America tells me...
America tells me
“Go back to where you’re from!”
Don’t they know
They stand on the ground where my culture was erased
America tells her
“You were asking for it”
Don’t they know
She was begging for him to stop
America tells him
“Freedom of religion”
Don’t they know
His mosque is on fire
America tells them
“Innocent until proven guilty”
Don’t they know
Their hands are shaking as they raise them above their head
America tells us
“I don’t see color”
Don’t they know
They see the world in black and white
America tells us all
“Land of the free”
Don’t they know
We aren’t
