Peace
How do I obtain peace
In a world full of indifference
Don't disregard my deliverance
In a world so cold
I take everything I was told
And try not to fold
How do I obtain peace
Hold my hands high and pray towards the east
Red, white and blue
Those colors don't represent my freedom
They only pertaining to you
How do I obtain peace
When my ancestry pain runs so deep
Blood runs through America's dirt
Its always been our people getting hurt
I think about my strength to voice These words
They will not go unheard
America is the BIGGEST crime
This is not your land
the natives were here long before time
How do I obtain peace
In a world so rotten
Wrongfully and illegally gotten
There is no peace until christ comes back
To put everything back in tact
