What's Up With You America?

America, America, America,

What's up with you homie?

Lately your hospitality haven't been very homey,

Come on be a Sagittarius and tell me the bluntly truth,

I mean you already cold like you was born in December;

What's up with our nation's reality?

This is not what I remember,

Or maybe I was too naive to believe that we as innocent citizens,

Shouldn't be dismembered by police whose responsibility was to protect and serve,

Word?

That's what we deserve?

I thought living in America had a standard of perks that are set,

So why do I feel like in our near future together that I'm  just going to be taking nothing but Percocet,

Trying to get my mind high in the sky so that I can forget get about my problems with you,

Tell me why you so clingy my dude?

Is it really necessary for you to have drones and hack my iPhone just so you can spy,

And what's up with this new fool who has screws loose in his temple all in your ear,

Telling you to get rid of the people YOU invited over for a better life,

I mean look at what's written on the Liberty's statue,

Since when you started living by that bad apple rule?

Speaking of rules why haven't we changed how the electoral votes and popularity votes can meet together so we as citizens can feel like the government didn't cheat,

I mean first Bush now Trump,

Be real were you smoking with Cypress Hill,

Lighting up that green bush thinking your next president was going to trump Obama,

I mean he killed Osama when bush couldn't catch a W after that incident of World of Mass Destruction,

What a massive dysfunction on the government,

Come on America,

What's up with this race on races trying to win their equality like the majority,

Shouldn't we minorities already have the same rights as whites,

As in the Bill of Rights it writes,

So why we not treated as like,

Is it because our skin not light,

America tell me what's your excuse,

Is it that our oppression gets an amused,

I mean look at the reflection of our past,

And see all of the things we had to overcome to get where we at,

Still to this day we are being abused,

From being whipped and chained for use,

And hung by noose,

To either being choked or shot down on the news,

With us, what is your issue,

And why has it spread to other people's religion and nationality?

Truthfully you are a big nosey bully,

Going to these other countries and bombing them for reasons that have nothing to do with us,

Syria is over there poisoning and bombing itself,

And we dropped a bomb on them trying to turn them into dust,

For what the Syrian president did to its own people,

I get we had to send them a message about being so lethal,

But what did we do to actually help,

Do you even know?

I mean at some point you have to listen,

Hip Hop artists T.I., J Cole, Kendrick, Joey, etc.,

Have all recently criticized your current and future agendas,

This has been an ongoing thing since the beginning of you,

America you still haven't gave me an answer,

I haven't even mentioned your problems with prisons, gang violence, drug issues, homeless, money, sensitivity, and many other situations that can be fixed.
