AVOW.


Feeling so heavy at times you can barely breathe

You worry you stress then try to lay down with all that and rest

You see their struggles It eats at your soul

This world we live in is so cold

USA land of free

Nothing free about the way we living

Slaved to the government

Do as we say or no way

Pay up or put out

They advertise such a marvelous place Really this shit's a disgrace

Fein for green

Money hungry

Its go get it or get got

Smh Usa U for United

Tuhhh

Nothing united about this place we call home

Tvs of endless murder Streets of walking dead

All this type shit fucks up one's head

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the Fuckd up states of America and fuck the republic in which it stands one nation under god in slavery and i wish justice for all

That's how I see the pledge just a bunch of words misled

Take my bifocals so you can see with me

What the world was born to be

From creation till today nothing has ever changed

The world we live in can never be explained

Sit back and look

Take the filter off the surface

And lets Reveal What's concealed
