This Is America

The inside of me wants to explode
With the racism, and the disgrace that kanye has told
The sunken place is real
The effect it has on him
You already know the deal
The audacity to speak on "your" people
The people who represent US
When we live day by day
Yelling out...BLACK LIVES MATTER
Slaves by choice? 
CHOICE??? NOT AN OPTION!!! 
Don't make a bigger corruption
A big named figure
Go figure!
You are supposed to be representing all things
We need to expand our minds
Childish Gambino
Represented in a 3 min video
Our days are not about slavery
It is about dance and tweets
How bout schooling the streets
You should educate yourself
On the facts
Read a book or two
African Americans, their choice was to RUN
HELD DOWN because no one assisted
Where did "College Dropout" Kanye go
Please, step it up & stay "woke"
You getting schooled by childish gambino
NOW....
"THIS IS AMERICA"
