I Sing of Thee

CATEGORY

Views: 210

my country tis of thee 

allow me to speak unapologetically

courageous and daring in my

dark brown discriminated skin

nine ether curls, i smirkishly grin

residing in country in a state of not enough love

exerting way too much hate

incapable of properly correcting sin

people lost and confused

where does one begin

why can't we all be judged for what's within

sweet land of liberty what is happenin'

i sing of thee

breaking chains of mental slavery

i've never witness such inequality

what has, will have been

isn't it up to us to exalt honor and self-discipline

my country tis of thee

i speak unapologetically

walking with my head high respectively

land where my ancestors fought and died

land where the descendants took pride

odd, but threatening to some is

my pigmented skin and my stride

i have nothing to hide

science teaches there's always light to the dark side

are all women and men not born free

my country tis of thee

sweet land, what happened to your liberty

i sing of thee

freedom will ring

i sing
