Why do I Stand for the Flag
"Oh say can you see...,"
We're living in a land that is still not free.
They kill sons of our mothers
No "Sons of Liberty"
Can stop the deaths of our brothers,
If we're both American why are we hurting each other
Filled with death and violence,
to keep our voices in silence,
makes us think differently next time we hear them sirens.
Are "All Men Created Equal?"
Because "America has never been America to me"
It's a land of hopes and many dreams
Land of brave but not of free
If you think so then I say to thee
"How many innocent black graves do you see?"
"And how many more do there need to be?"
Distribution of Opportunity
Is not passed out equally
O' sweet land of Liberty
America is a beautiful nation.
The problem I'm facing
is that the ideals are complacent
while my mind is racing
Like you have to face this
America is racist
Civil rights gave us Obama
then for awhile they take six
so then I ask again
Are "All Men Created Equal?"
maybe the Constitution needs a sequel
The man who wrote it raped his slave
maybe the system met its final days
I stand for a flag that waved
proud and loud
above a nation of slaves
A land of regression
Race based oppression
Justfying Confederates
For pride in South Secession
I stand and pledge in hopes to teach a lesson
I stand for the long way we've come
I stand for the Civil victories won
Time and time again I stand
In hope to forgive
In hopes be a bigger man
