History holds facts surrounded by fiction.
This we can't deny.
Some of our best legacies have a hint of bigotry.
And this within many cultures.

We can get self-righteous and remove their names from sculptures.
And hosts of buildings and bridges.
But at the end of the day.
What really changed?

Many of us have kinfolks that **** right racist.
And uses the first trouble to spread it more in certain situations.
So maybe it's me.

Who's asking for more?
For now, I leave this matter in the hands of others.

Hate not yourself.
In fact, love you more.
For no other can love you more than yourself.
So be proud.

Be proud to be black.
Be proud to be white.
Be proud of your heritage.
It's something we honestly inherited.

Be proud of your child.
In fact, encourage them to stand proud of themselves.
Forgo all this negative.
Advise them to stay totally positive.
Cause this is where we find our benefits.

Be proud of what you represent?
Sure many might stand highly against it.
Except many of us are guided by principles.

Be proud of your parents.
It's one learning job.
And believe me, no written books can teach it.
Those that buy them are just complete idiots.

But be proud of them too.
Cause we all are surrounded by fools.

Must we question our senses?
When people in general and various politicians speak.
Just to appear to others perspectives and views.

If we take away the second amendments?
Would folks fall apart?
If given a choice between life and a gun many would choose the wrong one.

If we take away the scriptures that supposed to guide us?
We still would take the wrong path because many still don't adhere to the holy bible.

If we take away our senses that is within all of us?
We still have the common sense to be guided correctly.

If we take away the sun?
There still be a light among us.

If we take away racism?
Just imagine how great the world would be?

But we surrounded by fools that live by the gun.
But if we take away some assault weapons?
We might see a slightly lower number.
Still, it won't solve our problem?

Youth today, are bright?
Are smart?
Deserving of this recognition.
Except, many have no mind imagination.

But in the day, you created your joy.
Your fun.
Wasn't upset when grounded for being rude.

Created go-carts from various bicycles parts.

Play cowboys and Indians with just the sound of your mouth.
Taking a tree limb and shoestring or thread and make a bowing arrow.

Yes, this was the days of mind imagination.

We created joy.
Didn't need Avatar or the newest Gameboy.

And another thing lost of this new generation?
Is respect?
We knew when yo act out and of course to represent.

Funny, how we see an expert on the fake news?
When the truth exposes their lies.

Conservatives remind us of the propaganda of a past war.
Where the mess in Europe had many afraid to admit the truth about the perish of people during the Holocaust?

It didn't happen according to these fools.
When evidence stands out it did.
But many like to keep the honest truth hidden.

Which we now see in this administration whenever someone mentions Russia.

****!-and he's his own worst liar.

But boy, don't you recognized his supporters.
Who stands grandly?
Who stands proudly?
Then we saw the same mess with President Nixon.

It's the news fault when many are exposed.
Like this fake news story of various degree.
When the ones they are addressing created their own mess.

The sixties were the days of the liberal ways.
Be you, be free to seek social change.

The fifties were the way of the conservative rules.
Follow guidelines placed upon you.
Fight no cause, fight nothing at all.

The seventies were the days of liberal views.
Accept changes that go against restriction.
Where ladies wasn't dictated to always wear dresses.
Many, now by choice could wear britches or pants in the workforce.

The Forties were the time when working women shined.
Many built the armors, the planes during the war times.
Just to be placed back into an assigned role when many soldiers returned.

In life, many earned this respect.

Ladies, never get their total dues.
But in truth, we owe them many gratitudes.

We selected what we feel is our right?
And support rules that holds no serious clues.
We profess quickly we don't want big government in our lives.

Then support ******* up regulations concerning the American flag.
We have constitution granted in various form to all of us.
To speak or not too speak if it leads to a conviction.

But when it comes to sport dictation is level down upon the players to stand for the anthem.

Whatever happen to freedom to be?
Soldiers fought for the rights to stand proud.
Even speak out when the big government let them down.

Soon we be guided by a storm trooper rules.
Dictated when to leave and of course when to move.
And we owe all this foolishness to a clownish fool.

Who speak?
And make you question did he buy his way through school.
