I was sitting at my desk at work and I began to think.
I looked out at the children playing and thought of how carefree they must be.
How they can't even begin to fathom the turmoil that's going on in the nation that they pledge
Allegiance to day in and day out, out of oblivious routine.
How this land of the free initiated with chains and slave ships
How the leaders of this time will rather see them die to stay rich
How you kill 3000 people and blame it on terrorist
Now you want us to commemorate and say to us never forget
They run around in circles and play childish games
And I'm not talking about the kids I'm talking about politics
They want your vote and promise you a brighter future
But the people in Michigan still suffering from water pollution
Sometimes my heart get heavy, sometime I get sad
I don't want to get the call that my brothers a hashtag
Sometimes this democracy don't really seem so democratic
They hook my people to these drugs and then they call them attics
People found dead in jail and their explanations don't explain
If you talk too much then you get labeled mentally insane
I'm tired of hearing these conclusions that never really conclude
More black on brown violence every time you see the news.
This land of the free with the highest prison populations
Let's lock them behind bars let's see what they have to say then
Sworn to protect and serve is there invented call of duty
But when you see the police all you think is "Please don't shoot me"
I'm scared to turn on the T.V. another man down
My people getting shot with they hands up and this ain't a battle ground?
We at war with each other, man we fighting the wrong team
I just want to go back to the good times, or so it seemed...
God Bless America
