We live in a country where, we become aware
of political issues through songs.
Songs stating, "This is America" its just not fair.
Children being ripped away from their mothers,
I AM BLACK AND I AM PROUD
The color of my skin
The way i walk and talk
Offend you i am sorry i cant change that
I wont go undercover to please you
I wont change the tone of my voice
I do care, shouldn't you?
Of a war torn world
Where your race and class rule your life
With hatred at every border
Children losing their childhood
Wondering what tragedy can possibly come next
