O’ America
What a land I love
No land shall come between us
No other nation is above
O’ America
The red, the blue, the white
The pain, the struggle, the will
The fight
America
How far we’ve came
From Martin, to Malcolm, to Obama
With change
We prayed , we fought, we cried, we hoped
I swear I can smell granny’s family on boats
Wait America
This land isn’t yours
You stripped it from natives
Who’re now living poor
Euros arrived and they made it a profit day
You tricked them, you killed them
And now it’s a holiday
America!
Land of the free
The land where it’s dangerous to walk down the street
The murder, the violence, the rape, the crisis
The shooting, the looting, the bombing
It’s ISIS!
America!
Want all this money for college
To drown me in debt, just to dictate my knowledge
I’m starting to think that all this’s a scam
I’ just hope that I never encounter my Uncle Sam
America…
For years you practiced separation
You promised 40 acres, so we want our reparations
You gave us guns and drugs, called us thugs
And you wonder why we kill each other
No power to heal each other
No love to build each other
America
The land I love
The land shall come between us
No nation is above.

I  CERTIFY THAT THE ABOVE WORK IS COMPLETELY ORIGINAL
