Bright lights red, blue, and white pull up right behind, and is I notice America quickly crosses my mind.
Then I realize that im being pushed aside by a country demanding of so much pride.
Told growing up that our ancestors fought for our rights.
Now I can't be awake walking outside at night without being suspicious of committing a crime.
So as the officer approaches, I lose sight of how there supposed to be a sign of help and protection in our lives
Getting pulled over cuz I don't dress the way America likes.
Asked for ID, and given a ticket for failure to purchase a peice of plastic that i don't believe we need.
Why does the government who's establishment was created by intellectual individualsΒ Β to be a voice need to know me.
your boundaries have been over stepped and our voices kept silent.
The masses have agreed to keep quiet due to the fear of greed politicians have shown in every speech.
Falling apart, our beautiful country, its sad to see.
The people need to stand together for there right to once again live in a beautiful country
