United Stands of America

Never from streets So I don’t know what it’s like To fight for every bite To kill for my steals To sell dope for hope Naw I’m not tryin to be mockery I’m just starting to realize that democracy Is just plain Hypocrisy See I’ve never been a fan of the man White, Black, any of them I’m so caught up being an individual That I’ve become delusional How can one day we’re all about supportin’ each other And then the next We’re all vexed in each other’s faces Throwing out words about different races and old time cases Can’t we just erase this? Times are changing But what about our foundation Under the words of our Nation And all things by His creation Have we forgotten about that? I feel like I can’t connect to my neighbor So honoring them doesn’t fit my favor To my left to the right By day by night I feel like I don’t know shit About this: The Election Personifying my Perfection Finding a Connection To myself to us Can Obama STOP the drama? Can they end all this trauma? Of young girls being raped out of their virginity All these little boys out here actin’ all hard Because they forgot about unity Wishes Broken dishes Fame Not getting’ paid 600 Billion Dollars? All to support the white collar Shit…they must be mad ballers Sittin all high livin fly Not even worrying about how they gon get by Half of ‘em don’t even have to try I want to reach out and hold my brother Let me be his cover Thru the brush fires, quakes, shakes, and floods Not one blood Our bloods Coming together in a place of Brotherhood Shaking every other’s hand Construct a band Of Solidity Of Strength Of Loyalty And With this We cannot foil And the black oil Bleeding into our conscious streams Will find a way to cease If we increase Our bond I just want to be United And be in different States I just want to be One Nation, under God, Indivisible Having the Liberty To give and have Justice For all. God Bless.…I guess…
