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?

World As It Is
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
