Raise My Voice and Rise
I grew up with a carefree view of the world in my youth
I didn’t change until I realized the hard-hitting truth
I started caring about issues in politics and society
Constantly thinking about figuring out a remedy
My worldview became impacted when I improved my literacy
Literature on public figures opened up my eyes to see
Martin Luther King Jr. made me realize the struggle with ethnicity
It really started way back with ethnocentricity
That built a nation with racism and discrimination
That includes White and Aryan Race Supremacy
From Nazi Germany
That got its idea from Russian Slavic-Nationalism
But France is the birthplace of Nationalism
Cesar Estrada Chávez made me see how he was a fighter
No, not the boxing fighter but a social justice warrior
And there is also Mahatma Ghandi
All the way to Propaghandi
From Malcolm X to the band X
And I for one, will not believe in the fantasy
That was fabricated by Mr. Walt Disney
Thank you but I have read my World History
There was the British East India Company
As well as the Opium War in Chinese History
So, I will express my political opinion with my voice
And I don’t care if it makes noise
But you have left me with no choice
That is part of the reason for my musical pursuit
Excuse me you might for being so rude
But I am only promulgating truth
So, take that thought as foodI grew up with a carefree view of the world in my youth
