The Dreamland We Withhold


 

 

We’re here on this Dream Land

The land that we call home

The land where we say that we all get along

The land that we say we own

 

Blonde Hair

Blue Eyes

White Skin

What you’re in

 

“It's our land”

“The land that we branded AMERICA”

“Our dream land came to reality”

“It was the Native American that caused so much brutality !”

“We were here first”

“We just took out the rest of the dirt”


 

Black Hair

Brown Eyes

Brown Skin

What I'm in

 

“It's our land”

“We’re from the motherland”

“We were here first”

“From Dust to Dirt”

“Adam & Eve”

“We’re the first one I believe !”

 

Black Hair

Brown Eyes

Red Skin

Is what they’re truly in

 

“It’s our land”

“We tried to take a stand”

“They took over”

“ And that's when everything changed over”

“They had Guns and Gunpowder”

“ When Christopher Columbus came with the Mayflower”

“ He overcame and gained so much power”

“But we tried to fight”

“Their weapons were very bright”

“We had Bow & Arrows”

“ It was all over when we heard the last sparrows”

“Our sweet home , wasn't there”

“And everything became a glare”
