Land of the Somewhat Free
I am going to be blunt
Police are murdering black kids
Poor considered less than the 5%
Politicians are lying
President won't say a word about black boys dying
They passing anti-gay laws
Haven't said a word about guns
One of them kills people
One is basic human rights
And we pray and cover our eyes saying they wont take those away
Yet we got a first amendment zone down in Ferguson
We the land of the somewhat free
Still struggling to get married in most states you see
I still got to fight to make it higher
And they still expect me to sleep with them to get there
I won’t be able to afford this house in ten years
Broke straight out of college
Can’t get a job then
Better to not go
But then I still can't make it nowhere
America is messed up
The land of the somewhat free
It happens everywhere they say
That still doesn't make it okay
We are here
So we got to make a change here
If we don't our children gone be just like us
Watching black boys being murdered
And the nation doing nothing.
Land of the somewhat free.
