There Shall Be No Praise-

There shall be no praise
In your rage
Through your discomfort
Within all your hatred
There shall be no praise
you strong-arm those races
Who are not in compliance
With your suppressing and genocide wishes
In your rage
You gamble you parley
No mercies granted
There shall be no praise
Yet we have the same God
Who's your master?
You cover up your disgust 
You call it trust
There shall be no praise
Hanging memories first-second generations,
hanging necks closed eyes on trees
Where's the equality
I'm non-European-caucasian
There shall be no praise
You can't escape God's palette
the mixer, original artist
In your rage 
You caused this
Through your discomfort
Within all your hatred
There shall be no praise
you strong-arm those races
Who are not in compliance
With your suppressing and genocide wishes
In your rage
In your mistrust
In your discrimination
Against those non-European-caucasian
Careful 
You caused this
There shall be no praise
Through your discomfort
Within all your hatred
You're so complacent
In your hatred
There shall be no praise
In your rage
There shall be no praise
For the way you behave
There shall be no praise

This makes me uncomfortable James, and that tells me how powerful it is.
