it seems like today people shy away from what is true so worried about the things people may say or do but the way i am i could really care less think I'm lying okay lets put it to the test we live in the most corrupt country on earth the evidence in plain sight you don't even have to search maybe like on 9/11 when America killed thousands of its own scared the hell out of you then took every civil right that you owned or maybe when slaves were brought over and put through awful conditions gave them a bible and beat them if they didn't listen so don't be surprised if people still kill while claiming they are christians they told my people if they don't obey they'd go to hell sounds like a made up fairy tale so we wouldn't rebel America is a country truly built off of lies i won't even elaborate on the white guy from Africa with blonde hair and blue eyes I'd rather talk about this green paper that just fell from the sky the very thing my people chase after and for it they will die never finding true happiness for it is a never ending maze its hard to save some who when they don't think they are even a slave despite what society depicts i'm proud of my people because its not what it appears i'd have to say we are doing pretty good to have been slaves for over 400 years all we see on tv is the worst representation so we can see ourselves as bad but were angels compared to America just take a look into their past so don't listen to that stuff that they put all over the news the good outweighs the bad but that won't get any views the thug isn't the black kid thats holding his pants as they sag its the guy on wall street thats never portrayed to be bad knowledge is power, you could never convince me that my people are thugs when America has been killing forever while its just pushed under the rug so no i won't worship your white jesus or salute to your flag or fight for your country from love that i never had i won't sell your drugs so i can quickly acquire your riches i won't disrespect my black queens by calling them hoes and b**** i won't kill another brother that looks just like me i won't walk around ignorant like you want me to be i won't read your bible and i don't believe in your hell no amount of money will make me change as my heart's not for sale i don't believe my people are bad if you do that is a crying shame so here are your strings back because I'm done playing your game.
