Backstage, hidden behind a red velvet curtain, lies our nation’s corruption and hypocrisy.
In the performance we give out to the rest of the world we are portrayed as the country with the ideal democracy.
My country,
a place of unrealized potential.
A place where mediocrity is celebrated,
where success is under cut and not rated.
I am sick and tired of this corruption, these white devils act as if there is no God. I called them white devils not because of the color their skin. Because they're lost in sin, drowning in darkness trouble waters.

Thy art wrenched into turmoil, approaching death leaving life.
A vast majority of poverty victims experience an absence of faith.
Disharmonizing society and creating controversy, and strife.
In the land of the free
In the home of the brave,
We are no longer
The ones who save.
When our flags burn
And our hearts despair,
We gotta make this world a better place,
been looking for a better space.
They looking for a place in space.
We looking high even though they hit us low. Change trying to come but it's slow.
In this world it's filthy.
Over 300 years of incarceration.
Today we still got our people living in incarceration.
We were the ones who built this nation. Because of our skin color hard to find an occupation.
somewhere hidden behind closed doors. somewhere in the midst of reality, there lies deceptions and propaganda to sway the mimds of the young the poor and the weak.
They say this is the land of the free, but how can that be
when the police are shooting black people like me.
Every day I see not the land of the free
Not here where children on the streets unkind beg for scraps
Our government, the wolf in sheep’s clothing, giving the illusion of help
Corruption, Corruption everywhere
Want to know more, just ask the Blairs
Not in power anymore, still alot to answer for.
IRAQ WAR !
Head in the clouds, I see skyscrapers
below, the ocean seemed crystal clear,
so i search the deep blue waters and,
everything is submerged into a blur
I saw junk, rust, metal scraps and corpses
Prophets.
These prophets are profiting from our consciousness.
These prophets are extincting our autonomous
Chem trails make me feel like I'm trapped in hell
They're from a plan of the government that still hasn't failed
They're slowly making us sick while we wonder how
The time for them to be exposed has come to now
“We the People”
The government likes to say
Pretend they’re on your side
But they’ll betray you any day
The officials say they “protect you”
But that’s not really true
They’ll throw you under the bus
