Dear America
Dear America, please don't shoot
My whole life I pledge allegiance to the U.S.
Put my hand over to my heart and hope to die
The Same flag that made me slave and I've still in chains
Handcuffs they just called it a different name
My teacher asked me what I wanted to be
I told her I just want to be alive
They're killing us left and right in my mind I got to keep a 9
But I would be playing into lie
It's a trap the Civil Right leaders cry
As they turn in their graves
we play this game acting deaf and blind
We come from kings and queens but act like the jester
We're savages they say we ain't nothing better
Just scum of the earth we ain't nothing better
Monkeys roaming around we ain't nothing better
Thugs Fox Network new N word
Fuck this country I should burn this fucking flag down
Then ask what white America what u gonna do now
I'm on my fucking knees screaming don't shoot
But I got a continent lock and willing to shoot
I got my hands up screaming please don't shoot
I was raised by a system that killed Mick Brown and Trayvon Martin
If I got my hood on I'm on I'm up to no good
If I got my hands in my pocket then I must have a weapon
I should burn this fucking flag down ya
They're killing teens they're killing dreams
It's murder plain and a simple to see
It doesn't take 100 days to decided it's a murder
It takes 100 days to tell the people it wasn't
Red the blood of angry men
Black of dark ages past
Let the story begin
