This is a flawed system friends
I ain’t gonna pretend
No matter your race
You’re set up to fall
Societal class model…
No equality face it
This hypocrisy under God
Mocking all for which it stood
All divisible…
Liberty and justice for all?
The common fallacy
Should have seen it coming
Now we see it go
It’s too late
What we want we can’t get
And which we need is all gone
The gap is between Us and Them
Its insurmountable odds, can’t overcome
Created equally? A joke it’s a lie
Seared in our membranes
The lie told often enough
So now you believe them
You can’t see the truth and
You can’t see its faults
So if it continues? Well
It will remain all of Them
But none Us, extinguished
This is our last chance
We must change this
With fist raised
We march
It comes simply down to this…
Us
Or
Them
