I open my eyes up
And I see the world as it is
I ask myself is this how it's going to be
I ask myself are we really free

What choices do I have
Hillary or Trump
Like seriously man
Are you kidding me

One people say is a liar and cheat
The other one people say is a racist with a hair piece
Are these really the choices I have
Must I just accept the world as it is

Either way the USA is gonna take a lost
I know we must pick a president but at what costs
Either way its gonna be a downfall
The american citizens are gonna take it the hardest of all

This is the world as it is
But the presidential polls
Isn't the only thing that is taking its toll

Black lives matters yes they do
But to me all lives matter that is a true fact too
Cops killing innocent people without conviction is wrong
But we can not retaliate on the police an take their lives
For two wrongs
Do not make a right

What happened to the peace that MLK wanted
He wanted us all to get along
Is that wrong?
Must I just accept the world as it is?
This is basically just me expressing my concern for my country
