She has rode on the backs of my ancestors
The kidnapped africans.
She sucked all the breath from their lungs.
Slowly ravishing and confusing their minds
while keeping their bodies strong.She hides her grotesque features
always wanting you to stare into her hypnotic gaze.
She wants you to clam her the
most beautiful nation in the world
as you lured into her crafty illusions.
Pledge your allegiance to her flagShe want you so turned up you never realize
she numbing your fucking mind.If she keeps your mind in bondage
you believe you must be depicted as a inferior savage.
She is that sexy siren walling seductive tunes in your ears as she works her sensuous magic on the people.
While exploiting body parts for profit.
she plots your descent into the
deep depths of a hellish state of mind.She is temptation wearing you down.
She wants you so drunken with rage all you can do is rant.
Chase her american dreams
Drowned in her milky oasis drape your self in her honey.
It doesn't matter if you can't keep up with her frantic pace.
Now you forever stuck in the sunken place.
Now I am in debt trying to buy that fast car.But she keeps accelerate up
the speed raising up the price of admission.Drafting my kids into senseless wars.
While always hating the complexion of my skin.
Yet she is offended when I bend my knee to salute her flag.She will continue to dangle the carrot in my face.
If I never wake up from this drunken rage.
Then I will forever be in her horror showFor the truth is
I can save her
purging her of her destructive ways
hating her is not answer
forgiving her is the answer.
Will my people reach the mountain top?
