America has never been great. Built on the backs of stolen people on stolen land. We’re a melting *** they say, a conglomeration of cultures and ethnicities, But words mean nothing, when time and time again our neighborhoods are filled with injustice, Our streets only know carnage. Our protectors unleash violence upon civilians and our leaders continue to justify acts of brutality. America is on fire And the smoke clears and dawn breaks, We will continue to fight for a new beginning.
