Great United
Let me tell you the step by step process to creating the Great United States Of America.
Step One: Find a large territory to form the country.
Step two: Kick whoever is on the territory out by any means necessary.
Step three: Name the territory. I’d say America is a good name.
Step Four: Claim you were the first to find the territory.
Step Five: Write a set of rules.
Step Six: Write a set of laws.
Step Seven: Elect a president
Step Eight: ignore the rules
Step Nine: Do completely unethical things to the people of your country.
Step 10: Maybe it's time to retry.
Step 11: Actually we are too far in to retry, Welcome to the GREAT united states of America where we wear pointy hats and share beds with rats!
We see white vs black and streets full of crack
We can't tell the difference between fiction and fact
or a verbal attack
Or if moralities back
Open your eyes
Fatalities stack
Rationality lacks
Personalities crack
We’re all gonna die
Don't complain, you never tried to fight for the right to fight for your rights
Use your brain, why won't you try to fight for their rights
Try. to fight. for their rights.
If your daughter were the one slitting her throat in front of your eyes you just might.
If your mother were being beaten because she was white you'd fight.
If you heard your little brother begging for his life as he's running from the light, hell would freeze over and the day would turn to night
But since you were told who to like, that makes you fine with who does and doesn't die.
I just can't understand how this is worth a vote
Were watching babies die and bodies sent away in totes
We believe in the lies and the men who provoke
We start to use AI and claim we are well spoke
I see teachers telling us to use it for our notes
Stop,
Thats Plagiarism
But dont worry theres problems other than you
The whole world fits a shoe
Yea this country really is a joke
And its ran by jokes too
Our president claimed an MRI was to check for the flu
Our secretary of health thinks ibuprofen causes autism too
We claimed we helped after taking away millions of people's ability to access food
We attack people if they have a different point of view
We make fun of the way people chew and activities they do
We as a country will lose hope if we don't find color in the common view
So now this comes down to you
And remember, not everything you hear is true
So make your own decisions not what he tells you to do
And if there's any hope, it's in the youth
