The Semiotics of The American Flag
The red stripe is symbolically representative of valor and bravery
We're being slaughtered in the streets but that's supposed to be ok I see
And many feel that we should take pride in a song by Francis Scott Key
While being pissed off because of some football players taking a knee
The white stripe is symbolically representative of innocence
Void of all things colored anywhere within its pure presence
While the color black is considered evil or of gloom inherently
Blackmail or the black male living in hell is all the same apparently
The blue stripe is representative of vigilance, perseverance and justice
All of those attributes are admired and revered except when it comes to us
Instead we're called son's of bitches by an ignorant narcissistic ass president
More and more everyday I have an increase in my dismay over all this bullshit
