America the Beautiful America the Great No Unity No United States America the Beautiful America the ugly America has shown America don’t love me America the Beautiful America the Great No Unity No United States America the Beautiful America the ugly America has shown America don’t love me Good Morning America can you hear my voice It’s your unwanted child that didn’t have a choice Of coming to America like Prince Akeem You stole me to live Your American dream Using my skills my blood and my tears To build this great nation and now it’s crystal clear That even with 13th you just don’t care My American dream has been a living nightmare For four hundred years in the land of the free No justice for all when it comes to me Go back to Africa You say it so boldly But you raped my motherland and over here you sold me Erased my history and gave me religion Made strange fruit from your motherless children For not agreeing with your plan for me But your vision of America I just can’t see America the Beautiful America the Great No Unity No United States America the Beautiful America the ugly America has shown America don’t love me America the Beautiful America the Great No Unity No United States America the Beautiful America the ugly America has shown America don’t love me Now the declaration states we’re created equal But neglect and abuse is what you’ve shown your people You’ve taken everything including my name But Human rights are non-negotiable Simple and plain If the truth is self-evident its time for a change It’s long over due from the centuries of pain Systematic racism played a part The murder of George Floyd Ignited the spark Of a smoldering fire Burning four hundred years In the last few years I’ve seen too many of my peers Killed for being black as you watch us die You have no conscience Cause you just stand by Not changing the laws or changing the system Its murder if a cop kills an unarmed victim Kap took a knee as a way to protest But rebel flags still fly but you won’t call that disrespect America the Beautiful America the Great No Unity No United States America the Beautiful America the ugly America has shown America don’t love me America the Beautiful America the Great No Unity No United States America the Beautiful America the ugly America has shown America don’t love me Now you love black culture but hate black people The 14th amendment didn’t make us equal Just like the 13th didn’t make us free Cause the melanin of my skin is all you ever see Defined by my hue cause that’s all you’re seeing Take a deep look and see a human being Intelligent and strong yet considered a beast That why guns are always drawn when encountered by police You hate my existence and feel no shame The original sin has brought years of pain The war didn’t end in 1865 Cause that rebel mindset is still alive With the doctors, lawyers and politicians Corrupt police killing all these unarmed victims Like Dontre Hamilton And Eric Garner John Crawford And Laquan McDonald We had Michael Brown Akai Gurley Tamir Rice and I know it hurts the Families of the people that you’ve taken away Like Sandra Bland Trayvon and Freddie Gray We had Ahmad and Breanna and Countless others Am I not a Man Am I not a brother We gotta peel back the scab Of this open wound Cause when these riots take place It’s a reflection of you America the Beautiful America the Great No Unity No United States America the Beautiful America the ugly America has shown America don’t love me America the Beautiful America the Great No Unity No United States America the Beautiful America the ugly America has shown America don’t love me Wanna Say Rest in Power To Our fallen kings and queens Emmitt Till The Charleston 9 George Floyd Ahmad Arbury Tamir Rice Breanna Taylor Trayvon Martin Saundra Bland Eric Garner George Stinney Walter Scott Jordan Davis Dontray Hamilton Freddie Gray John Crawford Philando Castile Akai Gurley Michael Brown Alton Sterling Ezell Ford Samuel DuBose Laquan McDonald Antonio Martin Jerame Reid Terence Crutcher Charley Keunang Tony Robinson Anthony Hill Eric Harris Meagan Hockaday Joseph Mann William Chapman Jonathan Sanders Jeremy McDole Corey Jones Bruce Kelley Jr Jamar Clark Paul O’Neal Korryn Gaines Sylville Smith Keith Lamont Scott Alfred Olango Deborah Danner Dr. King Malcolm X And all of our ancestors
