Sugar Coating

You can't sugar coat shit and expect for it to taste sweet
Eventually you'll have to meet & greet what lies beneath
Sinking your teeth deep into the meat of the problem
That's the analytical, not political, way to solve them

Sometimes we must swim with them in shark infested waters
In order to tear down walls and open up borders
Disobeying orders when those orders are detriments
Even those of temporary residents of presidents

Set a precedence for the civilized world to follow
A sugary crust over a pool of sewage is hard to swallow
For a better tomorrow, we must stand firm on our square
Refusing to grovel even if the price is a high fare
