America The Great

America the great
Land of the free
If I'm not fully dressed
Are you allowed to rape me?
America the great
Home of the brave
Where black on black crime sends another man to his grave

We contradict our words
"Rights To Free Speech"
Although religious subjects is what my teachers can't teach
"In God We Trust" on every dollar bill
Meanwhile there are church shootings and America slowly goes downhill

"Make America Great Again"
The lies he told
Now we have a president that acts like a 5 year old
The rich get richer
The poor get poorer
Yet some poor want to be innovative explorers

The land we stole the Natives from
Forced them to leave so we could grow as one
Enslaved the blacks because they're just property
Now somehow this land is overexposed to poverty

America the Great
Land of the free
Where immigrants are given a greater opportunity
America the Great
Home of the Brave
Now immigrants rights are taken away
