If equality isn't on the table (then don't pretend it is...)

something doesn't feel right
I think it might be the bullshit in the air �
smiling to my face �
asking me about my day �
then going on Facebook �
spouting racist rhetoric �
I'm not liberal �
but I'm sure as hell not conservative �
not when hate is part of the package �

I dont need reparations �
not looking for hand outs, or respect �
i've lived long enough �
to know it's all a an illusion �
political mind fucking �
to try to twist right and wrong �
if you can't see me as an equal �
then don't pretend we're friends �
I give as much a fuck that are given �
�
essential seems more like sacrificial �
place me on a cross �
call me brown Jesus �
I love my country �
doesn't mean I need to like the people �
think we need less opinion �
especially from those �
that can't let go of the Civil War �
supported a insurrection �
then talk like they're the true patriots �
don't like America �
then get the fuck out �
sound familiar? �
�
sticks and stones �
can break your bones �
but words sure do make people cry �
I'm less sensitive �
maybe I lack emotions �
i'll say it like this �
I dont need advice �
from anyone who hasn't lived my life �
It's clear equality is off the table �
so get bent �
get fucked �
get hit �
by a mother fucking truck �
