This is America
where the color of your skin can be a crime
this is America where unarmed black men bodies fall like dominoes
Here in the land of the free, only if you have the right skin-tone
This is America
Home of the free, land of the brave
home of the enslaved and land of the innocent graves
Slavery is still alive, it’s called prison
This is America
Where the gun laws are a joke
But isn’t funny, another school shooting another parent left buried their child
It’s more of a trend to be “woke”,
taking a knee during the national anthem
is a symbol of standing for black lives matter
This is America
Another black life taken, another child falling victim to not having a father
Another mother to play both roles
A child being swallowed by the system that’s designed to keep blacks inline with drugs, prisons, and ghettos
This is America
Another body laying lifeless in the streets on tonight’s news, people watching for from the comfort of their television screen,
but that body laying dead in the streets will never make it home
Did anybody hear that black boy scream ?
That boy, that son, that brother, that father is now gone
This is America
The KKK white hoodies been dried blue
no longer burning crosses, now they walk with badges
Crackers no longer have whips
that cracks against the black skin
No longer leave open wounds across the back, now they have guns and aim for the chest
Bullets that rips through the flash and bone like paper
Bullets that steals the soul from the body without warning or hesitation
This is America...where it’s a crime to be black
