No Walls

I ain’t rock, and I ain’t roll 
I ain’t country and I ain’t soul
Rap it don’t relate to me
We can be all of these if we’re free

To that lady who carries our light
Breaks my heart that it don’t burn bright
Our house, well it should be of glass
Through which the truth does pass

There are no rooms in which we belong
It’s just an American auditorium
A mixing bowl oh so grand
Heralding the equality of man

We put aside the segregation
Now let’s quit the separation
Let’s join together for one big stand 
The ascension of America’s plan

Keep us fractured many empires shall be
As they drive us to our bended knee
It don’t have to be that way
We’re all American born, American free

It ain’t the ones at our feet
They’re on our shoulders for our defeat
Trying to steal our freedom, money and soul
For this they conspire as their goal

So we ain’t republican or democrat
Cause that’s not even where it’s at
We ain’t conservative or liberal
Don’t try to place us in that cell

We don’t care about left or right
It’s only America we care for and fight
So quit trying to build those prison walls
Remember we own these hallowed halls

We’re Americans that’s all we be
And we’ll tell you once, better listen see.
You better pay attention, know what we mean
Or we’ll grab a broom and sweep her clean.

Raise high the flag, and shake my hand
Cause I'm just an American
