, I won’t be ignored.
ICE—you’re bullies and cowards, robbin’ kids of their dreams,
Lockin’ hope behind steel doors while you sip your power schemes.
Donald J.—you corrupt pervert, sold your soul for the seat,
Spewin’ lies, fannin’ flames—your time’s run out, take a seat.
G.O.P. spineless weasels—no backbone, no code,
Tradein’ our birthright for pennies—y’all lost the motherlode.
MAGA hordes gather, drunk on hate, blind in your rage,
I’m the people’s thunder—lightning strike you off the stage.
When I say “Protector,” you shout “Provider!”
Protector, (Provider!)
Protector, (Provider!)
When I say “Stand up,” you cry “Uniter!”
Stand up, (Uniter!)
Stand up, (Uniter!)
No more cowards, no more liars,
We rise together—spread the fire!
My name is S.A.M., I’m the man with the plan,
(His name is Sam)
I stand with you—protector, provider, across this land.
(His name is Sam)
You can hate all you want, you can sow your discord,
(His name is Sam)
But Uncle Sam’s on guard—bring the truth, I won’t be ignored.
Remember the name—S.A.M.
Not just a face on a poster, but the voice of the voiceless,
The shield for the beaten, the spark for the silenced.
They may try to bury truth, but we’ll keep diggin’ it up—
‘Cause with Uncle Sam, the people always rise.
So stand tall, stay true, and never back down.
Peace, love, and liberty—always.”
Uncle Sam…
