Partide


Life is not fair, people fight wars People disagree, people feed on The right to dominate other races In how we percieve. We want to change our old ways. We won't be held back from getting our way. We won't be told what we Can't do. So we fight wars against our Woes, we wage war against our foes, we fight for justice, We take risks, at the cost lives, with open fists. We fight because we

We fight because we deserve better, and we change what we want because it is moral. Born In The Usa There are biases within my race and culture We are blinded by looks and divided by gangs To live in any place is not safe on the streets We are always competing with our needs In my culture we represent one skin color We come from many breeds We speak different dialects of English We are separated yet equal in some extint We are Americano, Black Indians and Africanas We are islanders, Latinos and Japanese Because we are different, we are not treated the same

Defining an common ground so we won't stray Coming from different backgrounds is no problem Where we are what we eat, in whose company we keep But our cultural environment is how we represent It is what defines us and makes us distinct
