"let Freedom Reign"
Let freedom rain like the drops from the sky
Let freedom reign it was said but to me it’s a lie
What does it mean to be free?
In this world free is of an idea
Not reality so in all actuality how can freedom reign
Free: not enslaved or held captive
Enjoying personal rights and liberty
But the truth is that I pay for the air
That I breathe I literally live for a fee
In a world where potent politicians
Navigate words persuasively
Covering up the corrupt
Just to keep it away from me, away from we
See they give us no choices
This comes with no explanations
And they can curve any path they want
With no direct destination
Yet still in a world where every boy & girl
Wants to be an entertainer or famous an actor or actress
And supposedly this is the land of the free
But yet I’m caged paying taxes
And I see the white collar worker trapped in his castle
Mugging us and bugs to us as if we are a hassle
So he digs in my pocket trying to profit
And it’s illegal to stop it so I just sit what a look that is baffled
It’s like their robbing us blind
But we clearly can see it
Because we see between the lines
But between the lines we don’t read it
So that means they keep feeding
The land of the free where gas a gallon is a dollar plus three
The land of the free where candidates are uttering trust me
But there must be a way for a change
But until that day just “LET FREEDOM REIGN”
