Liberty’s Legs Are Spread

Through the sickness and the slaughter                            
still are your sons & daughters                              
Sipping survival like Flint Water                      
Newark urban experi-ment water                           
consume just enough to get by                              
but we die a little                          
just enough to get high          
so we fly a little                          
but we can’t get far enough                        
from the famine                        
hard to think much less examine                
                            
I Tell you                              
when you tip the well                              
wish them well first                              
this goes beyond thirst                              
progress reversed          
     
Recession                            
Praying for a blessin’      
   
Extermination    
Not really a united nation    
                          
American soil soaked in sweat and sin                              
borders death and grim                              
hard to lift your chin                      
                     
So we...                      
“grab them by the pussy”                              
Lady Liberty’s legs are spread,                              
and chaos is crowning                              
we are 40 days & nights past drowning.                        
                             
the levee broke                              
are we really woke?                      
5 days FEMAless at the superdome                      
20,000 without home              
                 
we are brainwashed                              
we are sinking!                              
immersed in negative thinking                      
               
What was our president drinking ?!              
tossing napkin rolls                              
while death tolls                              
were rising                              
called it enterprising                  
Not surprising            
         
We’re thirsty.                       
This is unearly.        
to allow so much preventable death      
Ain’t got much left.      
Puerto Rico put 3 thousand to rest.      
Worried about a vape when the Amazon is  
putting smoke in my chest  
Where’s the water for the 🔥  
Will you be the one to bring overflow ?
