Stars & Stripes of Disunity

Taught to admire and desire everything except our own culture
Then when we look over it's being taken over by vultures
Then society tries to dispose of us using modern day genocide
And too many of our folks in the sunken place are scared to ride

But we'll ride for the other side if Trump ever declared war
Yet war has been declared and perpetrated right at our front door
I've been keeping score as we're losing more and more on a daily
Cleverly divided and conquered by the stars and stripes of disunity

As we keep singing The Star Spangled Banner written by racist Francis Scott Key
Spoon fed and beat into our heads that red, white and blue represents us all equally
As far as I can see, that is a fallacy that many believe even as we're bodied by police
Until I'm shown otherwise my third eye is exposing what I just scribed as the altered reality
