Average Day In America

Location

Our president is black,
we still have problems with Iraq,
Osama may be dead,
But Obama still attacks,
concerned bout rep,
We should concern about  the reps,
Choosing where we fit,
And the food that we digest,
Land of the free,
But we're all behind prison bars,
I'm sorry that's if your black and can't afford shining cars,
Abide by the law,
But cops break it,
More than a convict does,
They do whatever they want,
Something different you want to sell,
Then explain the situation that occurred at fruitvale
It's a quarter to save a dog,
A nickel to save a kid,
Living in Africa that's the way is,
They rather see orange chicken,
Then a could've been slave live,
we're not free,
If racism still exists,
To the extent where it delays what we get,
Still lower than dirt,
To white supremes,
In southern turfs,
But do we look at how it works?
