A Delicate Situation

America...
Not the same anymore is it?
As a matter of fact I'll basically defend it
And contradict myself and it only by condemning it...
And then...
I'll provide ways to save it...
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America
That was written back in 1787
When I forefathers wanted a land that wasn't anywhere close to being heaven
But it was beautiful in its own way and that's the lesson
They fought the issues that mattered and fought to protect their beliefs
Well if that's the case with them
Why not the case with me?
Not using race or anything cause America was a slice of racial cake
And come to think of it
It's still the same today
White, black, Latino and Asian
We all celebrate Christmas though the holiday is pagan
Instead of replacing misunderstanding with love we've replaced it with hate
Now look at the Asian continent
Waiting to decide our fate
We've stuck our foot in others business to tell them what they can't do
And we won't even protect ourselves from the devilish things we do
Corrupt police officers
Racist and illogical minded politicians
I live in Georgia and I know Nathan Deal is one of them
Outsourcing jobs to who you call terrorists
And bring them over here and they do terrorist shit
But after all this is the land of opportunity
Land of the free
Land where there's supposed to be peace and tranquility
The place where everybody is patriot for her
America is a Delicate place just like a flower
We sell ourselves to the other countries that don't deserve it
America has become a whore to those who can see it
We share our ideas with those who can destroy our credibilty
I still remember when to other countries
That Ford meant fix or repair daily
And look what we do to ourselves
Kill the people that help make this country itself
And we hate each other and separate ourselves
We've forgotten how to love because there is no trust
And without an America there is no us
It's a Delicate situation
And it's nothing but showing us that we ourselves are two faced
Like a penny with Abe Lincoln on the front and a shield on the back
George Washington the face of the quarter and the back an eagle
We built this from the ground up
So why can't we stand up?
America our now wild and crazy teenager
She's wrecking herself and the ways she's doing it is major
Contradict the preamble of the Constitution
When the people don't have the power to do any of the choosing
Cops killing people brutally and they're not just black
Their white, Hispanic, and Asian at that
We destroy ourselves everyday and every minute
Our own military fighting somebody else's war but our country we can't defend
We need more than a president more than a house
More than a Senate
We need Mickey Mouse
An imagination
To change this crazy land back into a conserved nation
Where nothing exists and there's more love than racism
But America how can we do this?
When to help our own government by creating a new one is considered treason?
We're hypocrites
That's what Russia, North Korea, and Germany are saying
Considering the fact they're ready to tear our asses in
Form a new place in history and change our country's name
Enslave us all and we won't ever be the same
We're destroying ourselves till there's nothing left
Trying to control others when our own secrets have depth
To the root of our core
It's a Delicate situation
America-0 while the others have scored
The men who sit on their places on Mount Rushmore
Envisioned a better land
And that's what we fought for
A place where there's nothing but hope and opportunity
And Abraham Lincoln built a land for you and me
And George Washington fought for us to breathe
Thomas Jefferson said the government is best when it governs the least
The people discipline themselves because we're at peace
Abraham Lincoln said we destroy our enemies by making them our friends
And look at what we've done
We've failed at that end on end
Theodore Roosevelt said it's hard to fail, but worse to have never tried to succeed
America should never give up
These principles are what we need
And we should stop our land from seeking greed
We are our natural resource so we're all we need
Land abundant still and Twin Towers standing tall
The statue of liberty and James Madison have said it all
Liberty is to factions what air is to fire
And we've so far separated our factions and that's the air that fuels the fire
But if we close our own mouths and fully understand
Then and only then can America begin to stand again
And we the people of this country we are the voice
Physically speaking we have the choice
And I am of Generation X
We are the future
America give us our voice
And we'll save you
We'll bring back innovation and realism and technology to your face
When America functions properly
We never break
And crap we don't take
From any of our rivals
So will we stand tall stop this nation from being it's demise
Or lay back in the grass and close our eyes
It's a Delicate situation, America, I know
But we gave birth to this country
Now we have to help it grow
It's been malnourished, misused and it's been struggling
It's scared to talk up so it's been whispering
No we have a voice loud and clear as an Eagle's call
America we can stand back up and we can own ourselves
And love ourselves and then
We'll own it all
