Equity and Equality
Don’t get it twisted.
This land was made for you and me
But it lacks equity, you see
We did not start from the same place
And neither are we of the same Race
How dare your laws be considered fair
When equality is an illusion in the air
Our names sound alike and we are pals
But the difference between us is crucial
Equity is not equality.
Equality is not equity.
In the Land of the free and home of the poor
We must do better
We must do more
Both equity and equality need more awareness
To push the United States towards fairness
