America was already GREAT
What does one say when their words are just tossed away,
Because in society today we have LOVE TRUMPS HATE
It’s no wonder some people just fall to their knees and break
But I won't keep quiet, no I won't stand still
I’m overwhelmed with these feelings;
Im angry, I’m sad, heartbroken, and mad
Because I'm expendable; I do not matter
To all the people in America whose hearts have shattered...
Because the 1% has made their statement that with the browning of America, “It has now been tainted.”
We don't choose our DNA, we don't depict our birth
Yet you have the audacity to stand there, yelling at us; telling us what we're worth
Why…
Because we're NOT PRETTY enough,
We’re NOT WHITE enough,
We’re NOT MAN enough,
We’re NOT STRAIGHT enough,
But still human enough to hurt
Despite what you think we’re worth.
